Okay, music lovers, get ready to lose your minds. I just got the news, and I am screaming! Two of the biggest legends in R&B are coming to Manila, and it’s a back-to-back concert you absolutely cannot miss. That’s right, the one and only Babyface is joining forces with the soulful queen herself, Patti Austin, for a night that will be pure magic.

Mark your calendars: October 27, 2025, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. I’m already counting down the days.

The Man Who Wrote Your Life’s Soundtrack

Let’s talk about Babyface. His real name is Kenny Edmonds, and this man is a musical genius. He’s a 13-time GRAMMY winner and the only producer to ever win ‘Producer of the Year’ four times! If you’ve ever heard a hit song, there’s a good chance he had something to do with it. He’s written and produced for everyone from Boyz II Men and Toni Braxton to Beyoncé and Ariana Grande. Seriously, this man is responsible for a huge chunk of our favorite playlists.

A Voice That Feels Like Home

And then there’s Patti Austin. Her voice is pure perfection. She’s been a force in the music world for decades, with iconic hits like “Say You Love Me” that every Filipino knows by heart. We all have that one Patti Austin song that hits us right in the feels—whether it’s “All Behind Us Now” or “How Do You Keep The Music Playing”—her music is timeless. Her duet with James Ingram, “Baby, Come to Me,” was a smash hit that solidified her place in music history.

This is more than just a concert; it’s a journey through the soundtracks of our lives. You’ll hear songs that made you fall in love, songs that helped you get through a breakup, and songs that are just pure, feel-good vibes.

Presented by Ovation Productions and Blast TV, this event is going to be epic. Tickets are now on sale at SM Ticket outlets and online at smtickets.com. Prices range from PHP 2580 to PHP 8880.

I’ve already got my group chat blowing up. Who are you bringing with you? Let’s make this a night to remember.
