After a nearly four-year absence from recording, Toni Braxton returns with The Heat, her third album. Full of drama--sometimes melodrama--it unsurprisingly puts Braxton's rich voice and command of nuance front and center of one state-of-the-art track after another. Unfortunately, The Heat plays up her taste for ballads to such a point that the disc bores itself into a quiet-storm rut. The big exception is the Rodney Jerkins-produced first single, "He Wasn't Man Enough." The song's smoldering rebuff and Jerkins's measured funk make a perfect match for Braxton's matter-of-fact hauteur. She also delivers a tough take on reality with "Just Be a Man About It," which pits her against Dr. Dre in a breakup scenario that carries much more force than weightless trifles such as the filler sex-me-up "The Art of Love" and Diane Warren's "Spanish Guitar." --Bob Roget

Loved this CD November 25, 2008
I am not a huge fan of Toni Braxton but I purchased this some time ago for "Speaking in Tongues" and it has been one of my favorite slow jams CD's for a while now. She has such a sultry sexy voice sets the tone from the beginning.
There are a few up beat songs on this as well and I think it was made popular from the single "Just be a Man about it" as well as "He wasn't man enough for me" but it's a all around good CD.

 NOT AS STRONG AS HER PREVIOUS RELEASES, BUT TONI PROVES SHE DO (AND WILL) HAVE STAYING POWER! December 9, 2007
Leading this project is the Hit Single: "He Wasn't Man Enough". Other strong tracks: "Spanish Guitar", "Just Be A Man About It". Although this project is more Contemporary than her previous project (Maybe she's just tryin' to keep up with the times). It would be nice for her go back to basics (Maybe even a project with The London Symphony). This project just proves that she can even keep up the younger generation.
 Hot like Fire? Look ahead to check it... December 7, 2007

Nice August 15, 2007
This album is great. If you are in to relaxing or slow music, this is good.There are a few song that are fast,like Gimme Some ft. Left eye.This song is like a fast song surrounded by slow ones, but if you haven't had this album added to your cart, you need to pick it up
Toni's Changed Her Style, But Still Good March 16, 2007
After Toni's bankruptcy trial, she came back with The Heat a great album but if you're looking for another Secrets then you'll be disappointed. The album's opener "He Wasn't Man Enough" was a banger and all women could relate to this track and Toni was looking sexy in the video, the title track was good and ballads "Spanish Guitar", and "Fairy Tale" are good listens but the best one was without a doubt "Speaking in Tongues" and it should've been released as a single. This album was pretty solid but the last two track should've been left off. But Toni fans won't be disappointed.
