Babyface - Return Of The Tender Lover flac album

Songs in album Babyface - Return Of The Tender Lover (2015).

But his new album is a kind of retreat-Babyface reduced to plush textures. Though Return of the Tender Lover deliberately references his sophomore album, 1989’s Tender Lover, nothing here is as dry and muscular as "It’s No Crime", or generously expansive as "Whip Appeal". In their place is buoyant, effortless pop soul. It sometimes feels like a conscious inversion of Love, Marriage & Divorce; where that record was often capable of a fluorescent hostility, Return of the Tender Lover almost exclusively communicates security and support. The collaborations on Return of the Tender Lover and the design of its production feel traditional, in the sense that they don't attempt to update Babyface's sound and instead lean comfortably on a long, established career. This dedication to tradition and honoring of his craft is less a throwback than a micro-adjustment of an enduring formula.

As Babyface fan this is another solid album from him. As always he sings about real love and the emotions we go through. As a songwriter there aren't many that can match him. Glad to hear After 7 on a few tracks which really brings you back to the 90's. 4 people found this helpful.

Babyface's Def Jam debut, Return of the Tender Lover is also his first solo album of original material in a decade. After the one that preceded it, Grown & Sexy (2005), there was the covers set Playlist (2007) and the Grammy-winning Toni Braxton collaboration Love, Marriage & Divorce (2014). While this is titled in reference to his triple platinum 1989 release, there are no attempts at rewriting "It's No Crime" or "Whip Appeal.

Babyface is an iconic name in the music industry – he’s quite the producer and singer/songwriter. Return of the Tender Lover marks Babyface’s first solo album of originals in 10 years. He hasn’t been quiet during his hiatus – he dropped a covers album (Playlist, 2007) as well as a Grammy-winning duets album with Toni Braxton (Love, Marriage & Divorce, 2014), not to mention his production and songwriting contributions. Still, 10 years without a new solo album is a long time, but Return of the Tender Lover proves it’s was well worth the wait.

K enneth Babyface Edmonds’ 1989 album, Tender Lover, established him as the, er, baby face of smooth-tonsilled R&B. Umpteen Grammys later, and with Edmonds now aged 56, Return of the Tender Lover goes back to the source. This is old-school R&B with a fine glass finish, the musicianship and production audibly expensive and the man’s voice so honeyed it presumably requires the attentions of worker bees. Every song is about love, from the catchy and bouncy We’ve Got Love to the gossamer Fight for Love
