Toni
Very few people know that I have this thing for Toni Braxton. I discovered her self-titled debut album in the back of my cousin's trunk at a cookout. She had on light blue jeans and a white tank with a leather jacket with red lip, and I can't forget that short haircut that everybody rocked back in the day. This album cover screamed sex appeal in a subtle way. Although at this time I had no idea what the lyrics meant, her deep sultry voice just appealed to me. Later I could soon relate to the feelings of love and heartbreak. She was one of the most successful R&B female singers of the 90s, and I was so excited they finally did a Behind the Music special on her recently! I wish they could bring R&B music like this back. Check out this video, "How Many Ways" with Shemar Moore as Toni's love interest.
