Soulful crooner Kenneth ‘Babyface’ Edmonds is ready for not just a month of tour dates but, an extended road trek leading up to the release of his next studio album.
Slated to run through September, the “Every Time I Close My Eyes” singer’s tour includes a host of club and festival dates, including a stop at Orlando, Florida’s House of blues May 7 and BB Kings in New York, August 20 (see dates below).
Edmonds has been working on his as-yet-untitled studio album, due for release later this year. It follows his 2007 effort “Playlist,” a set of cover tunes. That effort reached no.7 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart.
