Aside from producing such films as "Soul Food" and the forthcoming "Light It Up," Babyface has also spent some time working on the long overdue new TLC album, "Fan Mail," which is due in stores on February 23.

Babyface shares production credits with Dallas Austin, his LaFace Records partner L.A. Reid, and TLC themselves. Janet Jackson's producers of choice, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, also got into the act by handling one track, "I'm Good at Being Bad.
