That quote is like a much more relatable version of the legendary Annie Lennox peice she put out on Bare.
The album is nice but it's just lacking some hits. It almost sounds concept in the way Secrets was - like she was going for a continuous vibe. I would have liked a couple of uptempo or even midtempo tracks to puncture the bedroom R&B to be honest. So definitely not as good as S&C.
"Fallin'" sounds like it should be a Mariah song.
There's also a couple of songs attempting to be modern trap songs, and I could do without really. I don't understand legacy artists trying to be current. It's not like 20 years ago when you needed to aim for radio support. Pop radio isn't going to support Toni these days anyway no matter what her musical direction. Just keep the fanz happy and give us some 90s R&B please!
"Dance" is great though and "Gotta Move On" and "Nothin'" are pretty good too.
