Longtime Toni Braxton fans are anticipating the Lifetime premiere of her biopic, Unbreak My Heart. Even with a booming reality show alongside her four singing sisters, The Braxton Family Values merely skims the surface of trials and tribulations of Toni’s ’90s stardom. The Grammy winner’s rise to fame, whirlwind romance and two-time bankruptcy woes will become clearer as well as other pressures that come along with the music industry. Known for her chart topping magic with legendary producers, “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds’, Toni was the face of love and heartbreak at LaFace Records.
Here are 11 of her hits that are bound to put you in your feelings.
1. “Where Did We Go Wrong?” ft. Babyface
The million dollar question when it’s already too late.
2. “You’re Making Me High”
Anyone else feeling some type of way as an adult discovering what she really meant after years of singing this song as a child?
3. “I Don’t Want To”
“And I don’t want to sing another love song babe. I don’t want to hum another melody.” The irony.
4. “Love Shoulda Brought You Home”
He always goes home, even if that means with someone else.
5. “He Wasn’t Man Enough for Me”
An old school way to say, “Don’t you ever get to thinking you’re irreplaceable.”
6. “Another Sad Love Song”
A title to describe much of Toni’s early catalog.
7. “Breathe Again”
Is it love or an asthma attack?
8. “Just Be a Man About it”
An entire song dedicated to the “it’s not you, it’s me” speech.
9. “Seven Whole Days”
Because seven whole nights without a call always results in a Snapped episode.
10. “How Could An Angel Break My Heart”
You gotta love ’90s imagery.
Because I too would cry if I lost a man as fine as Tyson Beckford.
Tune into Unbreak My Heart, Saturday January 23 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime.
