在第二張錄音室專輯[Secrets](1996)獲得成功後,全球銷量超過 1500 萬張後, 美國黑人歌姬唐妮布蕾斯頓(Toni Braxton)向洛杉磯高等法院提起訴訟,要求解除她與 Arista 和 LaFace Records 的合同,理由是一項法律規定雇主不得在七年後強制執行勞動或服務。 經過一年的法律問題後,布蕾斯頓頓與LaFace Records達成和解,並計劃於1999年5月發行一張新專輯。 不過直到2000年4月,唐妮才正式推出第三張個人大碟[The Heat/熱力](LaFace/Arista唱片發行). 布蕾斯頓參與八首歌曲創作, 製作群包括Teddy Bishop,Keith Crouch,David Foster,Jazze Pha,Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins,Daryl Simmons,唐妮(六首)以及她的丈夫Keri Lewis . 這張專輯標誌著布蕾斯頓放棄她的抒情民謠,轉向更urban都市的聲音。 樂評基本正面.
大碟登上美國告示牌專輯榜亞軍,取得2白金(210萬張)(2000年榜#41) 副榜──R&B/Hip-Hop專輯榜冠軍(2000年榜#11) 國際方面:英國榜#3──金唱片(10萬張) 德國#3──金唱片(15萬張)(2000年榜#36) 法國#9──金唱片(10萬張) 加拿大(RPM)冠軍(2000年榜#54/2001#116), 荷蘭#3──金唱片(4萬張)(2000年榜#45) 瑞士亞軍──金唱片(2.5萬張)(2000年榜#32) 丹麥#3(2000年榜#84),挪威#4,瑞典#6,奧地利#7 比利時(荷語區)#9──金唱片(2.5萬張)(2000年榜#77) 比利時(法語區)#9(2000年榜#45), 澳洲#14──金唱片(3.5萬張) 愛爾蘭#15,義大利#18 日本#25──金唱片(10萬張) 匈牙利#26,芬蘭#27,西班牙#28,紐西蘭#30 歐洲榜#2(2000年榜#35) 巴西-(10萬張) 全球賣出400萬張
2000年6月,唐妮推出第二單曲[Just Be a Man About It/做個男人吧] 由布蕾斯頓,Johntá Austin,Teddy Bishop,Bryan-Michael Cox創作,是首電話分手歌曲. 唐妮在電話質疑伴侶的男子氣概,而Dr. Dre扮演任性的情人,向她提出分手。 據製作人Teddy Bishop稱,最初考慮由Martin Lawrence和Will Smith來表演歌曲的台詞部分。 但由於日程安排衝突,計劃最終未能實現。 Dr. Dre 被邀請出現在[Just Be a Man About It/做個男人吧]中,因為錄製這首歌時他在隔壁的錄音室。 Teddy Bishop製作成一首R&B抒情曲,在纏綿的樂聲中,唐妮以濃厚的嗓音沉重演繹.
歌曲獲得好評,CD Universe寫道,“即使是Dr. Dre博士在[Just Be a Man About It]中的客串,也向70年代像Barry White這樣的愛情男人的感性宣講和床邊禮儀致敬。” Bog Roget為亞馬遜撰文,布蕾斯頓「在[Just Be a Man About It]中表達對現實的強硬態度,這讓她在分手場景中與Dr. Dre對立,這種分手場景比失重的瑣事更有力量」。
[Just Be a Man About It]登上美國單曲榜#32, 副榜──R&B/Hip-Hop單曲榜#6(2000年榜#24) 加拿大#34(2001年榜#180)
[The Heat/熱力]提名2001年格萊美獎最佳R&B專輯提名, [He Wasnt Man Enough]則拿到最佳R&B女歌手獎,並提名為最佳R&B歌曲。
