Nice to see activity in Anita's thread. She was one of my faves as a child growing up. No One In The World was one of my favorite songs as a kid and I still have my mom's copy of the Rapture album on vinyl. Toni Braxton literally owes Anita Baker her career.

This b*tch shoulda at least put a new single out! Ok, first and foremost no need to call Anita names. Secondly let's assume since she's coming outta "retirement" she needs a breather so probably something should arrive in the next few weeks

Anita is gonna read this thread and cancel dates! I'm expecting this to be the inverse of Cher's Farewell Tour. Book 50 dates, cancel 5 here, 5 there. 7-8 more to "unexplained complications". And then when there's about 10-15 left, walk away and dive into promoter drama.

Not sure when this occurred, but it looks like Anita Baker's studio albums are no longer on Spotify. I thought Spotify was getting their sh*t together and paying these artists/writers.

Recently rediscovered her Rhythm of Love album and got my entire life. That album contains some of her best work. "I Apologize" and "Body and Soul" still give me goosebumps.

Not sure when this occurred, but it looks like Anita Baker's studio albums are no longer on Spotify. I thought Spotify was getting their sh*t together and paying these artists/writers. They’ve been licensing individual tracks that can be found in playlists. After her albums were removed, I eventually gave up hunting for them and sourced my original discs.

What’s going on with her tour? I feel like dates are added randomly and I can’t keep up. I want to see her.

That last tribute was so good I’m not sure they can top it. I hope this doesn’t disappoint.
