2005 Babyface – Grown & Sexy
Grown & Sexy is the sixth studio album by American singer Babyface. It was released by Arista Records on July 26, 2005 in the United States. Originally titled A Love Story and due to be released on March 23, 2004, its release was shelved after lead single “The Loneliness” failed to attract radio airplay/sales. The album was later reworked into Grown & Sexy with three songs (“The Loneliness”, “God Must Love U”, “The Getting 2 Know U”) being taken from the A Love Story sessions.
