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.
