The perfect matchup of singer, song, and producer is a wondrous thing, and no more so in the producer-driven realm of black pop. Such a wonderful moment was the debut from Toni Braxton who, in Kenneth Babyface Edmonds, had an uber lord who tapped into the dark yet radio-friendly recess of her soul. Braxton gives nobility to heartbreak with classics like "Breathe Again." Her debut remains one of the best of the '90s. --Amy Linden

Fantastic CD.......2007-05-19
Love, love, love this CD. It has mostly every hot hit Toni Braxton made. If you buy no other Toni Braxton CD, you'll be very satisfied with owning this one. This CD hasn't moved from my car CD player since I first played it.
I do have one observation. Almost every song is about a man messing up. It seems to be the theme throughout this CD, and listening to song after song about heartache and pain can get a little much after a while. But with Toni's voice, she can sing about anything she wants and I'll listen because she can even make heartache sound good.
denlan.......2007-02-04
This CD is good but she is the tipical recording artist with the voice fixed mecanically in studio. I saw her in Las Vegas january 26 2007 and she has no voice at all. She fools around with the crowd half of the show without singing (She loves her body) and when she sings we hear only scattered sounds covered by the band.Her background singers (her two sisters) have a lot more better voice than her's. I saw a lot of shows in Las Vegas, it's the worst. I saw Celine Dion and Tom Jones and beleive me the are not in the same league, wow, they have the voice.
I Love me some Her!.......2006-05-26
So it has everything you could want, minus a few but with so many hits your bound to get screwed somewhere...BUT, the point is that what is included is just what we want. Great ballads like 'Un-Break My Heart', 'I Don't Want To' and 'Another Sad Love Song' are here beside dance numbers like the steamy 'You're Makin' Me High' and 'He Wasn't Man Enough'. Toss in some great old school tracks like 'Breathe Again' (still love that song) and 'Give You My Heart', some more recent tracks like 'I Love me Some Hime' and 'Hit The Freeway' and then add some brand new songs (the only good one being 'Whatchu Need' since 'The Little Things' sounds too much like 'Another Sad Love Song') and you have a hit maker...now I will say that the dance remix of 'Un-Break My Heart' rapes the song of all heart and soul but whats one drawback to a bag od success? Great album.
Full track list is as follows:
1. Give U My Heart 5/5
2. Love Shoulda Brought You Home 4/5
3. Another Sad Love Song 5/5
4. Breathe Again 5/5
5. Seven Whole Days (Live) 4/5
6. You Mean The World To Me 5/5
7. How Many Ways 4/5
8. You're Makin' Me High 10/5
9. Let It Flow 3/5
10. Un-Break My Heart 5/5
11. I Love Me Some Him 5/5
12. I Don't Want To 5/5
13. He Wasn't Man Enough 5/5
14. Just Be A Man About It 4/5
15. Hit The Freeway 5/5
16. Whatchu Need 5/5
17. The Little Things 2/5
18. Un-Break My Heart (Soul-Hex Anthem Radio Edit) 0/5
Great collection from an R&B songstress!.......2006-02-22
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.
Toni and her soulful voice.......2005-12-11
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.

Toni Braxton is a true superstar.......2007-07-17
What can I say about this album? One word: exciting. Every track is pleasing to the ears. My favorite song on this album would have to be Breathe Again. Toni is truly a star, and I don't think many singers that are out right now can mess with Toni.
