Whether you grew up with the smooth sounds of ’90s R&B or you’ve only just discovered what real soul music feels like, this concert is one for the books. The legendary Babyface is making his way back to the Philippines for a one-night-only performance at the SM Mall of Asia Arena — and it’s all going down on July 14, 2025.
In case you didn’t know: Babyface isn’t just another artist. He’s the artist behind some of the most iconic songs in pop and R&B history. With 13 GRAMMY Awards under his belt and hits that span over five decades, this is the man who helped shape the soundtracks of artists like Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Madonna, Boyz II Men, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, and so many more.
Let that sink in.
This show, titled “Babyface Greatest Hits,” will showcase timeless classics from his multi-platinum albums like Tender Lover, For the Cool in You, and The Day. We’re talking about songs like “Every Time I Close My Eyes,” “When Can I See You,” and “Never Keeping Secrets.”
And don’t worry — this isn’t just a nostalgia fest for your parents. Babyface’s influence is still very much alive today. He recently bagged a GRAMMY for Best R&B Song with SZA’s “Snooze” and dropped a hit collab-filled album Girls Night Out, featuring artists like Ella Mai, Kehlani, Ari Lennox, and Coco Jones. He’s even topped the Billboard charts with his 2023 single “As a matter of fact.”
So whether you’re into old-school soul or new-age R&B, this show has it all.

- 800 million+ records sold
