Waiting to Exhale is the exception that proves the rule about mish-mash '90s soundtrack albums. Even though it features 22 different female voices, the album boasts a rare continuity because Babyface wrote or cowrote 15 of the songs and produced all 16. Moreover, the gifted R&B artist used every song to explore the film's theme of women trying to balance self-respect and romantic desire. Not only has Babyface (nee Kenny Edmonds) created a fascinating song suite, he has produced one of the best middle-of-the-road-pop, adult- contemporary albums of the decade. Mary J. Blige stakes out a claim as the new diva on the block with an astonishing performance on "Not Gon' Cry." Babyface's music and lyrics suggest a woman barely holding back a swelling flood of anger and heartache, and Blige's brilliant vocal captures both the agitation and the restraint. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2007-03-08

I really love this CD, I've been to every Best Buy in town and no one had it. I was so excited to know that Amazon had it, I order it imediately. And the prices are great.

5 out of 5 stars The Greatest R&B Soundtrack of the 90's!!!!!.......2007-02-04

"Sometimes you'll laugh and sometimes you will cry, life never tells us the whens or why's, but when you've got friends to wish you well.. You'll find the point that you will exhale, Shoop Shoop.

This amazing soundtrack which featured some of the greatest female R&B singers of the 90's showcases the raw powerful talent of not only the female artists, but the man who wrote, produced, and arranged most of the songs of the soundtack, Babyface. I recommend this album to anyone who has seen the movie or if you love R&B music that this is an album that has to be included in your music collection. Let's begin with the first song, which brings forth the passion and power of the soundtrack

1)Exhale (Shoop Shoop)- Strong opening for the song. Ms. Houstons vocals were strong. The lyrics wonderful as they portrayed the emotional drama that occured during the movie

2)Why does it hurt so bad?- Wonder why some of us are still in love with someone who has hurt us so bad. Well Babyface and Whitney want to tell you and they do so brillantly. This incredible song demonstrates why Ms. Houston is one of our greatest singers of all time.

3)Let it flow- Have Toni Braxtons Secrets album, then you alredy know about this song. Now Say lalalalala

4)Hurts Like Hell- Bow down to the Queen of Soul, Ms. Franklin. This was probably one of the best songs of the album. Ms. Franklin talks about the hurt we all go through when love turns sour and how the survivial hurts like hell

5)Sitt'in in my room- At the time Brandy the soundtrack was released. Brandy was one of the youngest newcomers of the R&B scene. Although initially, I wanted Aaliyah to be on the soundtrack and wondered why she was not there, Brandy did a great job with the song, it brought a youthful approach about love and romance.

6)This is how it works- This before the fan mail CD was probabaly TLC's most provocative song out there. If your listening at work make sure to keep it at low volume.

7) Not Gon'Cry- This song totally fits the character of Angela Basset from the movie and for any woman who has been betrayed by her lover, friend, and or husband. Known to all of us, as the Queen of Hip Hop and Soul Babyface really knew what song to give Mary J. Blige and this song really showcases Mary's ability to do a variety of R&B styles not just with songs that have a Hip Hop edge to them

8)My Funny Valentine- Yes a remake of this incredible song, it can only be done by a great singer and Chaka Khan the legend that she is outdid herself immensely. Her voice was so sultry, and inviting that the song really gets you in the mood for umm some long loving....

9)And I Gave My Love to You- When I hear this song I think of soul, hip hop,and poetry.

10)All Night Long- Great song to seduce your man into getting him into the mood.

11)Wey U- Even though I did not understand the lyrics. Chante Moores voice is so great that you overlook it

12)My Love, Sweet Love- Ms. Labelle is not going to let these other girls get all the attention with this sweet song. Yes, she is going to sing nice and slow, but towards the end she is going to give us a wave of emotion which only Patti can give.

13)Kissing You- One of my favorite songs from Faith Evans. Ms. Evans at this time had just barely entered the R&B scene and Babyface knew what song to give to her really push her out to mainstream.

