Anita Baker Reaches Out to Younger Artists |
| Sep 30 2010 |
Fans waiting for the new Anita Baker album have to wait a little longer: the project, tentatively titled 21st Century Love, was scheduled for a November release, but has now been pushed to Jan. 18. It should be worth the wait, as Baker mixes it up with some surprising guests, including Snoop Dogg. She told the Detroit Free Press about working with younger artists: “I've been on the road for 20 years, and what happens is, these young artists just show up at my concerts: Monica wants to know what kind of mic I'm using, Snoop wants a picture. So over the years, I've become friends with a lot of [them]…We're trying to bridge this (generational) chasm that's been created….These young artists are looking for ways to grow up, and this shows they are growing up, that they're comfortable with more mature subject matter. And I take a great deal of energy from these people.”
