Today, Grammy-winning rock duo The Black Keys released their new single “Babygirl” via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records – listen here. The track was co-written by The Black Keys along with acclaimed GRAMMY-award winning songwriter Daniel Tashian and renowned 8x GRAMMY-nominated songwriter and producer Scott Storch.
Following the new single, tickets for leg two of The Black Keys’ highly anticipated “No Rain, No Flowers Tour” are on sale now – purchase tickets here. The band will kick off their tour on May 23rd in Oklahoma and continue through the summer hitting major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Boston, Toronto and more.
On how the new single “Babygirl” came together, the band states, “We’d been obsessing over Scott’s prolific output of material online and his overall body of work for years. Getting together with him in the studio and watching him get his hands on our collection of vintage keyboards was awe inspiring. He’s one of the greats.”
To celebrate the tour and new music, The Black Keys will host more of their iconic “Record Hangs” – a series of meticulously planned all-vinyl dance parties hosted by Dan and Patrick and open to the public. The next Record Hangs will take place in Nashville on Saturday, March 22nd and Saturday, April 19th at Flamingo Cocktail Club. Tickets will be available at the door only.
“Babygirl” is the second single released from The Black Keys’ upcoming 13th studio album, No Rain, No Flowers, coming later this year via Easy Eye Sound/Warner Records. No Rain, No Flowers is an especially personal project for the Black Keys, and sees the band craft its most ambitious and adventurous album yet, braiding together the pair’s sprawling, eclectic musical influences. They’ll continue to bring their revitalized energy to their tour where they pull from their critically acclaimed two-decade deep catalog.