Toni hit on all cylinders with this album!!!.......2007-02-13
Toni,was NOT,ashamed,to show,that,it is not a crime,for a woman to show hurt,for being betrayed,by a lover...Most women today,think that it's the mark of a "weak"woman,to,admit to being hurt,by this heartless,act!!Everyone knows'that women,are creatures'of sheer emotion...Yet,the prevailent thought,among,"tough"women,is that NO man,could cause them emotional distress,under ANY circumstances!!With songs'such as "7 Whole Days"and "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"Toni basically says'"Hogwash"to that(silly)train of thought!! Toni expertly navigates'the razor-thin line,between,total emotional devastation/despair,and bravery,with a tinge of anger...(when one realizes'that it's NOT,the end of the world)...Toni,exudes'RAW emotion,in conveying this!! On"Love Affair"Toni lets'us know,that she's not gonna be some dudes'little side"trick"..She cites'that she couldn't respect herself,if she did that!! It,would behoove,a lot of young ladies',to listen carefully,to the lyrics'of this track!!Theres definitely something to be learned here!!!"Best Friend" touches'on how fickle,"friends"(as well as lovers')can be!!One can clearly see that Toni has experienced a lot,in her life,simply by noting,the various topics'she addresses,on this masterpiece,of an album,as well as the sincere PASSION,she exhibits',in the vocals'on this album!!Toni,gets madd props'from me,for this album,because,I've experienced,most of these dilemmas'firsthand,so,I know EXACTLY,where shes' coming from,on each subject!!Excellent vocals'+True-to-life subject- matter=5 star album!!'Nuff Said!!
CD Yes! Live Singing No!.......2006-11-09
After seeing Toni's show in my hometown Las Vegas,I was truly disappointed. Toni's album is very good. She leaves her personal problems out. However, her voice and personal problems were brought out too abruptly at the show!
Toni Braxton's Greatest Album.......2006-06-29
This woman had it really going on her debut! Toni Braxton, born in Maryland on October 7, 1966, is a six-time Grammy award winner. She released her self-titled debut in 1992. She won all six of those grammies for this one album, including Best New Artist! Her debut went to sell 8 million copies in the United States and 10 million worldwide! Also, it stayed #1 for 2 weeks.
The great songs of this album include "Breathe Again," "Seven Whole Days," and "Love Shoulda Brought You Home Last Night," which made it to the Boomerang Soundtrack. The other songs that topped the Billboard charts are "How Many Ways," and "You Mean The World To Me."
Now that you know about this album, you should go get it!
Toni the Hottie.......2006-06-07
I dont remember when Toni first released her debut album. I think it was about 10 years ago. I was mesmerised by her looks, voice and the songs she sang. Every song is sung with a deep feeling. At times she reminds me of Whitney Houston. You mean the world to me, Another sad love song and Breath again are my favorites. I havent heard the rest of the album though. Try it if you wish to.

Classy soul.......2007-07-16
Babyface, you should be ashamed for what you did to this girl! So classy, and what did you get out of it?! You lost her and ended up with Kenny G. Nice going. Oh yeah, you did end up running a huge record company, but still...
Breathing Again.......2007-02-20
When it comes to R&B music in the industry right now, it seems to really be more about acts that are trying to really be more pop-oriented, rather than the real feeling of traditional R&B. That is sad, considering acts like Ashnati, Ciara and Beyonce', really miss out on the simple Soul style that has been constantly overlooked. That also within the past few years also could be said about Toni Braxton. Although she has made incredible music for nearly 15 years now, her era has been overshadowed with financial burdens from bankruptcy, and a recent fallout with her ex-manager Barry Hankerson. Yet, it is just too easy to forget how simple and beautiful her voice have remained, and why her silky-smooth style hasn't lost its luster. Yet, these past few years, there have been several hits records released reflecting her music, and now another one just doesn't want to break hearts.
The 2007 Essential Toni Braxton, is a double-album reflecting her highs and lows, and why her voice has remained relevant in R&B after all this time. This is a compilation that does a very good job reflecting her era from LaFace and Arista throughout the 90's and early 2000's. There are a lot of great tracks here that are highlighted including the #1 smash Un-Break My Heart, Breathe Again, the seductive You're Makin' Me High, the soulful and elquent How Could An Angel Break My Heart, and He Wasn't Man Enough. The compilation also includes a couple of new tracks as well like Good Life, a track that Toni original released as a demo with her sisters, The Braxtons back in 1990, as well as The Time Of Our Lives, a song she recorded for the 2006 World Cup. Yet, although there are numerous highlights here, there are a couple of disadvantages here on this hits compilation. The first disadvantage is that there are several tracks here that were remixed instead of their original versions like How Many Ways, and the seductive Diane Warren penned Spanish Guitar. The other surprise is that the album also overlooks a few good tracks like her last hit Please from her 2005 record Libra.
