Background and composition [edit]

After the success of the previous unmarried, "Another Sad Love Song", "Breathe Once more" was released every bit the 2nd official single from Toni Braxton's self-titled anthology, on August vi, 1993. "Breathe Again" was written and produced by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, with co-production being handled by Daryl Simmons and L.A. Reid.[1] Lyrically, in "Breathe Again", Braxton would crumble and accept a nervous breakdown if her fellow were to break upwards with her, singing, "If I never feel yous in my arms once again/If I never feel your tender kiss over again/If I never hear I dear y'all now and and then/Will I never make love to y'all once again/Please understand/If beloved ends/And so I promise you, I hope you, that/That I shall never exhale again."[2]

Critical reception [edit]

"Breathe Again" received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Ron Wynn of AllMusic picked the vocal as a highlight from the album, writing that "Braxton's husky, enticing voice sounds hypnotic on the runway."[three] According to Daryl Easlea of BBC Music, the song "fully established Braxton," calling it "a delicate ballad that refused to resort wholly to cliché, information technology is brought to life by Braxton's dreamy, breathy delivery."[4] Larry Pic from Billboard described it equally "a yearning, R&B-framed ballad." He added, "In one case once again, her vocal is expressive and moving—mostly due to an unusual willingness to permit some rough-edged notes mingle with the sweetness diva-like tones. Braxton'southward earthy personality makes her seem more accessible than a lot of other breast-pounding singers."[5] Likewise Mitchell May of Chicago Tribune was very positive, writing that "the mode her vocalisation throbs when she sings, 'I can't stop thinking nearly you,' conveys a sense of despair and longing that is rare."[six] John Martinucci from the Gavin Report described it as "melancholy".[seven]

Alan Jones from Music Week deemed it "pretty and radio friendly", calculation that "this seems sure to launch Braxton here [in the U.k.], though it will struggle to repeat its Height x placing."[8] A reviewer from People mag called the vocal "haunting", writing that "the quaver in her vocalization says more nearly love's promise and deceit than many singers manage in a career."[9] John McAlley of Rolling Stone called it "the anthology'southward best material", writing that "Braxton's love hangover has reached ludicrously epic proportions."[ten] Steve Pick from St. Louis Post-Acceleration noted that "here's another lamentable dear song from a sultry alto vocalizer who seems to be getting the best of the LaFace production team'south work this twelvemonth. This pretty tune benefits greatly from Braxton'due south power to hint at the over-the-tiptop histrionics she never quite falls into. As a result, it's both smooth and edgy."[11] James Hunter from Vibe said that Babyface'south writing on "Breathe Once again" "gives the deserving future star melodic peaks and valleys to explore with her gorgeously detailed, unconceited vocalization."[12]
