"Babyface was just making inroads as one of the most prolific (and profitable) songwriters of all time, and this disc shows his talent at its best. Featuring such then-chart-toppers as Aaron Hall, Johnny Gill, P.M. Dawn, Grace Jones, Shanice, and the up-and-coming Toni Braxton, the album showcases where R & B was at the start of the decade."Boomerang" is ear candy and a perfect fit for one's musical time capsule."

Great Soundtrack. Great movie!

"This is the only way to get PM Dawn's "I'd Die Without You" single. I'm glad Im not the only person that loved that track!!! Played very little in the movie, but I play it a lot at home!"

Sticking to the Script!!!

"This was the era of conceptual soundtracks. Once you hear the selections you instantly remember the movie itself. The music and songwriting is so infectious, due to the combination of great artist such as Babyface, Toni, Keith Washington, BoyzIIMen, and sticking to the emotions of the script.



The cohesiveness of Face and Toni Braxton starts this disc off very strong with the feel good upbeat "Give U My Heart" (sexy & submissive).



"Tonight Is Right" had every guy working on getting their sound system real sweet at home and tweaking the lights perfectly to woo that lady just as vintage Eddie Murphy has done in the flick.



The airy "I'd Die Without You" is phenomenal while "End Of The Road" is probably the biggest slow jam of the early 90's. It was the classic end of the night song at the skating rink (couples only-backwards skating).



The sensual "Feels Like Heaven" is very hot, yet another classic slow jam tape essential. Newcomer Toni Braxton puts it down on "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", the performance was very seasoned. It portrayed so much conviction reminding us that the things that we have right at home . . . most often are the best things (especially if Halle lives there).



As a real boomerang's flight comes back full circle, I hope that our music someday return back to its moments of truth (Music with substance). Until then I feel good that I can always select the Boomerang soundtrack in itunes and reminisce on those days.



A must-have CD for music lovers of 90's R&B"
