Title: Huge Disappointment
Review: I am a HUGE Toni Braxton fan and had very high expectations for this long overdue album. Man was I disappointed. Contrary to Amazon's review of the album, I find it much too dance oriented and unmelodic. Secrets was a GORGEOUS album, whereas The Heat barely displays beauty. In addition, this album relies far too much on background vocals, by actually pushing them to the point they overpower Toni's gorgeous voice. Spanish Guitar has so much promise, but is ultimately mired by backing vocals that don't match the genre. They sound like they would be more at home on an Osmond Brothers album. Like Mariha Carey, I wish Toni would do a stripped down album with no vocal pyrotechnics or backup singers. Don't waste your money. I give this two stars primarily for what I think are the two "best" tracks: "He Wasn't Man Enough," and "Spanish Guitar."
Is the review positive or negative?
