Soul singer Toni Braxton is best known for her smooth and sultry singing voice. The former first lady of LaFace records rose to fame immediately after the release of her self-titled debut album in 1993. Braxton’s ability to convey emotions through music has helped make her career one of the most legendary of all-time, and her love songs have provided listeners with relatable music for two and a half-decades. However, while love is one of music’s most popular muses, nothing is more inspiring than a love gone wrong. Although nobody enjoys going through a break-up, they are unfortunately an inevitable part of most people’s lives, but thanks to Toni Braxton’s music, your next break-up will be that much easier. Here are Toni Braxton’s best break-up songs.
5. “Hit the Freeway”
Nothing is more helpful in dealing with a breakup than convincing yourself that everything is the other person’s fault. In “Hit the Freeway” it doesn’t take much convincing for Braxton to let readers know that she wasn’t being treated adequately in her past relationship.
4. “Another Sad Love Song”
Toni Braxton’s “Another Sad Love Song,” was the first official single from her debut album, and unlike its title suggests, the title suggests, it is much more than just another sad love song. The five-minute track takes listeners on a roller coaster ride of emotions as Braxton sings about trying to get over a relationship that keeps popping into her head every time she hears a love song on the radio.
3. “Breathe Again”
Braxton has sworn off the very act of breathing in this song about a relationship that has left immeasurable damage. Although Braxton’s promise to “never breathe again,” may seem a little extreme, listeners have gravitated towards the song since its release in the summer of 1993.
2. “Let it Flow”
“Let it Flow” takes a more positive stance on a failed relationship as Braxton reassures herself and her audience that “everything is gonna work out right.” Braxton makes it clear that sometimes relationship’s run their course and it’s better to walk away than to force something that is no longer there.
1. “Un-Break My Heart”
“Un-Break My Heart” is the most successful song of Toni Braxton’s career, and About.Com’s Mark Edward Nero called it “one of the best R&B break-up songs. Although Braxton’s broken heart was never able to be fixed, the song went on to become the most successful song by a solo artist in Billboard Top 100 history.
