Customer Reviews

Great film with an okay sountrack
That being said, there are a few standout tracks:

Babyface/Toni Braxton with "Give You My Heart" was one of Toni's first major appearances on the national scene. I've heard better from both artist but this track is significant for that reason alone. My favorites from this soundtrack was Aaron Hall/Charlie Wilson's "Everything Is Going To Be Alright", Johnny Gill's "There You Go", "Reversal Of A Dog" with Highland Place Mobsters & a very young TLC and "Feels Like Heaven" from Kenny Vaughan & 'The Art Of Love'. I think that BoyzIIMen's famous song "End Of The Road" & "Hot Sex" from A Tribe Called Quest is here as well.

The rest of the soundtrack was listenable but nothing that sticks out. The music I named is what I remember best. Overall, it does bring back feelings from my last days of high school and that summer going into college. Its actually 5 stars for the nostalgia but the actual CD gets a 3 star rating. Still worth it though if you were a fan of New Jack Swing or want to know what it was like back in the late 80's to early 90's.

Worth a look if only for the Johnny Gill track..........
The soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy movie (which I loved) is a very mixed set, which has one moment of pure quiet storm bliss. Whilst she had her moments as a solo performer, (please see her album Toni Braxton this song is ok, nothing more. 'It's Gonna Be Alright' a duet between those two power house vocalists, Aaron Hall, and Charlie Wilson, is not a good vehicle to showcase their talents. Things pick up with the Keith Washington 'Tonight is Right' (also check out his excellent debut CD Make Time for Love. The less said about PM Dawn the better (very weak) and the Grace Jones offering. 'End of the Road', was a massive hit for Boyz to Men, which still gets airplay today, but I found it too sweet for my liking. I loved the funky' Reversal of a Dog, featuring Left Eye of TLC, and Dallas Austin's group (Highland Place Mob, I think)
Toni Braxton second offering 'Love Should've Brought You Home', was a anthem for dogged women the world over, and was a minor hit for the artist. BUT I brought this on the strength of ONE song. 'There you Go;, the LA/Babyface penned & produced track, is a MUST have for any lover of quiet storm moments. Even now, 15 years later, I can remember when my Boy in my local record shop played this for me. After that I didn't listen to the rest of the CD that was enough for me. The only other hot track on here is Hot Sex', by A Tribe Called Quest. Ruff. All in all a mixed bag, with one jewel included.

It's worth it for "Give U My Heart"
The first track seems to be hard to find anywhere else but here, and so for the wonderful songwriting talents of Babyface, the album was worth its secondhand purchase price.

The other songs are listenable, but not exceptional.
