Free Music Review: Babyface- Grown & Sexy
Hit: 5 Stars
See now i am so happy face put this album out. Because after the confusing effort of Face2Face, sounded like he was trying way to hard to fit in with the dance r&b crowd, i thought he might just call it quits. But he announced he was releasing his still unreleased concept album "A Love Story", which really makes me mad that he never released it because i heard it was going to be a classic album. So naturally when i heard Love Story was called off i was a little down in the dumps. So i was left wondering, if it was truly over now for Face or if he was STILL going to try and push another album out. Well thank god he pushed another album out because it is my favorit Face album yet to date. And even though musically Grown & Sexy (GS from here on out i will refer to it as)was not perfect, there was still something else that drew me to this album and made me fall in love with it. It could be the swagger that this album has, it could be the fact that Face couldnt have picked a better name for this album than Grown & Sexy, because that is exactly what this album is. Its a combination of great music, swagger, art, and vibes that make this album the classic that it is. I still remember when i stumbled across it at a best buy and i was in shock because i had no idea he had a new album out and at the time, it had already been out for 4-5 months. If i would have heard about it earlier i would have bought it the day it came out. But anyways i am really glad to see that Face is going back to his REAL love songs like the irresistably warm feeling of "Gettin' To Know You" which is definetly one of the many stellar tracks on the album. Its just a chill mid tempo love song. And he also brought back the baby making music which there was none of on Face2Face, "Tonight It's Goin' Down" is sure to cause a spike in the population very fast with its silky smooth vibe and swagger. And then he brings back the powerful break up song with "Goin' Outta Business" which just shows that he has moved past all the dance tracks and is in his Grown & Sexy stage. The promo sticker on the album packaging reads this "The Premier Singer/Songwriter of our time is back with the album of his life!" and that is exactly what this album is. Overall i couldnt have asked for anymore out of Face, because he put out an album that i can listen to all the way through whenever i want and never get sick of it. Its just Grown & Sexy!

Grown & Sexy Poster
Babyface's sought-after, chart-slaying days may be over, but it's all good. If there's one thing the R&B phenomenon demonstrates on Grown & Sexy, is that growing up is sexy. This he proves through a clutch of songs that are more emotionally ripe and satisfying than any of the tricked out tracks that have jerked-and-chugged their way onto recent love song shuffles. Rather than scavenging through Missy Elliott's backyard for an "it" sound, Babyface rummages in his own cellophane-smooth style, and it pays off handsomely. The layers of "Mad, Sexy, Cool" swirl over a pleasingly summery lyric and float into the sophisticated lust bath of "Can't Stop Now." "Sorry for the Stupid Things" speaks straight-up in an apologetic midtempo groove to wrongs committed in an adult relationship. "Good To Be in Love" spills out pure, hand-clapping celebration and "Gettin to Know U" explores a funked-up '70s-era Curtis Mayfield sensibility. As sexy as Grown may be, Babyface makes the case that keeping it real may be as hot as he needs to get. --Tammy La GorcePop Music CDs
