The Day

The Day / Babyface (2001)



There would be no necessity to explain at all about Babyface.
One of the most famous producer who has many hit songs!
How many hit songs does he has on the earth , I wonder?

I knew the fact recently that members of Earth,Wind &Fire have participatd in such his excellent record "The Day".
I have listened to the album many times, but I didn't notice…I should have checked the participation artists on a CD jacket .

An image of love songs are rather forcing to him, but the up tempo music is also quite cool!
"This Is for the Lover in You" It is so exciting tune!
The rap of LL Cool J competed with a vocal of Babyface. So Cool,!the feeling of speed was being produced.
There is also solo part of Haward Hewitt at a part in bridge!
EWF members participated in this thrilling famous tune!

Ray Brown /Trumpets
Reggie Young /Trombone
Bill Meyers /Horn&Strings Arrengement

Only a great producer could do the play with such a big name guests ,I think.
In other songs ,there are surprising guests were featured such as///
Mariha Carry, Stevie Wonder, Kenny G, Jody Watley......

If there is a person who does't know this album, he should listen to it!!
