Babyface To Host ‘Waiting To Exhale’ Mother’s Day Special On Instagram Live [WATCH]

*Fresh off his song battle with Teddy Riley, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds has announced that he will host another Instagram Live to play the iconic “Waiting to Exhale” album to celebrate Mother’s Day. He’s also releasing a new album, a first since his 2015 project, “Return of the Tender Love.”

The Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer appeared on “The View” to dish about his next virtual music session, as Babyface is the mastermind behind the 16-track, 1995 compilation album for “Waiting to Exhale.” 

“There were so many people on the Instagram Live who wanted to hear music from the Waiting to Exhale [soundtrack] so I thought this would be great, Mother’s Day, to play the Waiting to Exhale album, tell stories, tell how it all happened and talk about the artists. Because that was half the fun of it all in doing the Instagram Live was being able to tell stories. People were so interested in that. So I thought it would be fun to do as well.”
