Album Spotlight: Toni Braxton - The Heat

-
It wasn't very long when I featured another Toni Braxton album; 'Secrets' here but Toni's music catalog is so consistent; it warrants her; her second album spotlight feature.

Toni Braxton had a few rough years after the success of 'Secrets'. She would file bankruptcy and had a huge falling out with LaFace Records. For a time it was looking like Toni would never get it together. But you can't count anyone out.

Released in the fall of 2000; Toni Braxton released 'The Heat' to much fanfare and the hit single; 'He Wasn't Man Enough' which featured Robin Givens in the video. Toni obviously had a lot to get off her chest about men as her second single; 'Just Be A Man About It' featured Dr. Dre. Talk about a comeback!

I just like the feel of the record. The title track 'The Heat' is full of summery energy and is very catchy. 'Gimme Some' is another favorite of mine and it features Left Eye. 'Speaking In Tongues' is another song I like and a perfect slow jam written by Toni herself.

This goes down as another solid album by Toni Braxton. You definitely should check it out if you haven't already.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record...
