Today, Twelve-time GRAMMY® Award winner Babyface has signed with Capitol Records. The veteran singer/producer’s first project for the label will be 'Girls’ Night Out,' a sonic journey through love, heartbreak and all of the emotions in between. The album will feature vocals from Babyface alongside some of today’s brightest female R&B stars, including Ella Mai, Queen Naija, Ari Lennox, Kehlani, Doechii and many others. Produced by Babyface and co-produced by Rika Tischendorf, Girls’ Night Out will be released on October 29.
“I am extremely honored and humbled to be signing to a legacy label like Capitol. They have welcomed me with open arms and treat me like family. And, in the end, that is what it’s all about – doing what you love with people who have the same love for music as you do,” said Babyface.
Michelle Jubelirer, Chair & CEO, Capitol Music Group, said, “Babyface’s return to the studio is long overdue, and I couldn’t be happier that he’s chosen Capitol as the home for such a wonderful new album. To hear his one-of-a-kind voice paired with some of music’s most impressive female artists is a joy that we can’t wait to share.”
Earlier this month, Babyface shared his collaboration with Ella Mai, “Keeps On Fallin,” which is the first single from Girls’ Night Out. The two artists gave the song its first live performance at the BET Awards on Sunday, with Babyface joining Ella Mai during her medley.
As one of the most celebrated creative forces in music, Babyface has contributed to over 800 million records sold and over a billion records streams. He has produced and written 125 Top 10 hits, 42 No. 1 R&B hits and more.
