Toni Braxton Reaction Breathe Again (SO DRAMATIC!!!) | Empress Reacts

[@dalee72]

This is my favorite Toni Braxton song.

[@alexweiss388]

Babyface produced some of the best R&B ballads to ever exist. It's a shame that kind of music seems to be lacking in the charts nowadays.

The LEGENDARY Ms Toni Braxton ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

1994 Toni Braxton was everything

Love old school Toni so much. So smooth and soothing. I gotta listen to her first couple of albums more. She's so underrated these days. Everyone remembers Whitney, Mariah, Celine as the vocal divas of the 90s but Toni often gets forgotten to mention. Tbh i think she might be my favorite. Her music style suits me the most.

[@EmpressReacts]

Shoutout to young Toni 🔥🔥🔥

[@Marc-zi5cq]

@@EmpressReacts yess, not to mention she's gorgeous and seems like a very sweet person as well. I'mma get on Spotify and listen to her debut now haha

Agree 💯 her and Tamia, are underrated for sure.

[@slimlouis6441]

She had an impressive string of hits off her debut album.

[@EmpressReacts]

Gotta hear more!

[@tonymeehan7859]

I played this CD to death!

[@WCD199317]

This song was the second single of her self-titled album. This song was her first international hit in 1993-1994 and introduced her in Europe and the rest of the world (japan, Australia, etc.) and was her first top 5 in Billboard Hot 100 in 1993. Because she was a already know in US with few hits (Love Shoulda Brought You Home and Give U My Heart) before she released the first album and the first single ''Another Sad Love Song'' . But the worldwide discover her with this second single of the album who this song was one of her most successful singles of her career. This song was produced by Babyface, like the rest of the album. The self-titled album was very danced oriented and RnB with many ballads in this album (like ''Breathe Again'') and like very well this album with many gems like this, ''I Belong to You'' and ''Love Affair''

[@EmpressReacts]

Wow🔥🔥

[@UESide]

This album, her first, was peak Toni.

[@cleoharper1842]

With Babyface in the background just turns the song to velvet

[@darrenkane2109]

Any track Babyface is on just has that signature touch of his. He was on a roll in the 80s and 90s with nonstop fire bops 🔥 Of course, all things lead back to Madonna 😂 The following year after this was released came Madonna's song "Take a Bow", with Babyface yet again on production, writing, and background vocals. Madge's longest charting number 1 hit 💖

[@EmpressReacts]

Interesting can't wait to hear‼

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I used to Jam this album while riding in my Classic 240Z driving down PCH and into Hollywood back in the 90s! This album had SOoo many hits including the Ultimate Car Banger "Another Sad Love Song".. Babyface Produced this Album I believe.

[@veddyveddygood]

yeah my fav Toni Braxton song "Another sad love song". Just a great 90's RnB classic.

[@spackar2720]

I like to call classic Toni Braxton ballads like this "Uptown Soul". To me it sounds like, smooth, sophisticated, soul from the city, proving that attractive, successful, professionals can have the blues.

[@EmpressReacts]

nice analogy!

[@seanboulderformerlymel3000]

At the time this song was recorded, Jane Austen films were popular at the box office. This song was done in the tone of the overly dramatic Regency period characters. Some younger people aren’t being taught about the regency period or Jane Austen in school so a lot of them don’t pick up on the reference. This was her highest charting song from her debut album, but that album did not have a bad song. Just about any song from that album could’ve been released as a single.

[@kurtadams3021]

Classic soul at its finest ❤

[@anniesmolkin7685]

❤ the best song in my opinion

[@bensellers7151]

One of the very first cd's I ever bought! Loved Breathe Again, You Mean The World To Me, Seven Whole Days......damn near the whole album.

[@EmpressReacts]

Gotta hear more💯

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

Wow, I forgot how great this song is. My mother was in LOVE with this song when it came out, so I always associate it with her when I was in 7th grade. But re-listening to it, it made me fall in love with Toni's vocals all over again. We all love to praise our high belting divas (as we should), and Toni can definitely belt, but her lower register is just something else! Smooth as butter, especially in the verses. Now I wanna go back and listen again too!

[@kurtadams3021]

Another Babyface Masterpiece ❤

[@sashabertold3731]

This is the song that intoduced me to Toni together with her sweet video. If you like this you probably love the Waiting to Exhale Sountrack with so many lush gems on it. From Whitney to Toni!!! Breathe again!

[@danielderozarieux8832]

Great song. Was played all the time when it was released. And it’s a classic that stands up to today.

[@darnell49]

CLASSIC ‼️Toni Braxton + Babyface = Pure ✨ Magic Everytime. Babyface is the master of LUSH. Toni is the DRAMA QUEEN. She is so sultry. I love me some her. Almost forgot to mention that ICONIC haircut.

[@EmpressReacts]

Okay to that haircut!!!

[@blaze2001]

YESSSS Plush and lush Love Toni!!!

One of the BEST and Greatest Albums by a female, as well one of the GREATEST female Divas in the music business, which happens to be my favorite female singer alongside Whitney. TONI BRAXTON is LEGENDARY 💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💙🙏🏽

Childhood riding in the car a night coming home from grandparents house! Late night grooves! This album had so many hits and alot of them are in alot of 90s movies!

[@Joelsellers29]

Glad you liked it! I remember when this came out, I was maybe 13 or 14. I saw it first as a video, and I remember it coming on MTV. And, that was it. I loved it from that moment on, and her delicious ear candy voice.

[@Jzarecta]

Nice reaction, your so cute. Love Toni, she is amazing

[@jlu100]

Love the song and love your reaction! I played this track to death back in the day. “Another Sad Love Song” is the lead track on the album, followed immediately by this one. The 2 make for a knock out punch! Several other goodies on this album, too.👍👍

I just wanted to melt into the chair I was sitting in that day in 1993. She was on top of the world in those days. Just wouldve been nice if Babyface paid his artists better.

Dang didn’t know he was ripping people off

@@EmpressReacts He wasn't in singular company. Pebbles, LA Reid and a few others took advantage of artists in the 90s who sold tremendous amounts of records.
