The Black Keys have released the second single from their upcoming 13th studio album No Rain, No Flowers. The extremely funky new song, Babygirl, follows the release of The Night Before last month.
Babygirl was co-written by The Black Keys with Silver Seas frontman Daniel Tashian – who also worked on The Night Before – and songwriter and producer Scott Storch, who has previously worked with the likes of Dr Dre, Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion, Arianda Grande, Post Malone, Paris Hilton and 50 Cent.
“We’d been obsessing over Scott’s prolific output of material online and his overall body of work for years," say the band. "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.”
Last month, The Black Keys announced the No Rain No Flowers tour, which kicks off in Durant, OK on May 23 at the Choctaw Casino & Resort's Grand Theater. The tour arrives in Europe in late June, before returning to North America in August. Full dates below.
No release date for No Rain, No Flowers has been announced yet.
