Now, the R&B superstar is back with an album he’s titled Girls Night Out – a series of collaborations with a new generation of women artists, including names like Amaarae, Kehlani, Queen Naija, Ella Mai and Tiana Major9.

abyface says he was inspired to record the album following his Verzuz with Teddy Riley, which was hosted on Instagram.

“I ended up getting a lot more fans through Instagram and hearing from people in a different age group that I didn’t realize were fans. I picked up new fans, as well,” Babyface shares with Rated R&B.

“I [wanted] to figure out how to keep writing for a generation that I wasn’t as completely attached to. Doing this record allowed me to be myself, but also allowed me to work with younger artists, hear their voices and write with them. That’s exactly what this album is — a collaboration of with these girls.”
