Free Music Notes for Ultimate Toni Braxton
Free Music Review: Great collection from an R&B songstress!
Hit: 4 Stars
Over the past 13 years, Toni Braxton has released four proper studio albums, which have each been mixed bags in terms of both genre and quality. For the most part, Ultimate Toni Braxton cuts the filler and presents a decades-worth of pop/r&b hits by one of the most recognizable voices in recent music history.
"Another Sad Love Song", "Un-Break My Heart". "Breathe Again", "He Wasn't Man Enough", "You're Makin' Me High" and "You Mean The World To Me" are all radio staples worth revisiting, and several of the songs found here, including "Let It Flow" and "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", have enhanced the films in which they were originally featured. ('Waiting To Exhale' and 'Boomerang', respectively)
As a perk, the versions of songs on Ultimate are the versions heard every 30 minutes on the radio back in the 90's. It's often disappointing to pick up an artists CD, only to realize there are an additional two minutes of the hit single(s) that you don't (and don't care to) know. This is the only Toni Braxton release to contain her debut single, a collaboration with Babyface (not so much a duet...there's more Toni than Kenny) from the 'Boomerang' movie soundtrack called "Give U My Heart".
In addition, there are two new recordings. The fun and essential Rodney Jerkins production "Whatchu Need", is easily Toni's best song since 2000's "He Wasn't Man Enough", while "The Little Things" is a yawn-fest R. Kelly rehash of "I Don't Want To", the song he penned for her in 1996, already included on this CD. The grand finale is a previously unreleased radio cut of the Hex Hector remix for "Un-Break My Heart". More effort could have been put into the sleeve art though.
Whatever is in the future for Toni Braxton, her legacy has already been conjured up. No matter what happens here, the voice she has recorded will continue to inspire so many actresses and vocalists. I just keep hoping that people will still continue to enjoy Toni Braxton's music for a very, very long time. That isn't a sad love song to sing about. A solid collection worthy of a place in any pop and R&B music lover's collection.
Free Music Review: Toni and her soulful voice
Hit: 5 Stars
Its just the perfect album to spin while you have a long bubble bath with scented candles around you.
Toni's voice never fails to make me get dreamy and all tingly inside.
Free Music Review: Perfect Complection
Hit: 5 Stars
I absolutely love this CD, it is just perfect I mean god every song on this CD is gold and anyone who thinks she cant sing is the stupidest person to walk the planet, I mean this girl can do anything. Just one thing. Where the hell is Spanish guitar.Free Music Review: Yes it is a good album, but......
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a really good album. All of her hit records are on this album, but what happened to "Spanish Guitar" and "How could and angel break my heart". How could they not put those songs on the album? Especially "Spanish Guitar" that is my absolute favorite Toni song, so I was a little upset about that. Anyway the album is still wroth buying. Free Music Review: The best song is missing (of course)
Hit: 4 Stars
This Cd is great. Really great. However, I gave it only four stars because one of her best songs was left off and that isn't a good thing. Where is Spanish Guitar??? Despite this omission, this cd is a good choice for all her fans and new listeners of hers (because other than missing Spanish Guitar, it covers all the other best songs). She's got an excellent and sultry voice. It's the best kind of music to chill out to.
