Review of the Babyface Face CD 2 Face

Babyface, the richly talented Pop artist has released him latest CD titled Face 2 Face and Wow! It’s really a good one.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Face 2 Face. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Babyface is one of those musicians that has the ability to just win you over with him talent. The kind of artist it’s really a treat to be able to listen to.

Listen and I think you’ll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Babyface is clearly in top form.

While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 - There She Goes, track 12 - Don’t Take It So Personal, and track 14 - Lover And Friend

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Outside In/Inside Out. This is a great track!
