"There are just so many times when Greatest hits records really seem to fall as a mixed bargain just for so many artists and their music. Yet, there are just very few artists that not only deserve a very well put collection, they have the voice that should surpass that notion. Toni Braxton is just one of those acts. She has been recognized as a great songbird, that can really sing some great R&B songs, that have just moved so many people. Yet, there aren't that many people right now that are interested in her sensual voice, for others just into Ashanti and Beyonce to name a few. Still, there have been some remarkable songs she has recorded.



Breathe Again: Toni Braxton at Her Best is the second hits compilation released from her catalog in 2005. The first was her adequate remix collection. This compilation consists of 10 of her best tracks. However, some might consider this as a mixed consideration for a good purchase. The songs include such greats from Toni like her big smash Un-Break My Heart, You Mean The World To Me, Breathe Again, the #1 hit You're Makin' Me High, and the seductive Spanish Guitar. The compilation is fair, considering a lot of great songs were completely overshadowded like Another Sad Love Song, He Wasn't Man Enough, Hit The Freeway, and other great songs. Instead, you get a handful of some of her lesser known tracks like Candlelight, Rock Me, Roll Me, Best Friend and Always. It may consider as a fanatic to stick with a better compilation like the 2003 Ultimate Toni Braxton.



Sadly, Breathe Again: Toni Braxton at her best doesn't seem to consider as a must have. However, for anybody who hasn't heard a lot of her good songs, it is a fair starter package. Others might just want to wait until Toni Braxton can sing another good love song.
