Bow Wow and Omarion aren’t kids anymore! These men have really grown up. I Recently attended the listening party for their up coming album “Face Off” This is album is going to be huge, that is inevitable. At the listening party they showed a side of themselves I have never seen before. They let you inside their world big time. They explained their creative process and the meaning of the album. You can really tell this album is meant for the fans. Bow Wow stated that “This album is not about record sales. This is for our fans.”

I really like the fact they played their favorite tracks from the album. Each of them is on every single song. It really brings you back to the Jay-Z and R.Kelly album “Best of Both Worlds”, but these two are actually friends having fun together. It was also stated that this collaboration has been in the works for years. It was originally suppose to be Bow Wow and B2K, but has you can see that wasn’t going to work out.

Omarion and Bow Wow were laughing and making jokes during the whole listening session. Especially, when the audience got an exclusive view of there next video for the song “Hey Baby”. The video was very fun and hype, but it wasn’t that much different from the “Girlfriend” video. Another interesting aspect of the listening party was the personal videos that were shown in the studio. Omarion and Bow Wow performed their favorite tracks, I really enjoyed that, it was a good laugh.

Overall, this album is going to be fire. Every song that was played had me from the opening. You can really tell they are matured over the years. There are party songs, love songs, and even break-up songs. This is going to be a well-rounded album. This is definitely a must buy album. It is slated to be release of December 11th. Make sure you go grab a copy, you won’t disappointed.
