Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Waiting to Exhale is the exception that proves the rule about mish-mash '90s soundtrack albums. Even though it features 22 different female voices, the album boasts a rare continuity because Babyface wrote or cowrote 15 of the songs and produced all 16. Moreover, the gifted R&B artist used every song to explore the film's theme of women trying to balance self-respect and romantic desire. Not only has Babyface (nee Kenny Edmonds) created a fascinating song suite, he has produced one of the best middle-of-the-road-pop, adult- contemporary albums of the decade. Mary J. Blige stakes out a claim as the new diva on the block with an astonishing performance on "Not Gon' Cry." Babyface's music and lyrics suggest a woman barely holding back a swelling flood of anger and heartache, and Blige's brilliant vocal captures both the agitation and the restraint. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Released Again.......2007-07-28

Phenominal movie and can't wait to get the soundtrack. That one song "Count on Me" explains it all for the woman who stands in need of exhaling...everytime I watch it I cry at the last scene no matter the mood. My, My, My, My, My...Bought a copy for my sista girl.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite soundtrack albums of all time.......2007-07-13

First, there was the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Interesting. Then, some eighteen years later, Waiting to Exhale soundtrack. MARVELOUS. Simply marvelous. Every song on this album is pleasing to the ears. One of my favorites would have to be My Love, Sweet Love, by Patti Labelle. The other one would have to be Count on Me, by Whitney Houston, and Cece Winans. This soundtrack album definitely helps me out, especially when I am having one of those bad days. Or whenever I am in a sensual, yet excited mood. A must have album for all women.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-03-08

I really love this CD, I've been to every Best Buy in town and no one had it. I was so excited to know that Amazon had it, I order it imediately. And the prices are great.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest R&B Soundtrack of the 90's!!!!!.......2007-02-04

"Sometimes you'll laugh and sometimes you will cry, life never tells us the whens or why's, but when you've got friends to wish you well.. You'll find the point that you will exhale, Shoop Shoop.

This amazing soundtrack which featured some of the greatest female R&B singers of the 90's showcases the raw powerful talent of not only the female artists, but the man who wrote, produced, and arranged most of the songs of the soundtack, Babyface. I recommend this album to anyone who has seen the movie or if you love R&B music that this is an album that has to be included in your music collection. Let's begin with the first song, which brings forth the passion and power of the soundtrack

1)Exhale (Shoop Shoop)- Strong opening for the song. Ms. Houstons vocals were strong. The lyrics wonderful as they portrayed the emotional drama that occured during the movie

2)Why does it hurt so bad?- Wonder why some of us are still in love with someone who has hurt us so bad. Well Babyface and Whitney want to tell you and they do so brillantly. This incredible song demonstrates why Ms. Houston is one of our greatest singers of all time.

3)Let it flow- Have Toni Braxtons Secrets album, then you alredy know about this song. Now Say lalalalala

4)Hurts Like Hell- Bow down to the Queen of Soul, Ms. Franklin. This was probably one of the best songs of the album. Ms. Franklin talks about the hurt we all go through when love turns sour and how the survivial hurts like hell

5)Sitt'in in my room- At the time Brandy the soundtrack was released. Brandy was one of the youngest newcomers of the R&B scene. Although initially, I wanted Aaliyah to be on the soundtrack and wondered why she was not there, Brandy did a great job with the song, it brought a youthful approach about love and romance.

6)This is how it works- This before the fan mail CD was probabaly TLC's most provocative song out there. If your listening at work make sure to keep it at low volume.

7) Not Gon'Cry- This song totally fits the character of Angela Basset from the movie and for any woman who has been betrayed by her lover, friend, and or husband. Known to all of us, as the Queen of Hip Hop and Soul Babyface really knew what song to give Mary J. Blige and this song really showcases Mary's ability to do a variety of R&B styles not just with songs that have a Hip Hop edge to them

8)My Funny Valentine- Yes a remake of this incredible song, it can only be done by a great singer and Chaka Khan the legend that she is outdid herself immensely. Her voice was so sultry, and inviting that the song really gets you in the mood for umm some long loving....

9)And I Gave My Love to You- When I hear this song I think of soul, hip hop,and poetry.

10)All Night Long- Great song to seduce your man into getting him into the mood.

11)Wey U- Even though I did not understand the lyrics. Chante Moores voice is so great that you overlook it

12)My Love, Sweet Love- Ms. Labelle is not going to let these other girls get all the attention with this sweet song. Yes, she is going to sing nice and slow, but towards the end she is going to give us a wave of emotion which only Patti can give.

13)Kissing You- One of my favorite songs from Faith Evans. Ms. Evans at this time had just barely entered the R&B scene and Babyface knew what song to give to her really push her out to mainstream.

14)Love will be waiting at home- The last songs of the soundtrack show a variety of artists who were not really known in the music scene. For Real was an incredible R&B group that showcased great singer but sadly did not make it to mainstream

15)How could you call her baby- Want to win an agrument with your man if he is cheating. Play this song.

16)Count on Me- What do you when you feature the greatest singer of our time (Ms. Houston) and match her with one of the greatest Gospel vocalists of our time (Ms. Winans). An incredible song that talks about being there for someone you care for.

All In All this soundtrack was incredible

5 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2006-05-11

As much as I luv the move I gotta say that the soundtrack is so good! All of the Female Artists on this album really took it to another level. BUY THE ALBUM!
