Working closely with Keri Lewis, who co-wrote much of the record, she brought in a heavyweight team including Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, David Foster and songwriter Diane Warren, mixing club-ready rhythms with the velvet ballads she was famous for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpener \"He Wasn't Man Enough\" is the knockout, a skittering Darkchild production with a defiant vocal that earned Braxton a Grammy. \"Spanish Guitar\" is pure drama, a Diane Warren ballad produced by David Foster and laced with sensual guitar lines, while \"Just Be a Man About It\" plays out a messy breakup with Dr. Dre adding his voice. \"Gimme Some\" brings in Lisa \"Left Eye\" Lopes for a playful, flirtatious bounce.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat smoky contralto is the real star throughout, gliding from sultry to scorned without ever losing control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of turn-of-the-millennium R\u0026amp;B, this is Braxton at her most confident, and a double LP lets those deep, warm low notes really breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287057768753,"sku":"198029742213","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Toni_Braxton-The_Heat_2LP.jpg?v=1793727097","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/toni-braxton-the-heat-2lp","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
