Anita Baker 2023 Tour Announcement – The Songstress 40th Anniversary Tour
Anita Baker has announced “‘The Songstress’ Anniversary Tour,” celebrating the 40th anniversary of her debut album! The iconic soul singer will begin on February 11th in Fort Lauderdale, FL, making stops in New Orleans, LA, Baltimore, MD, Houston, TX, and more before finishing up on December 23rd in Oakland, CA.
These Anita Baker concerts will occur intermittently throughout the year, taking several months-long breaks before bringing the soul legend back to the stage. She needs to rest that incredible voice of hers, okay? Baker is a musical legend in every way and has eight Platinum albums, but can you believe that The Songstress isn’t one of them? Her first record isn’t quite the one that catapulted her to fame, as that’s her sophomore effort, Rapture, but it’s still crucial to Baker’s career. She wants to give her debut album the love it deserves, and she’ll do that and more on this Anita Baker tour.
The setlist will surely include her favorite songs from The Songstress, like “Feel the Need,” “Squeeze Me,” and “Angel,” plus her other hits from the past four decades. While she’s stunned in every era with her soulful voice, Baker will always be known as an 80s queen. She was a crucial part of the “quiet storm” period, the R&B genre performed in a smooth and jazz-influenced style, and she released her most well-known work during this period. Her debut album included, of course.
There are also older tracks from her time in the funk band, Chapter 8, plus newer additions from her solo career that have lasted nearly half a century. The eight-time Grammy winner holds great pride in her catalog of hits and even acquired the masters to all of them last year! Get ready to hear a one-of-a-kind voice on this Anita Baker tour, with tickets available now.
