Anita Baker, the Songstress, had earlier this month announced a unique run of live performances for 2023. Today, she announced that her friend Babyface, a recording artist, composer, and producer who has won 12 Grammy Awards, will join the tour as a special guest.
Since the release of her debut album, The Songstress, in 1983, Baker has been a major figure in the music business for 40 years. Baker will sing her timeless hits live for the first time since regaining the masters’ rights during these dates, which will be the first full tour since 1995.
“Looking forward to some crazy, lovely, hang time with my fans, on tour in 2023!! ….Gonna, bring some new music & some special guests, too.”
– Anita Baker
