Babyface - Grown & Sexy Album Review

Image

Tonight It's Goin Down
The song sounds good. A fast RnB song if you know what I mean. The beat is like a mixture of hip-hop/rnb. Alot of Babyface-on-the-micophone sounds. The song starts with a Babyface-on-the-micophone sound, then becomes an upbeat music a la R.Kelly

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y)


Grown & Sexy
Sounds like the first track actually. The chorus lyrics are pretty catchy, it features Babyface counting... " One, because I'm grown and I'm sexy
Two, because I know..."

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y)


Mad Sexy Cool
The song, IMO, isn't that good. The beat is slow and the lyrics aren't that good enough. Good to play during midnights if you can't sleep.

Rating: (Y) (Y)


Can't Stop Now
A pretty good song. It sounds like Omarion's O. But this can get you sleepy. Again, a great song to play if you're on insomnia.

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y)


Goin' Outta Business
I don't like this song that much. I don't like the beat and the way Babyface delivered the lyrics. The beat is not too slow and not fast.

Rating: (Y)


Drama, Love & 'Lationships
One of my favorites on this album. The lyrics and the way Babyface sings sounds good on this one. The chorus is pretty catchy. The chorus sounds like another song but I forgot. :P

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


Sorry for the Stupid Things
My favorite song on the album. The message of the song is true. The beat matches the lyrics. The beat is slow. Another one of many good songs to play during the night.

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


Good To Be In Love
The only upbeat-themed song. From start to finish. Not a bad song. Good lyrics.

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y)


Loneliness
Slow song. Sounds pretty good but during the end of the chorus, when he says "Oh oh oh oh", I just don't like it. Good use of the acoustic guitar on some parts.

Rating: (Y) (Y)


She
My 2nd favorite song. This song was made for his son/daughter. It narrates a story of his offspring. mmm... Great beat... pretty slow but great.

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


God Must Love U
The song reminds me of Twista's Girl Tonite. At the start of the song, he sings "Ooohh" similar to the one at Twista's song. I like this song since it's very relaxing. Slow beat, which I love. 4/5

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


Gettin' To Know You
Some samples are put into this one. The intro sucks but as the song goes on, sounds great. I like this song cause it's good to the ears. heheh...

Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


She's International
I don't like this song. The beat is horrible since it's like a mixture of rnb/trance. I don't like the lyrics as well. IMO, the worst track of the album.

Rating: (Y)


Overall Rating: (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y)


I know everything I wrote was short but I recommend this album to all those RnB lovers and those who can't sleep at night. One of my recent fav. albums. :P

Little Bill is the greatest pre-school character in the world.

Second place is Dora the Exlporer

I thought the whole thread was a joke, but this thing is actually decent. I'm not a R&B fan, so I'm not really qualified to any kind of deeper opinion, but is sounds fine. What about Anthony Hamilton?

Why does he use "U" instead of "You"? Does his typist charge by the letter or something?

It's not Mafia, that's for sure. I haven't figured it myself, though.

yeah this isn't one of his better albums... I'd definitely recommend "The Day" from '97 or even "face2face", which ironically was released on Sept. 11, 2001.
