The best treatment ever given to a Dianne Warren composition.

That or "Rhythm of the Night."
"There's No Me Without You" is one of the most gorgeous ballads ever sung. The last minute-plus, from "no, no, no-OOH!" to that shameless abrupt ending, is a vocal tour de force, damn near baroque as Braxton just owns the staff. It's so perfect it could make one forgive all those shoes.
And I love how she appropriates the sainted Impressions for her own sassy ends in "Let Me Show You The Way (Out)."

iirc the label didnt really know/care where they were going with libra and that wasn't a partic trendy cut or anything so

kinda comparable to 'pro lover' off the last usher album (though it made the final tracklist in the end) - just a great solid jam that didnt really "fit in" with the marketable sound of now

Spell My Name sounds really good. Can't tell if there's a song I'll love as much as "Long As I Live," but seems likely.

i like "dance" a lot. i know r&b stations don't do too much w/ disco nowadays but i was still surprised not to hear it more on the radio