All in all, The Essential Toni Braxton still remains as a solid hits package that will bring out not just die hard fans, but also newcomers how haven't yet heard her beautiful songs. Even though a lot of people aren't as interested in her, I still find her voice lovely, and I think this hits package does go a long way, and it is why love has brought her home.

Well, it is a La Face record, so of course it has the Babyface stamp all over it--especially on "Let It Flow," also featured on his Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, and "There's No Me Without You." 'Face does step aside, however, to give other producers, songwriters, and artists their time with Miss Braxton, most notably R. Kelly, Diane Warren, Tony Rich, and Kenny G. R&B songbirds in their own right, Shanice Wilson and Chante Moore even show up on backing vocals. The album doesn't quite live up to this overdose of talent; it's too crammed with boring ballads (even if Braxton's low, husky vocals are perfectly suited for them, especially the wrenching watermark of the album, "Un-Break My Heart"). It's when she slips into a sultry groove on "Come On Over Here" and the smash single "You're Makin Me High" that she really shines. --Rebecca Wallwork
Customer Reviews:
Boring CD.......2007-06-04
There is only one really good song, "Un-break my heart", which warms my heart with the sadness of the emotions of this song. The other song I can stand is "How could an angel break my heart", but the rest of the songs are not good in any way. Boring music, no melodies, they sound really rushed.
The good old days A... Toni.......2007-05-20
Everyone knows of Toni Braxton and this cd was one of the reasons why.
amazing r&b/jazzy/soft rock album.......2006-12-31
I bought this album sometime after Unbreak My Heart was released, I was about 13. I thought it was one of the best albums I owned and it's aged really nicely too. I still listen to it time to time when relaxing. She may have played it safe with her sophomore album by working with hot r&b producers like babyface, r.kelly and tony rich, but it really works. The ballads are beautiful and smoky hot and her voice blends into the music so beautifully. A lot of singles were released from this album from 1996 through 1997, some of which were just released to radio while others had music videos. I remember her getting a lot of billboard, ama and grammy awards at the time in her revealing dresses, and her being the talk of the award shows the next day at school. Another memory is the remix of you're making me high that had a reggae/hip hop vibe to it. Just be warned that this CD doesn't really have any fast tracks, it's mostly soft, jazzy r&b ballads.
still the best.......2006-03-10
after 10 years on release secrets still is one of my fav albums.I brought this album when i was ten ( YEAH A LIL DEEP FOR A TEN YEAR OLD BUT HEY THATS ME) now im all grown up i can appreicate this album for what it is ,a magnificent collection of pure bliss.Toni's voice is rich and emotive while the music is what truly makes this album one of the greatest ,melodic ,seductive and sexy bests. evey track just flows .The best tracks for me are let if flow love the guitar arragement,i love me some him,theres no me without you,find me a man and the timeless beauty that is how could an angel break my heart.Lovely saxaphone from kenny g flawless songwriting from babyface (one of my favs) and the beautiful voice of toni .
what i love about toni is the way she pronounces every single letter of the lyrics she sings so amazingly.Toni might be on album number 5 but this will always be her higest moment .x
Romantic & Relaxing.......2006-03-04
This is one of her best albums in my opinion, and I have 8 of her albums. If you're into her upbeat and fast tracks, then I wouldn't recommend this one. This one is very romantic and relaxing.

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
Customer Reviews:
Toni's Changed Her Style, But Still Good.......2007-03-16
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.
..........2006-12-04
I was reluctant to bring this out of the vaults, because I remember how everybody said this album was terrible. I guess I took their opinion as mine and just forgot about this album. But when I finally started listening, I was pleasantly surprised. No, this is not another Secrets or even her debut album, but it is still very good. She manages to keep her old style while still incorporating new ideas. There are a few minor missteps, and "The Art of Love" should have just been left off completely, but the rest is quality. It makes me sad that she went from this to More Than A Woman...
