Toni Braxton Album
Braxton made her solo debut at full power during the early ’90s. Her first two albums, Toni Braxton (1993) and Secrets (1996), both went platinum eight times over, accompanied by a string of hit singles that included “Un-break My Heart,” which ranks among the longest-running number one pop hits of the rock era.

In the late 1980s, Braxton began performing with her sisters in a music group known as The Braxtons; the group was signed to Arista Records.

After attracting the attention of producers Antonio “L.A.” Reid and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and being signed to LaFace Records, Braxton released her self-titled debut studio album in 1993.

The album reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart and sold 10 million copies worldwide. In addition, the singles “Another Sad Love Song” and “Breathe Again” became international successes.

The album brought Braxton three Grammy Awards, including the Grammy for Best New Artist.
