The original album was actually released last year - it's pretty solid although some of the lyrics ruin the total package, imo. I'm not sure why they re-released it as a "Deluxe" edition... I feel like it would have been smarter to release the new tracks as an EP. Glad it's getting some buzz though and "Buying Time" is great -- and it's nice to hear Babyface even if the song is kinda meh.
(There was a thread about the original album last year - general sentiment was positive.)
So I'm SUPER late on this one lol. The song with Babyface showed up in my Youtube suggestions. I thought it was "meh" as well, but I was excited about him having new material out. Went to Spotify and saw the album. Didn't realize the deluxe edition was a year old album with a few new songs tho. Late pass!

>I'm curious was "Fade Away" your introduction to his music? >
It was the first song of his that I REALLY liked. I'd seen his name mentioned and caught some of his Tiny Desk concert, in which I was impressed by the quality of his live singing. I was looking for that song of his that I could really ride for tho. Fade Away was it for me.