The voice speaks for itself. . . ........2006-09-06
Like a great many Black female R&B vocalists these days, Toni Braxton can't seem to keep enough of her clothes on (see Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson). Braxton is now approaching 40 and it's almost as if she--like Carey and Jackson--doesn't trust her voice or music enough to stand on its own without that tired marketing gimmick of skin-baring (one of the sexiest photos of her was the back cover of her debut album, a stunning shot of her tastefully dressed in a simple yet elegant black mini-dress, her hair stylishly cropped) . Fortunately, "The Heat" proves that Braxton can still sizzle if given the right material. To be sure, the CD has more than its share of filler material, but when Braxton is on, she's great! For me, the highlights included the title track, the feisty uptempo "He wasn't man enough," the Babyface-inspired "Fairytale," "Just be a Man About It" (in which she offers an indignant call-and-response to a wayward Dr. Dre) and the tongue-twisting "Maybe." I also loved the pulsating groove of "The Art of Love," a song that is about as steamy and sexy as an instrumental can get. I hope Braxton is around for the long haul, but someone should tell her (maybe her husband?) that there is nothing more sexy than the imagination--something you can't literally see. She should leave the striptease act to non-singers like Britney Spears. Braxton's voice is more than enough to satisfy. . . .
BAD.......2006-03-24
SHE ISN'T A GOOD VOCALIST, THIS CD IS A WASTE OF MONEY, BUY INTO SOMEONE GOOD. I'D RATHER BUY COUNTRY WESTERN MUSIC.
The heat that grows on you.......2005-10-27
"The Heat" is Toni's best album, with more mid-tempo songs than her last one, it's my favorite album. There's people who thinks that Hip-Hop doesn't go with her, but everyone has the freedom of taste new sounds, and this was her case.
This 3rd album was Toni's transition into a Gangsta R&B, saddly many fans and Toni herself said that it isn't her style... Anyway, if I liked it that's my business, don't you think so?
The lead single "He Wasn't Man Enough" (produced by Rodney Jerkins) was a hit; saddly the other singles only had moderate success. "Gimme some" and "Speaking in tongues" deserved to be commercially released.
HE WASN'T MAN ENOUGH +5/5
The song that started it all, I remember it when I was on the 7th grade
THE HEAT 4/5
The main title of the album, it's cool
SPANISH GUITAR +5/5
...Me gustar?a tenerte en mis brazos amor...
JUST BE A MAN ABOUT IT Featuring Dr. Dre +5/5
I love it. It grew on me
GIMME SOME Featuring Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC +5/5
Featuring some rhymes by her, the song is one of the bests of the album
I'M STILL BREATHING 5/5
It grows on you, beautiful lyrics courtesy of Dianne Warren
FAIRY TALE +5/5
That's another highlight. Grew on me
THE ART OF LOVE +5/5
A semi-instrumental track, like Madonna's "Justify my love"

MAYBE +5/5
Amazing song, it grew on me too
YOU'VE BEEN WRONG 3/5
This song is weak, a bit odious too
NEVER JUST FOR A RING 4/5

It's worth it for "Give U My Heart".......2007-02-08
The first track seems to be hard to find anywhere else but here, and so for the wonderful songwriting talents of Babyface, the album was worth its secondhand purchase price.
The other songs are listenable, but not exceptional.
Boomerang is still #1.......2006-03-21
This is my message to everyone who does not own Boomerang the Soundtrack or the movie; PLEASE GO AND PURCHASE THEM. This movie is a classic and the CD. The funniest song is by Grace Jones, she makes me laugh like crazy, but her lyrics go along with the movie itself. Listen to "Reversal of a Dog", which talks about how Eddie Murphy was dogged out or what is called reversal of another dog whom is Robin Givens. The most romantic songs are by Johnny Gill called "There U Go" and by Keith Washington called "Tonight is Right". This is just some beautiful music! I had both the movie and the soundtrack on what we consider modern day recording VHS and cassette tape. I replaced them with DVD and CD. You know the strangest thing that I realized with the movie itself is the fact that the way they dressed back then or for that particular movie is kind of how some of us still dress for our corporate jobs or to go out on a date in 2006. Some folks are still rockin' Halle Berry's signature haircut, sporting the Robin Givens type hairstyle or hair weave, the tailored fitted business suits. Funny! Enjoy that movie and its CD, they are must haves for your your collection. Can you believe that Boomerang came out in 1992, wow that was about 14 years ago. Amazing!
