...I recently got given Street Vibes 6. Toni Braxton’s “Spanish Guitar” was on it and I knew it had to be good if it was on this quality album. The song is a great combination of R&B, Soul and Latin. With Toni Braxton’s incredibly powerful, soulful voice, “Spanish Guitar” is a wicked song.
It’s a love song but not slushy and repetitive. It has great lyrics and the Latino and R&B mix makes this tune a cut above the rest.
It is certainly one of Braxton’s quality songs, and her incredible voice adds to the sheer quality of it. The sound of a Spanish guitar being played in the song is great as it contributes to the Latin effect.
I love this mix of Latin and R&B. Definitely a song I recommend you listening to....

Advantages: Simply a catchy R&B pop song! Disadvantages: None
...Toni Braxton used to be the epitomy of true R&B. Her songs were luscious and soulful, simple and heartfelt, and real rhythm and blues in every sense. But with her comeback hit "He Wasn't Man Enough" it has become clear that she's ditching her roots and heading for the mainstream R&B/pop sound that is cruising the charts at the moment.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. Toni Braxton is a strong vocalist and this track received a lot of airplay. She's young, attractive, talented and the ideal "product" for the current music marketplace. The track itself is catchy, sing-a-long-able and very well done. After a couple of listens you'll be hooked and want to hear it again and again. Grab the single if you don't believe me; it's worth it. Braxton has done a good job of blending R&B/pop with her natural soulful sound. Her voice is distinctive...
