Chico's album pick of the week! whoa Toni! I know this is not a album...but does that matter? No! Anyway I've been listening to "The Heat" by Toni Braxton. This has got to be one of my favourite albums. As the kids on the org say nowadays.."It's Slammin'". Sexy, sensual, romantic, funky, soulful and filled with attitude. "He Wasn't Man Enough For Me" is the 'stuff' baby. Makes you wanna go out on the dance floor and ! "Spanish Guitar" sounds slightly like an "Un-Break My Heart" part 2. But is actually a millions times better. "The Art of Love", an almost entirely instrumental song with a few "ooohs" & "ahhs" ,a little moaning here and there, and a few suggestive lines from Miss Braxton, is a pure baby making song! Think Art of Noise's "Moments In Love" with a heavier and much more sensual beat. The title track, "The Heat", could be a nice chill out with friends by the pool type of song...or, a great bump and grind with your lover. "Maybe" talks about givin' up da ass. "Should I give him some....maybe. Is this the night for fun....maybe." This song is sensual and funky, with Toni doing that fast almost rap like singing a'la Bone Thugs in Harmony. But she actually sounds good doing it. (lyrics posted below. ) I think this album is well produced, written, and performed. Every song is great, and the album has fluidity as far as song placement and thematically as well. Though she won a Grammy for it, I'm surprised how many people have not really heard it. This album makes me wish I wasn't single. Ok..I'm over it now. Does anyone else love this album? Oh yeah..here are the lyrics for: MAYBE Is tonight’s the night that you take Control of me Tell me boy what’s itreally gonna be Spending time for a while Oh daddy come close I’m straight I’m feeling your style I love the way you make me feel When you keep it real When you’re holding me When you’re spooning me Oh you look sexy when you’re Touching me When you’re bumping me gently Sitting here waiting in my vicky’s In the mirror imaging you’re with me Petit cheri and I’m smelling real nice And jouet could chillin’ on ice Coming over at a half past ten And I’m wondering if I’m really gonna Let him in Give in Give it up Let it go Or tell him no Should I just give him some Maybe Is this the night for fun Maybe So here it is and he comes right in And I fix us drinks And I start to think About what I’m gonna do Will a brother be true Will he size my body up and down Can he beat the odds Can he play it safe Will he make me hot Will he hit the spot That I love a lot Will he leave me hanging lonely Desperately Will he go and tell all his friends That we did it and we did it again Had me weak between the sheets Will he say I was a real big freak Maybe I should slow it down Cool off my flow relax And let him know if this gets out No more no glove no love oh no Should I just give him some Maybe Is this the night for fun Maybe Should I just give him some Maybe Is this the night for fun Maybe Maybe Pretty baby Love me like a lady Should I say yes or no Should I just let it go Should I slow down my roll Let me think ’cuz I really don’t know Don’t know what to do about it baby If I do it will I regret it Maybe I should just forget it What about if he ain’t got no dough Tell me I should let him go Maybe Should I give him some Pretty baby Maybe that last pic was damn near bigger than the computer edit.

It's probably her best record, overall. I also liked More Than A Woman, which wasn't well-receieved. | |

I was a bit disappointed with "More Than A Woman". Even though I bought it brand new for $5. I need to take another listen or two before I start using it as a coaster. | |

You don't like anything do you? Go listen to Slayer and leave this thread alone why don't you! A hot potato 'up' her throat? 1. Shouldn't it be down her throat? and 2. I've never heard anyone sing with a potato in their throat before. Sounds interesting. | |
