Babyface (Edmonds) - Together Forever (2004)




Hard to believe he released his first album back in the 80s.  Time has flown but the nickname, for better or worse, has stuck. Babyface Edmonds career has endured while so many others have fallen by the wayside. This must say volumes about his talent as a performer.

Over ten years ago, back in 2004, he released a gem of an album A Love Story that probably made very little impact on the ‘propa modern’ Soul scene in the UK. After all, the man is a crooner given to down tempo love songs. However, this one track is as romantic as it gets. As a late night closing play, for couples to slow dance as twosomes, it’s more than ideal. To achieve that romantic feel he took Glenn Miller’s celebrated 1940’s hit Moonlight Serenade and essential just set his own lyrics to it. All things considered he did an absolutely brilliant job. In his own words he was motivated to do so because...

“Unfortunately, where music has gone these days, it’s really more about sex than it is about intimacy [for a lot of artists],” It would be nice to see us get back to being in love and being intimate as opposed to just having sex.”