Grace Jones at her best, vocally. .......2006-03-09
This soundtrack is somewhat mediocre. Most of the songs are typical r'n'b cuts, but unfortunately, the album overall fails. Toni Braxton wasn't a star yet, Boys II Men hit it big time with "End of the Road" and Grace Jones' "7 Day Weekend" remains the highlight of the entire album. Most of the songs are boring, except Braxton's and Jones' tracks there really isn't much to shout hooray for. Mediocre at best.
Sticking to the Script!!!.......2005-05-23
This was the era of conceptual soundtracks. Once you hear the selections you instantly remember the movie itself. The music and songwriting is so infectious, due to the combination of great artist such as Babyface, Toni, Keith Washington, BoyzIIMen, and sticking to the emotions of the script.
The cohesiveness of Face and Toni Braxton starts this disc off very strong with the feel good upbeat "Give U My Heart" (sexy & submissive).
"Tonight Is Right" had every guy working on getting their sound system real sweet at home and tweaking the lights perfectly to woo that lady just as vintage Eddie Murphy has done in the flick.
The airy "I'd Die Without You" is phenomenal while "End Of The Road" is probably the biggest slow jam of the early 90's. It was the classic end of the night song at the skating rink (couples only-backwards skating).
The sensual "Feels Like Heaven" is very hot, yet another classic slow jam tape essential. Newcomer Toni Braxton puts it down on "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", the performance was very seasoned. It portrayed so much conviction reminding us that the things that we have right at home . . . most often are the best things (especially if Halle lives there).
As a real boomerang's flight comes back full circle, I hope that our music someday return back to its moments of truth (Music with substance). Until then I feel good that I can always select the Boomerang soundtrack in itunes and reminisce on those days.
A must-have CD for music lovers of 90's R&B
Great Soundtrack. Great movie!.......2005-03-05
This is the only way to get PM Dawn's "I'd Die Without You" single. I'm glad Im not the only person that loved that track!!! Played very little in the movie, but I play it a lot at home!

Toni Braxton delivers Libra nearly a decade after she busted up the R&B landscape with her gut-wrenching appeal, on 1996's Secrets, that a wayward lover un-break her heart. Back then, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds was helming her records, and with his sound came a certain spun-silk smooth, wistful sensibility. Braxton may have been one of his better students, but Babyface's sound didn't hold up (for proof, check his own 2005 disc, Grown & Sexy). Where some breathy, smoky-voiced sirens might have called it a day, scampering off into career obscurity with their six Grammys in tow, Braxton resists the temptation to quit or to satiate the faithful with a yawny record; Libra, more than just a vehicle for evolving, adapting, and overcoming, is among the freshest, most tastefully done R&B discs to come out in 2005. Highlights belong strictly to the first half, with opener "Please" swinging wide the door for what will universally be recognized as this disc's two best tracks: "Trippin' (That's the Way Love Works)" belongs to that oft-strived-for league of songs that merit the tag "irresistible," and "Take this Ring," with its blaxploitation-film soundtrack effects, splices in just enough funk--and the right kind--to fuel a thousand replays. --Tammy La Gorce
Customer Reviews:
Good Job.......2007-04-24
I got this CD from my best friend who is a die hard Toni B fan. I didn't listen to it until a few weeks ago and I am very much into it. It is very good. I love " What's Good" and "Please". Although it is missing that big hit like "Just be a man about it" or "Unbreak my heart", it still is holding its own.
Once again, I blame the record company for not putting money or promotion/publicity behind this CD. I think it would have definitely been a huge success for her.
I hear that her Vegas show is doing well. You go Toni!
Solid...But Not Flawless.......2007-02-23
This effort put out by Ms.Braxton was a solid album but the album was too short. Blackground could've not been cheap and throw in Toni's usually 12 tracks. None the less the best songs are the ballads. "Take This Ring" produced by Rich Harrison sounds like it belongs on an Amerie album. His stuff sounds pretty much the same and that doesn't fit Toni's signature style. The best cuts are "Please", "Trippin", "Midnite", "Stupid", and "S'posed". The album worth a listen. Good effort!
