Notes
Avant follows up 2010’s The Letter with his seventh album, 2013’s Face the Music, via MO-B. Face the Music is Avant’s first album for an independent label. Previously, he’d been signed to MCA, Capitol, and Verve Forecast. Despite moving from major to indie, Avant concedes little swagger on Face the Music, continuing to epitomize and capitalize on comparisons to R. Kelly. Avant’s tenor shines like a beacon throughout the 12-song set (14 in iTunes edition), never ceding emotion as he seeks to pay homage to Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Babyface amongst others.
