Every Time I Close My Eyes
Babyface, Kenny G
God-tier R&B Vibe - Every Time I Close My Eyes
Why Recommend
Both the lyrics and the music were composed by Babyface. This song is similar in style to "Let's Get The Mood Right", but I think it's an upgraded version of the former. It has the same R&B sound, with Soul elements added, as well as harmonies from Mariah Carey and saxophone from Kenny G. The production elements have been significantly enhanced. Whether it's Babyface's heartfelt performance or Kenny G's romantic melody, they both allow one to immerse oneself in the deep emotions conveyed by the music. The bridge of this song is still my favorite part. And there's also the saxophone section. (I have always loved songs with saxophone performances!) :D
Review
'Every Time I Close My Eyes' is a classic collaboration between Babyface and Kenny G. Babyface sings with his signature gentle voice about deep affection and attachment to love, while Kenny G's saxophone adds a romantic and ethereal atmosphere to the entire song. The production is exquisite, the melody is beautiful, perfectly blending R&B's emotional expression with pop music's accessibility, making it an excellent lyrical piece suitable for nighttime listening.
