Face the Music is the seventh studio album by American singer Avant. Released on February 1, 2013 in the United States, it marked his debut released on his own label Mo-B Entertainment.[1] Distribution was overseen by Caroline Distribution and EMI Records.[2] The album features collaborations with J'Lyn, Kriss "Kajun" Johnson and singer Keke Wyatt. As of August 2015, Face the Music has sold over 77,000 copies in the United States.[3]
Andy Kellman from Allmusic rated the album three stars out of five. He wrote that Face the Music is "another set of sophisticated, adult-oriented R&B that occasionally veers into boilerplate belligerence without quite reaching "Break Ya Back" territory [...] Altogether, it's a pleasing, natural continuation, full of slow grooves that tend to be convincingly romantic."[4]
