This review is from: Face2Face (Audio CD)
Although, Babyface has released 3 CDs, sice 1996's, "The Day", 1997's, "MTV Unplugged", 1998's, "Christmas with Babyface" and last year's, "A Collection Of Hits", "Face 2 Face" is Babyface's 1st full length release in 5 years. As a r&b music fan of slow jams, Babyface is one of my favorite artists to listen to when I want to listen to a good slow jam. "Soon As I Get Home", "Where Will You Go", "Whip Appeal", "Never Keeping Secrets", "I Said I Love You", "Everytime I Close My Eyes" and 2000's, "Reason For Breathing" have always been favorites of mine. Babyface is known for a distinct style and that is usually good love making music that's smooth and occasionally you'll get an uptempo track to go with the slow jams and the midtempo songs. All of his full length CDs in my collection have impressed me: "Tender Lover", "For The Cool In You " and "The Day". With "Face 2 Face", Babyface is taking a different route this time. This CD is totally different from anything that he has released previously. The prime example of this is the 1st single, "There She Goes". This Neptunes' track is off the wall. This is definitely his best uptempo track ever. Babyface does things falsetto style and it brings pleasant results. Babyface fans that aren't used to this may not enjoy this song at all. This one was made just for the clubs and is not like any uptempo song he has done previously. His 2nd single, "What If" is more of what people are use to from him. It's a nice slow jam that talks about how things may have been or could still be with one of his ex-girlfriends. This is vintage Babyface and is definitely one of the best songs on this CD. A track that you would have never expected, "Baby's Mama" w/Snoop Dogg, has Babyface telling a man that he should pay more attention to his responsibilities as a father instead of worrying about who his baby's mama is dating and trying to get back together with her. The song makes a good point and Snoop delivers as usual on the rap. The only things that his fans will have to get use to are his overuse of the falsetto tone and the fact that Babyface is using a little foul language. When I think of Babyface, I think of smooth and sensual r&b music and although he does hold true to that on some somgs, you have to get use to some of the subject matter on some songs. Other highlights include the nice slow jam, "With Him", "I Keep Callin'", "Wish U Was My Girl" and the nice "How Can U Be Down". In the latter song, Babyface tells a tale about a woman that is trying to be down with him that his woman knows. She is seductively trying to work her way into Babyface's pants and he rejects her since he is with someone. I like this CD and I would give it 4.5 stars and not 5. If you are a Babyface fan, buy this CD and listen to it 2 or 3 times and it will grow on you. I promise.