Highly recommended!.......2006-12-15
Toni Michelle Braxton is an all-American success story. The eldest of six children born to a Maryland clergyman, she started out singing in choir of her father's church. But, her wonderful smoky, smooth and deep contralto voice could not stay hidden for long. The rest, as they say, is history.
This wonderful album contains ten great Toni Braxton tunes including some favorites of mine - What's Good, I Wanna Be, and Stupid. Yeah, this is a great album, with a lot of really great tunes on it. If you like great music, then you will love this album. I highly recommend it!
Nice Effort.......2006-12-15
This is a nice CD from Toni. However, it is a little too short. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed this CD.
Great album, but a word to the wise..........2006-08-28
.....DO NOT buy the regular US release of Libra! Spend the extra money and buy the german import from edel records (yes, amazon sells that version). The import has 3 more songs than the US version, and if you buy the US version you only get ten songs (how cheap of Blackground, huh!?). And the 3 bonus songs on the import version are fantastic.

disappointing.......2007-05-14
Where is "Seven Whole Days"? The charm of the original "Spanish Guitar" is utterly lacking on this dance remix.
Highly recommended!.......2006-12-09

Good value purchase for Toni's music.......2006-06-30
This is a good value purchase of Toni Braxton's songs. This is for anyone who might not get through 75 minutes of Ultimate Toni Braxton from 2003, but might go through 45-50 minutes of this one. This album is different for that includes a few remixes, sometimes dance-related, of the hits, instead of the same 12 sad love song ballads that she's well known for. Instead, the handlers make it more fun and upbeat in most cases instead of downbeat and sad. But familiar hits like Another Sad Love Song, He Wasn't Man Enough, Breathe Again, Unbreak My Heart and others are found here. Braxton still is out there with her latest effort Libra, but this collection recalls what made her a star in the first place.
A great collection.......2005-06-23
This Platinum And Gold Collection is a must own for Toni Braxton fans. She is one of my favorite female musicians but I have one problem with her, She can really sound MANNISH at times. This cd has 12 of her greatest hits and is a really good collection
1. Another sad love song 10/10 A great song
2. Breathe Again - 10/10 classic song about suicide
3. How could an angel break my heart 10/10
4. I belong to you 10/10
5. You mean the world to me 10/10
6. Un-Break my heart 10/10 Probably her biggest hit to date
7. How many ways 7/10
8. he wasn't man enough 5/10 I love the lyrics but she Sounds really MANNISH in this song
9. Maybe 5/10
10. A better man 7/10
11. Hit the freeway 7/10
12. Spanish Guitar 8/10
PS Ms Braxton : Your sister Towanda (from the daytime reality series "Starting Over") should have a record deal. She can sing too. Hook your sister up!
Decent collection.......2004-10-22
I guess I am one of the rare few who likes budget compilations. Both the 20th Century Millennium and Platinum and Gold Collections are enjoyable because they are concise and feature excellent remastering.
This 12 track collection features some of Toni Braxton's biggest hits ("Breathe Again", "Unbreak My Heart") and misses ("Hit the Freeway", "Spanish Guitar"). Overall the selection is solid, although the addition of "You're Making Me High" would have made this a perfect collection, but Braxton is one of R&B's finest singers and this collection is further proof that her voice is missed on radio.
It's worth mentioning that "How Could An Angel Break My Heart", "Maybe" and "Spanish Guitar" are featured here in remix format, making this a good listen for both Braxton diehard and casual fans.

