R&B Classic!!!!

isaacmusicman

It is rare for me to give an artist (besides Prince)credit in the 80's on having it going on creativly, but Babyface is the one to have that credit! His first album just flirted on what he did here! The first 5 jonts are just slammin', while the rest of the album is first rate slow jams (even though " Soon As I Get Home" is really hard to believe).He would not release an album this bold in a while, but right here is where his leagacy was started!!!!!!

Babyface’s solo debut yielded the first number one R&B hit of the 1990s while establishing Edmonds as a major personality and performer. He wrote or co-wrote much of the material and even played several instruments. It was a combination of slick production and nicely sung sentimental tributes and heartache ballads. [The 2001 CD reissue adds historical liner notes and three bonus tracks: a "Dub L.A." version of "Tender Lover," a 12" version of "Whip Appeal," and a 12" version of "My Kinda Girl."] – Ron Wynn
