The Day专辑介绍 在这张专辑里，Babyface请来许多知名艺人合作。与他以Change the World共同获得葛莱美奖年度唱片奖的“吉他之神”Eric Clapton，在《Talk To Me》中担任吉他伴奏；《Every Time I Close My Eyes》也有坚强阵容，由Mariah Carey在幕后合音、Kenny G吹奏萨克斯风、Sheila E负责敲击乐器，合力将此曲轻松带进浪漫境界；盲人歌手Stevie Wonder在《How Come》,《How Long》与Babyface合唱并表演了拿手的口琴；《For the Lover in You》则是翻唱自Shalamar的经典名曲，不但请到Shalamar三位原始团员Howard Hewett、Jeffrey Daniels及Jody Watley跨刀，还有饶舌歌手LL Cool J的助阵，精采万分。另外值得一提的是，专辑标题曲《The Day》这首歌的灵感更是来自Babyface的妻子与当时尚未出生的儿子。

by Leo Stanley
The Day was the first album Babyface released after being elevated into a virtually guaranteed hitmaker in the mid-'90s through his work with Whitney Houston, Boyz II Men, Madonna, and Mariah Carey, among many others. The album confirms his skill for subtle, inventive songwriting and accessible, polished yet soulful production. Babyface can straddle the line between hip-hop and traditional soul better than nearly any other artist, as evidenced by the hits he has orchestrated for other artists. On his own, he is still compelling -- his voice is as smooth as silk, and nearly as seductive -- but it doesn't quite have the force of personality as his greatest productions. Nevertheless, The Day qualifies as state-of-the-art mid-'90s soul, featuring a handful of terrific songs, and a lot of extremely pleasurable filler. [The 2001 CD reissue adds historical liner notes and three bonus tracks: remixes of "Everytime I Close My Eyes," "This Is For the Lover in You," and "Everytime I Feel the Groove," the last of which was previously unreleased and not found on the original album in any form.]
