TONI AND BABYFACE SONGS PLUS

Take that, February 14! Let’s trace the dissolution of a relationship through Braxton and Babyface’s latest album. The lyrics? They detail a depressing journey through the cycle of a failed marriage. The music? Perfect for a romantic night in. The pair have sung together and been on tour together, and he wrote several of her hits: “ Another Sad Love Song,” “ Breathe Again,” “ You’re Makin’ Me High.” And just in time for Valentine’s Day, the two have released the album Love, Marriage & Divorce. Reid) “discovered” and signed her to LaFace Records. Toni Braxton and Babyface have a long history. Check their super cute interview on Arsenio Hall.Recording artists Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds (L) and Toni Braxton attend A Conversation with Toni Braxton and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds at The Recording Academy on Septemin Los Angeles, California. No for real, they are both divorced.īONUS: Babyface discovered Toni Braxton, back in the day. It makes me wonder if these two can’t just fall in love already. Then Babyface comes on in the second verse talking to Toni more than singing, “There are many things that will Test-Us.” Love this one, replay material. “I know we can get it back to where it was,” sings Toni in first chorus. Oh what a sweet and groovy jam! The song is about one longing for the olden good days of a relationship now gone bad. Something about the guitar chords sound like the hands of Sade’s guitar Juan Janes. How powerful is that line? If there’s something you don’t dig about your life, nobody will change it other than yourself. “If we do not like our story, we could write it just the way we want” – Toni sets the pace in the song’s opening. The guitar is lovely and exactly a continuation to Babyface’s “Every time I Close My Eyes”. I love that the ballad is stripped down and is acoustic for most of its running. At some point however, find out where it all went wrong. When you find that it’s not working for you, just move on. Sometimes, the love you give will never be enough for somebody else and vice versa. We all have been through that perfect (for a moment) relationship that ends flat on our noses, leaving us wondering – what the hell went wrong? This is the message of the song. This is it, my favourite song from the album R&B reminiscent of 90s music. 20 years ago, this is exactly how Toni and Babyface’s sound meant to unfold in the future. Tricky thing is, most times, no one really sets out to break anyone’s heart– “God knows I never meant to hurt you…” This one is for all of us we’ve been hurt in one way or another by a life experience.

This one is a good makeup sex song, plus the smooth R&B beat is for keeps, all night long.Īnyone ever realised how similar heart you and hurt you sound, yet evoke very different emotions? That’s exactly how thin the line between loving and hurting someone is. “If you really wanna fight, let’s take it to the bed tonight …” goes the chorus. Sometimes in relationships, you find that you get tired of fighting or talking or solving issues and the only way out is hopping into bed. Guess what will matter is how well you bounce after the roll has left you all dizzy and tingly. One day, you feel like you are on top of the world, another day you’re down under hurting. I was done with you, but I knew that I couldn’t love somebody else”- goes Babyface in the opening verse.” Indeed, love is a roller coaster. “Today I got so mad at you, I couldn’t control myself. Such a funky R&B beat laced with some sensual piano chords, mellow drums and a nice kick! It’s amazing how the people you love most, are the ones who will, sometimes, make you most mad. This is such a lovely intro to the album. This album is a must-have! If it doesn’t win a Grammy in the song writing category next season, it’s okay – it already won my heart. Don’t miss out on the hauntingly beautiful, lovely and poignant divorce song: “D- Word” and the well-written “Reunited.” – Back to the business of love, the duo sings. Off the album’s 11 songs, every single song is replay material. Her operatic and sensual voice comes out sweetly, cursing an ex and wishing upon him nothing but hell. Babyface’s “Hope That’s You’re Okay” is a smooth as a The Tony Rich Project modern-day tune. It must be so strong that despite Babyface and Toni having had irreconcilable label differences back in the day, they have clearly put all that behind them to collaborate in this stellar album (released Feb 2014), dedicated to the life and times of their real life personal relationships. Who doesn’t want to hear two legends of olden R&B in a joint fresh album? I guess there isn’t a feeling as strong as experiencing love, marriage or divorce. The coming as one of Toni Braxton and Babyface is such a sweet thing.
