(PR) Kenny 'Babyface' Edmonds continues to work the road with a brand new 13-city schedule of U.S. tour dates in support of PLAYLIST, his current album and the first release on the newly re-launched Mercury Records label (distributed worldwide by Island Def Jam Music Group). The upcoming tour will begin February 15th at Trocadero's in Minneapolis, and run through March 5th at The Vault in Long Beach, California.
PLAYLIST is the first Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds album devoted to cover versions of some of his favorite songs. The album rose to #9 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart on the strength of the Top 10 AC success of his version of James Taylor's "Fire & Rain." Babyface's original "Not Going Nowhere," the second single, moved inside the Top 40 at Urban AC.
