Jack Harlow is joining forces with Babyface on a new song from his upcoming EP.
On Monday, November 2, the Kentucky native announced his new project, Sweet Action II, and shared the tracklist. The EP includes seven fresh tracks, including his collaboration with Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, "Too Soon." In a preview he posted to TikTok, you can see Harlow singing along to Babyface's hook on their new song. The track appears to follow in a similar direction to his previous album Monica, which arrived earlier this year. His project holds nine R&B-inspired tracks, including his James Savage collaboration.
Jack Harlow's pivot to R&B has become a hot topic. Following the release of Monica, people weighed in on Harlow's new sound on social media. The discourse sparked a running joke that turned Harlow into the white version of Hip-Hop/R&B acts like "White Thought," "Musiq Snowchild," "Mos Def-initely Not," "Un-Common," and more. Other hilarious nicknames include "Honkey! Honki! Honké!" and "Ghostface Vanillah." The conversation grew bigger after Harlow claimed he "got Blacker" while making the album.
“I love Black music," he explained. "I love the sound of Black music. Of course, I’m hyper aware of the politics of today — that safer landing spot that a lot of my white contemporaries have found. Of course, it appealed to me to do something that I felt like at a time when there's plenty of people expecting me to take some of the routes y'all are taking to take the route that not only might not be expected but is also the one I genuinely wanted to take. So all the stars aligned in that way for me."
