In 1987, Babyface began his awesome solo career as a first-rate vocalist, songwriter and producer. He sings in a slikly slight faletto and also sings in his at lower tones in his full voice. This album features expertly produced romantically themed refined pop music for the adult audience. Although, "Lovers" is an adult pop album, the lyrics of the songs are inoffensive thus is suited for teens and pre-teens to appreciate & enjoy. This albums has songs that will set a romantic mood for romantic evenings with that special someone and/or awaken the lover in you. Includes the hits "If We Try", "Mary Mack" & the Top 10 R&B chart hit "I Love You Babe." Highly recommended to those who enjoy refined music.

I have purchased this cd at least five times. For some reason it seems to disappear from my collection. This is in my opionion some of babyfaces' best work.

I love the songs on this CD. They are perfect for romantic evenings!

Lovers was actually the first Babyface album I came accross and I think two of the songs in the album'You make me feel brand new' and 'Lovers',rank among his best ever.I really enjoyed them.

Since the minute I bought this album I knew there was only one direction for this materpiece of a writer. God has truly touched Mr. Edmonds with his talents, along with his brothers. For all you young men and women, take a lesson from one of the best when it comes to love music. Playing babyface is one way of smoothing out the rough edges of the day. So grab the one you love relax, and make a special moment while listening to "Babyface. Enjoy and God Bless.

This is what I am talking about when I say that Babyface was at his best when he had L A Reid as the other ear to make sound decisions on certain tracks. Babyface is totally awesome on this CD, from Mary Mack to Lovers to Chilvary to If We Try. Every song on this CD is totally awesome, I was blown away by how his sound could just penetrate the soul. I understand that you have a new CD out by the name of "Playlist", and by the way that cd is Horrible if you must know. This CD is what I mean about great lyrics and great singing. I highly recommend this cd, and people......Please stay away from the "Playlist CD.... You'll thank me later.
