娃娃脸2009最新精选情歌集 From The Heart
by Andy Kellman
This set, which originally appeared in 2001 with different artwork as Love Songs -- give Legacy some credit for conveniently mentioning the fact on the back of the disc, unlike similar compilation repackagings that have hit the market throughout the years -- contains 75 minutes of Babyface's most romantic ballads with a couple midtempo singles (such as "For the Cool in You") thrown in for good measure. It picks from Face's Epic albums, from the 1986 solo debut Lovers through 1996's The Day, with the inclusion of several Top Ten R&B hits, like "Whip Appeal" and "Every Time I Close My Eyes," as well as the excellent album cut "Soon as I Get Home." Naturally, this cannot act as a substitute for a proper Babyface anthology like The Essential Babyface (where you can get some uptempo high points like "My Kinda Girl"), but it does dig a little deeper into the type of material Face has done best.
