Waiting to Exhale (soundtrack)

0 upcoming performances in New York

First released in 1995, the *Waiting to Exhale* soundtrack is a Babyface-produced song cycle built around a roster of women who defined mainstream R&B in that era, from Whitney Houston and Toni Braxton to TLC, Mary J. Blige, and others. Heard live at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, the music is presented by the *Waiting to Exhale* ensemble as a concert work that carries the film’s themes of love, rupture, and self-determination into the room. In New York, it reads as a time capsule of mid-’90s Black popular culture with enduring reach. Its unity as an album is unusually deliberate for a studio-era soundtrack.
