Amazon.co.uk Review
Dubbed "Babyface" by bass legend Bootsy Collins, Kenneth Edmonds has always kept good company. By his own admission a writer and producer first, an artist last, Babyface's greatest success has come from discovering the likes of TLC and Toni Braxton, and penning and producing hits for Whitney Houston, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson. The Hits referred to here, however, cover those from his four solo albums--but, capable and sensuous as his dulcet tones are on the silky smooth ballads reminiscent of "End Of The Road" (which he wrote for Boyz II Men), the standout tracks are still those featuring more recognisable voices. "This Is For The Lover In You", a dirty groove augmented by Jody Watley's soulful strains and LL Cool J's lustful rhymes, is the finest example of Edmond's romantic soul, with a live version of Eric Clapton duet "Change The World" and the sociological lament "How Come, How Long", blessed with Stevie Wonder's spine-tingling vocals and harmonica, coming close seconds. Of his truly solo efforts, the late-night r&b of "For The Cool In You" and 1980s dance-floor-funk of "It's No Crime" (which could have been written for Bobby Brown) are rare hints to what one does when not smooching or masquerading as a sentimental new man. --Dan Gennoe

Customer Reviews

Smooth grooves to sooth the soul.
I've always been a fan of babyface, and this album brings some of his best work together on one cd. A must-buy for all Babyface fans - and an excellent place to start for those unfamiliar with his work. A fantastic album for chilling-out to.

Best money I've spent ALL year!!!
This has to be my best buy this year a truly fantastic album.
Every single song, ever minute of ever track just has to be listened to. This c.d goes from my house to my car every day as I just can't live without it.
If I could give 10* stars I would.

Great Album
What can I say? This is a brilliant album, with really moving tracks. The ultimate babyface collection it really is. You'll listen to it for ever!
