About This Items

1. Secrets is the second studio album by American singer Toni Braxton, released on June 18, 1996, by LaFace Records and Arista Records. The album was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 1997 Grammy Awards. Secrets has been certified eight-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Worldwide, the album has sold over 15 million copies.

   • The album's first song "Come On Over Here" is a "finger-poppingly upbeat", sultry groove track produced by Tony Rich. It was described as "a neo-Moton composition".
   • The second track and lead single, the airily funky "You’re Makin’ Me High", was produced by Babyface and Bryce Wilson. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song.
   • The third track "There's No Me Without You" is a romantic song. 
   • The fourth track and second single "Un-Break My Heart" is a ballad written by Diane Warren. Warren played the finished song to Aristo Records president Clive Davis, who thought it would be perfect for Braxton. With background vocals by Shanice Wilson and production by David Foster, the song spent 11 weeks at number one on pop radio stations and 14 weeks at number one on adult contemporary radio in late 1996. It also won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1997. It is a song of blistering heartbreak, as Braxton sings to her former lover, begging him to return to her and undo all the pain he has caused.
   • The sixth track "How Could an Angel Break My Heart" was co-written by Babyface and Braxton and features saxophonist Kenny G. Over a "lulling" ballad melody, the lyrics detail a lover's wayward behavior. "Let “It Flow, included on the soundtrack to Waiting to Exhale, eventually became a staple of urban contemporary. The song is a sultry tune that requires the singer to reach down to her lowest register. On "Why Should I Care", Braxton ascends to a high, breathy croon, while on "I Don’t Want To”, R. Kelly provides the soft bump-and-grind sound, in a song about a romance in denial, and “I Love Me Some Him" was written by Andrea Martin and Gloria Stewart and produced by Soulshock & Karlin.
