Boy do I love me some Toni Braxton... January 18, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've always been a huge fan of Toni. Growing up in a house with teenage sisters who embraced everything R&B and Hip-Hop I was initiated into the world of R&B music at a very young age. In fact it was only peer pressure ("you're White; listen to Rock") that moved me to embrace the Rock music that filters through my car stereo at large intervals. I have never though been able to shake the love I have for this style of music, and Toni Braxton, with her masculine voice and devilish good looks is one of the best in the business. This collection of some of her best work is truly a great way to go.
There's a nice balance of up-tempo club worthy tracks and sizzling ballads to please the listener in this collection. Braxton's early work like `Breathe Again' and `Another Sad Love Song' are sure to excite her fans. In fact most every song on `Ultimate Toni Braxton' is really the best she has to offer.
It's easy for fans to be entranced by the opening `Give You My Heart', the dance track featuring Babyface (who was also quite popular in the 90's). `He Wasn't Man Enough for Me' carry that same up-beat vibe and songs like `You're Making Me High' take Braxton's sizzling sensuality to a whole new level and work to make you all sorts of `warm and fuzzy'. `Hot The Freeway' with Loon (doesn't he sound like Mace?) is a decent Hip-Hop track, but it's not as strong as her more low tempo work.
Yes, Braxton was made popular by her baritone purr on steamy ballads like `Un-Break My Heart' where her words are delivered with a thick chocolate-like coating. There are so many ballads here worthy of our attention, `Love Shoulda Brought you Home', `I Love Me Some Him', `Let it Flow', `How Many Ways'; all of which are notable tracks, but the best of the breed fall in tracks like `Just Be a Man About It' or even better yet `You Mean the World to Me', classic R&B staples that stand the test of time and still prove to be great songs even today. Speaking of classics there is the blisteringly beautiful `I Don't Want To' a song that defines everything that makes Toni Braxton an R&B legend.
There are also two new tracks, a live track and a remix on the album. Of the two new tracks I'd probably say that `Whatchu Need' is the better. It's an up-tempo Hip-Hop track that delivers. `The Little Things' is a good ballad but it sounds too familiar, like she's sung it before. `Seven Whole Days' is the live track and it still sounds wonderful (it was probably mastered) so kudos for that. `Un-Break My Heart, the Soul-Hex Anthem Radio Mix' is atrocious though. I hate to say that about anything Braxton but I abhor remixes of this nature. They completely ruin the song trying to make a techno club heavy track.
That one snafu aside though and you have a wonderful little collection of an R&B goddesses best work; truly something worthy of your CD collection.