14)Love will be waiting at home- The last songs of the soundtrack show a variety of artists who were not really known in the music scene. For Real was an incredible R&B group that showcased great singer but sadly did not make it to mainstream

15)How could you call her baby- Want to win an agrument with your man if he is cheating. Play this song.

16)Count on Me- What do you when you feature the greatest singer of our time (Ms. Houston) and match her with one of the greatest Gospel vocalists of our time (Ms. Winans). An incredible song that talks about being there for someone you care for.

All In All this soundtrack was incredible

5 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2006-05-11

As much as I luv the move I gotta say that the soundtrack is so good! All of the Female Artists on this album really took it to another level. BUY THE ALBUM!

5 out of 5 stars This album assembles some of the greatest talent!.......2006-03-27

Babyface has done this album very well. For a writer, producer, and artist in his own right to write songs for women he must do it right and face does on this disc that has cemented his place in history.

To call this album a soundtrack is a little misleading. _Waiting to Exhale_ isn't so much a soundtrack as a compilation album that was played incessantly throughout a movie. As the music industry digs itself deeper and deeper into the hole of over-promoting singles to the point of completely eroding audience loyalty to a particular artist, the soundtrack has become a lifeline through which the major labels are attempting to increase sales by targeting tightly-focused demographics with the best they have to offer. none of that, however, does anything to detract from the awe-inspiring talent brought together for this project.

Starting from Aretha Franklin to Brandy, Chaka Khan to Mary G Blige and Patti La Belle to Whitney Houston, it bridges a gap across generations of black female singers, while showcasing the different forms that Soul Music has taken over the years.
Whitney Houston's pre-requisite contributions are gems with "Why does it hurt so bad" standing out as the crown jewel. while Toni Braxton's "Let it flow" doesn't pack the vocal Whallop of "Unbreak my heart" it does address some of the major relationship issues of the movie that it is meant to represent. Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle and Chaka Khan, of course, are flawless. Brandy and TLC add the album's only party tracks with "Sittin' up in my room" and "This is how it should be done", respectively. Mary J. Blige brings the house down with her heart-wrenching performance of "Not gon' Cry" building on the heartache of Houston and Franklin's contributions. Newcomer (During that year) Sonja Marie breaks it down with "and "I gave my love to you", establishing her as a Sade Protégé with a style all her own. SWV and Faith Evans provide rather non-descript turn-down-the-lights love jams in "All night long" and "Kissing you", respectively, while for real and Shanna show that there is a steady flow of new talent that may one day be the heavy-hitters of a similar compilation effort.

Aside from assembling some of the greatest talent in R&B, hip-hop and soul, this album is significant because it reflects the changing tide of the music industry during that time that was so long dominated by men. Though written and produced by a man, this album would not have sold nearly as well had all the contributing artist been men and, for recognizing that, _Waiting to Exhale_ is a historic album.

5 out of 5 stars Soul Diva's!.......2006-01-04

Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Patti Labelle on the same CD!? Oh and it don't stop there Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton and Chante Moore. Nope not done gospel legend Cece Winans and the soulful/pop croons of SWV, TLC, Mary J Blige and Brandy! Yes and they all do their thang.

My favorites come from the old school Diva's Aretha Franklin "It Hurts Like Hell" She works that song.

Chaka Khan "My Funny Valentime" Jazzy/Soul and Chaka puts the Chaka Spin on it too.

Patti Labelle "My Love Sweet Love" She's calm and then she does the Patti and you can just imagine her flying away.

Ofcourse Whitney holds her own and jams for us, every song she recorded on here is a hit! Mary J Blige puts that old school Aretha soul into her song and Brandy even with her limited range holds her own next to the supreme soul Diva's

This is a must have for any music lover!

This is a CD, not a book. The previous reviewer was on the wrong page, when he wrote that review.

I THINK THAT THIS IS THE SECOND BEST BOOK BY TERRY MCMILLIAN. DISAPPEARING ACTS WAS THE FIRST. THE MOVIE WAS KIND OF BETTER THAN THE BOOK BUT I STILL LOVED IT. END
