Album Spotlight: Toni Braxton - More Than A Woman

-
Toni Braxton's "More Than A Woman" is one of her least successful albums but it doesn't mean that the material here is not good. In fact Toni Braxton remains very consistent on this album as she is on any other album of hers.

"More Than A Woman" was released in late 2002 and went gold primarily off of Toni's name alone. The singles here weren't successful but still strong songs like the first single; "Hit The Freeway" featuring Loon and produced by The Neptunes. Toni would later denounce this album since it was not as successful as her others. But Toni did work with a lot of outside producers on this album like Rodney Jerkins[on "Do You Remember When"] and Irv Gotti[on "Me & My Boyfriend].

The album opens up strong with "Let Me Show You The Way(Out)" which to me should of been a single. Mannie Fresh shows up on the kiss off; "Give It Back"(which is a personal favorite). Andrea Martin[who co-wrote Melanie Fiona's "It Kills Me"] co-wrote "A Better Man" which was also a strong single contender. I think this is where this album went wrong in terms of sales. The singles that were picked were all wrong in my opinion.

Brandy co-wrote the song "Always" and Babyface produced "And I Love You". You see the variety of songwriters and collaborators here and on first look; you would think it would be overbearing but it actually works out. The songwriters and producers here present Toni with different soundscapes we're not used to hearing her on and you can definitely attest to this being Toni's most riskiest album to date.

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...
