FROM THE HEART is a compilation that spans the years 1986-1996, effectively covering Babyface's astonishing hit-making tenure at Sony/BMG, a period during which Babyface became a ubiquitous figure on the musical landscape, writing songs for the likes of Mariah Carey, Madonna, and even Eric Clapton. While this compilation contains many of Babyface's greatest commercial successes, selections like "You Make Me Feel Brand New" from his underappreciated debut compare favorably with the R&B icon's better known work.
Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds is one of the few achievers of a true pop-music trifecta: writer, producer, and recording artist. While penning songs for some of the biggest pop stars of the 1990s--Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, and Whitney Houston, among others--Babyface also perfected a mature, urban pop sound that marked him as one of the finest and most successful producers of the decade. A popular singer in his own right, Babyface won a best R&B vocal Grammy in 1995, and released the star-studded FACE 2 FACE in 2000.
