Description
The album, "Snowflakes," is a Christmas album by Toni Braxton. The album consists of nine songs, only two of which are traditional Christmas songs. The rest of the songs have been written by Toni Braxton and various collaborators, and have been polished by Braxton, Keri Lewis, and Antonio "L.A." Reid. The album has a subdued tone and is more sultry than overt sexiness.
Snowflakes is hardly a traditional Christmas record. Of its nine proper songs (the two final songs are instrumental and remix variations of two cuts that came before), there are only two standards "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "The Christmas Song" unless you want to count Vince Guaraldi's "Christmas Time Is Here," familiar through Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. The rest has been co-written by Braxton and a variety of collaborators, then polished by her, Keri Lewis, and Antonio "L.A." Reid. Not surprisingly, the end result is something that's very similar to a proper Toni Braxton record, only with an appropriately hushed tone and the sultriness replacing the overt sexiness.