Breaking singer Toni Braxton's heart is just not advisable. Whether she's writing about her own anguish or interpreting someone else's, Braxton has a way of cutting straight to the soul. It's why her signature hit, "Un-Break my Heart," was a smash, and why More Than a Woman is such a terrific album. She's angry, and she's skilled enough in R&B, pop, and soul to madly exorcise those demons. The soaring and sassy he-done-me-wrong lament "Lies, Lies, Lies"--its chorus powered by thickly layered vocals--is utterly irresistible. "Give It Back" similarly scolds a cad caught stepping out on our gal. Braxton also finds success in happiness: the lilting, Spanish-flavored "Me & My Boyfriend" is a joyful ode to being together, while the swooning, synth-juiced "Tell Me"--despite its soft, innocuous exterior--finds Braxton seducing a lover by checking off her attributes (hard body, wearing a thong) while offering a private dance. Braxton's husky voice continues to make hairs stand on end. Though she's not busting down any stylistic doors on More Than a Woman, loyalists will find plenty to praise. --Kim Hughes
Customer Reviews:
Let Me show you the Way.......2007-07-03
This is one of her finest pieces in years in my opinion the heavy hip hop sound in the introductory track just presents Toni in a fresh modern (She has been around for a while) sound and look. She's great. I still consider her my top ten favorites and she still brings her A game when others came and went, some stayed a while but couldn't keep the pace. Excellent.
Not as bad as people make it out to be.......2007-02-15
A lot of people (including Toni herself) consider this TB's worst album. I'll admit that out of all of 6 albums (Not counting remix and hits albums), this one ranks at number 6 but it wasn't that bad. Her vocals were on point. Most of the lyrics were on point. More Than A Woman is not her best album but I think it is worth owning.
..........2006-11-30
The majority of these songs are relatively good ideas, but are not executed properly. While the songs are alright, they are not strong enough to stand on their own. Toni Braxton lacks ad-libbing where it is necessary to hold your attention. A song, no matter how good, is not interesting if it lasts four minutes with the same verse-chorus-verse structure without any alterations. Some of the production is out of place and the two tracks produced by Robert Smith, Brandy's ex-husband, sound way too similar, and they are not great to start with. It sounds so ridiculously Brandy, and that is just not for Toni. The best track on here is "And I Love You." It is produced by Babyface and it shows his flexibility/versitility. He is able to fit Toni's new sound while still having some of her old school melodies and harmonizing. One can only imagine how much better this album could've been if she worked more with Baby face...
2 1/2 stars, MORE than...a Woman...........2006-08-01
Right from the beginning of this LP, a Toni Braxton fan would know that she has come out of her element with her fourth musicial effort, "More Than A Woman". She strays away from the sound she is known and loved for, and goes for a different, and worse approach. I didn't like the sound she had on this album. I am used to Toni singing ballads and mid tempo love songs, not this plethora of upbeat songs. Most of the ballads on this album, though, are good. Toni can sing a ballad, thats just a given.
The irony of this album is that she is happily married to Keri Lewis of the music group Mint Condition, but this LP contains mostly breakup songs and songs about an unhappy woman. Speaking of Keri, he did a nice job producing "Tell Me". This song is an album highlight. It samples Anita Baker's hit, "Sweet Love", and actually sounds a bit like Janet Jacksons's "Funny How Time Flies". As mentioned previously, a lot of the songs have a sad feel to them. The album's first 3 songs, "Let Me Show You the Way Out", "Give It Back" and "A Better Man" are all about an oppressed woman. "Give it Back" is a bit creative, especially the chorus, but contains a weak rap from Baby from Cash Money Records. "Hit the Freeway" was the only song released from this album, but it is so not Toni. The song didn't fit this great artist. Loon performed a lackluster rap and the production was just bland and this is not a memorable track. "Lies, Lies, Lies" is quite eerie. This song has a rock feel and it is about a woman leaving her man because of his excessive lying. Again, this song does not fit Miss Toni Braxton. "Me and My Boyfriend" had no business being done three times. 2 Pac, Jay Z, and Toni have all done this song. All of the versions are weak, so I don't know why it keeps being remade. Toni's version is the worst, though. Toni let us hear her sensual side with "Rock Me, Roll Me". I particularly enjoyed the lyrical sexual undertones although the entire song is great.
Toni Braxton is not a hit and miss artist. When she come out with new material, she gives you something to remember for years after its release. This is her most lackluster work, but even it is listenable. I understand she tried something different with this, but I prefer the Toni I am used to any dsy.
