Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

So Many Ways

Description

Japanese pressing includes one bonus track. Warner. 2009.

Trina, Tamar, and Towanda may not have their older sister Toni's unusual, relaxed sultriness, but they are all fine singers and it's a treat hearing that Braxton sound multiplied by three on the Braxtons' debut album, "So Many Ways." The Braxtons do remake "I'd Still Say Yes" the 1987 Klymaxx hit written by Babyface, but no other melody on the album grabs attention as effectively. Jermaine Dupri comes close on the two songs he wrote and produced. The title track finds the three women crooning about the many ways they can love a man over a tricky, syncopated rhythm pattern, while Dupri's other contribution is an old-fashioned soul ballad about the kind of man a woman could "Take Home to Momma." The album ends with the Braxtons imitating their most obvious role model, Diana Ross, by remaking her 1979 hit, "The Boss." Otherwise, So Many Ways squanders classy singing on formulaic soul material. --Geoffrey Himes

Summary: "I've always loved this CD"

This CD is just one of my favorite CD's. Used to listen to it alot when I was in college (This is also around the time the CD was released). Borrowed it from a friend back then and had to give it back one day. I have looked all over for this CD and was pleased that Amazon sold it. I listen to it often and writing this review I can hear the songs playing in my head. Think I will go load up the cd player with this cd now. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Summary: "So Many Ways"

I pulled this disc after catching an episode of 'Starting Over' and seeing Towanda graduate from the program. It sparked my curiosity since I haven't listened to this disc since 1997!

What's not to like about this disc? The Braxtons can definitely sing & harmonize with the best of them but unfortunately not only did they debut at a time when the r&b market was glutted with girl groups but also there is no real standout track on the disc. Although the buzz created by them being Toni Braxton's sisters may have fueled early interest, the lack of really standout material probably stalled interest in any future releases.

This is a mid-tempo and ballad heavy disc which works for The Braxtons' sophisticated smooth groovin' harmonies. It's a well-put together disc in that the songs are spaced correctly so as not to bore the listener, the songs don't really sound dated to me but after listening to it again for the first time in almost 10 years, there still isn't one song that just leapt out and grabbed my attention.

The tracks that I really enjoyed are:

L.A.D.I - loved the entire music arrangement of this track

SO MANY WAYS - interesting vocal breakdown, nice track & it's honestly the only track that could have led off this debut, it's radio friendly and has a nice groove

I'D STILL SAY YES & THE BOSS - both are enjoyable remakes of fairly classic tunes so it was hard for them to "mess up"

IN A SPECIAL WAY - really pretty mid-tempo groove

I'd recommend this disc to people interested in what r&b of the mid to late '90's sounded like. If you enjoy real singers you'll enjoy listening to The Braxtons but the songs are pretty ordinary in comparison to offerings by other groups in the same era.

Summary: "A Pleasant Surprise, Two Fold"

I got this album from winning a radio show contest back in 1996. I got a lot of "unknown" albums in the same contest, but I was intrigued and surprised to know that Toni Braxton had sisters as fine as she was. Originally just happy that these girls were cute, that was the original reason why I opened up the CD case and popped in the CD.

A week later, I finally take the CD out of the player after continuous play. Their voices are beautiful. And, given that I was usually lead by the media including MTV and BET (I was 19 or 20) this album somehow held my attention even though it wasn't popular. Perhaps another reason why I liked it more, the general population didn't know about them, so it was like my little secret. Very good Album. If you can get a copy, trust that you will be pleasantly surprised.

Summary: "Pretty Solid Debut Album...."

The Braxtons came out about a time when the R&B market was completely flooded with other girl groups (Xscape, Brownstone, TLC, For Real, etc.) and never really got the promotion they really deserved. After releasing a lukewarm single in "So Many Ways", many people forgot about these siblings of superstar Toni Braxton. That's a shame, for this album was one of most overlooked and underrated albums of that time.

This album almost flawlessly blends uptempo dance grooves, witty and innovative remakes, and slow meaningful ballads. Of course, there are a few missteps ("So Many Ways", bad choice for a first single; the boring and uninspiring "Girl On the Side"), but the album consists of some songs that are overlooked.

Check out the Jermaine Dupri-produced "Slow Flow", which thumps along with the New-Jack groove that was still hot at that time. The song is quite reminiscent of Toni Braxton, yet the girls give it their own funk and flair to go along with Dupri's slick beats. Also worth mentioning is the excellent remake of "The Boss", written by none other than Ashford and Simpson (can they ever go wrong?). The girls take a trademark song and definitely make it their own and turn it into a song for the 90s and even the 2000s.

What makes this album work is the girls' distinctive voices and how well they blend. You don't hear one woman singing all of the leads nor do you hear one woman singing all of the background harmonies. Tamar shines on the remake "I'd Still Say Yes", and she has some help from DeMail Burks, who should definitely have an album out! They make the song fresh and new while not taking away from the original. Definitely worth mentioning is "Never Say Goodbye", which gives you a vision of the girls sitting around the piano singing it versus being in the studio. The leads are on point and the harmonies never falter. Also check out the Dupri-penned "Take Home to Momma", which also has some serious harmonies and strong leads from Towanda, and "Where's the Good In Goodbye" which follows the same format.

Without proper promotion, this group faded into limbo. As of late, all three have lended their voices to Toni Braxton's latest albums, Tamar has released her own critically acclaimed album, and Towanda appeared on the show "Starting Over". I'm sure we can get another album out of them in due time. Definitely an album worth checking out...
