Babyface feeling 'Grown & Sexy'

LOS ANGELES, July 26 (UPI) -- R&B hitmaker Babyface said he's serious about both parts of the title of his new album, his new album, "Grown & Sexy."

"I was just trying to make a sexy record and that may have be ballad-driven but still has a groove," Babyface, real name Kenneth Edmonds, says of his ninth album. "The record still has a tempo without having to make a record where I would have to dance. It's just got a groove to it, but it's still kind of ballad-oriented."

He's currently producing a tribute album to the Bee Gees.