Mikeisha's Top 5
1. Rock Me, Roll Me
2. Selfish
3. Tell Me
4. Hit The Freeway
5. Give it Back
Smart Decision,Bad Consequences.......2006-06-18
More Than A Woman is an okay album. Even though Toni's old style of music is a lot better than her new style, she made the right decision by going hip hop, because by doing this, she stays with the time period. Had she kept doing her old style, it would've been even harder than it is now for her to blend in with today's era of music. Hit the Freeway is a great choice for a single, because it is catchy. Me and My Boyfriend and Lies, lies, lies aren't as catchy, but have good lyrics and good beats. She also has songs like: give it back,selfish, and always that are okay, and help keep you hooked into the album.Ultimately,her album is okay.It was just hard for her to make the adjustment.

What a waste..........2007-05-24
2 Un-Break My Heart, 2 Spanish Guitar, 2 He Wasn't Man Enough and the rest are only 1 song but what happened to the other songs that wasn't in this album even after Ultimate album came out?? There are ALOT of missing songs in this album!! If I want to listen to Remixes I would listen to Mariah Carey, Madonna & other singers Remixes album because they have all the songs in their album except this one. This album has 3 songs that has the same 2 songs in it is pretty as waste!! If I want to buy 1 song with different remixes I would buy maxi-single instead of this album.
Outstanding, but..........2005-12-31
I'll say this album is off the hook, but the songs are attached and followed up, so you can't really difference when a song ends of starts. Anyway, it includes good remixes and rare ones. Some were just included in 12" singles or were never released.

this is a hot cd. i love all of the songs and the most of the mixes are pretty long. this cd's also made into a non-stop mix. my five favorites are "Un-Break My Heart(Soul Hex Anthem Mix)," "Spanish Guitar(HQ2 Mix)," "Maybe(HQ2/Dynamix Mix)," "Spanish Guitar(Joe Claussell Mix)," and "You're Makin' Me High (David Morales Mix)." i remember hearing the soul hex mix for un-break my heart many years ago on the radio and i always wanted to own it. this cd is definitely for dance lovers out there.
Remixed & Remade.......2005-09-11
She's baaaaaaack! 6-time Grammy Award-winner Toni Braxton has one of the most exciting hits package to come along in a decade. The reason being, it's not your typical greatest hits package. It's ten of the most instantly recognizable club and radio hits of Braxton's that have had a makeover so fabulous, the DJ's deserve the 2005 diva medal of honor. If only the "Fab Five" Queer Eye guys could do to television what these "Fab Six" men have done for music, they might have a longer shelf life. Question: What do Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, Peter Rauhofer and Hex Hector have in common with Toni Braxton? Answer: All of them have won Grammy Awards. Along with Junior Vasquez and Joe Claussell, these six remixers have remastered seven songs that have reached the tops of the charts. Three of the songs included have won Grammy's, 1996's "Un-Break My Heart" and 2000's "He Wasn't Man Enough" are treated to two remixes apiece, as is 2000's "Spanish Guitar," and Grammy-winner "You're Makin' Me High," "I Don't Want To Lose You," "Hit The Freeway," and "Maybe" round out the ten tracks that take you on an orgasmic journey. Five of the ten remixed tracks have never been released commercially, and "Maybe" is a previously unreleased remix. This is the definitive collection for Toni Braxton fans and a must for fans of this genre and of these sensational songs. Braxton's smokin' vocals and over an hour of bumping and thumping will certainly make you high. If this disc doesn't keep you grooving, make an appointment
with your doctor and have your pulse checked.
Pop It In and ENJOY!!!.......2005-06-11
This is a great mix of Ms. Braxton's work in the past. AND IT BEING A CONTINUOUS MIX that seems to flow like silk into each song is done very good!
The only thing "bad" about it is that Un-Break My Heart and Spanish Guitar were each used twice, but besides that, this mix should get you going. Makes me want more and more of Mrs. B with her new album coming soon!
Hit The Freeway / He Wasnt Man Enough / Youre Makin' Me High are all good ones in my opinion on this one!
4 out of 5!
