Then there are the ballads that he's always excelled at - they're just as good here, but they not only offer good contrast, they sound better in this context, surrounded by such exquisite dance numbers and grooves. Though he's dabbled in funk since the beginning of his career, the grooves here cut deeper and are flashier than ever before, and the sweet croon of his voice just makes them seem deeper. This is decent, and better (for example) than JUSTIFIED Babyface may (or may not, come to think of it) be a more technically limited singer than Timberlake, but he's more interesting and more soulful, and writes better songs overall - still, this album isn't anywhere near as special as his excellent THE DAY, and overall FACE2FACE just isn't. As Babyface's sense of craft deepens, he's become more assured with what he wants to do on his own records. It was released by Nu America and Arista Records on September 11, 2001, in the United States. Sept 2007 brought the covers-oriented Playlist for Mercury. The back-to-basics Grown & Sexy emerged in July 2005, also the entire year he and Tracey Edmonds announced their divorce. All this activity, combined with the subtleness of The Day, is in no way preparation for Face2Face, a gleaming, stylish platter of urban funk and smooth soul that is easily among his very best records. Face2Face is the fifth studio album from R&B singer Babyface. In 2001, Babyface released a fresh record, Face2Face, and in addition created the punk-pop soundtrack for the film Josie & the Pussycats.
He wasn't exactly in seclusion, since he still worked relentlessly as a producer and songwriter, even masterminding the tremendous pop-punk soundtrack for the 2001 film Josie & the Pussycats. Babyface took his sweet time to deliver the sequel to The Day, a rare flop in his catalog, waiting nearly five years to release Face2Face.
