Baby Tate's New EP 'Sexploration: The Musical' Is A Sensational Journey of Sexual Self-Exploration
Baby Tate has been remarkably transparent about her journey of self-discovery regarding her sexuality over the past few years. On October 27th, she presented her latest EP, which tells the captivating story of her journey, titled Sexploration: The Musical, at Lumiere Music Hall in Beverly Hills. The sultry vibes of the event included complimentary popcorn and an open bar featuring three signature Ciroc cocktails, each inspired by tracks from the EP: Sexplortini, Jersey Sour, and Wig Snatcher. After indulging in the complimentary snacks and drinks, the audience settled in for the show.
Baby Tate made a grand entrance into the theater, delivering her opening remarks where she expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and shared the backstory of the project. She began by emphasizing the importance of sharing her personal journey of self-discovery in the realm of sexuality, as it's a journey that we all must embark on. In a world filled with stigmas, stereotypes, and judgments surrounding sexuality, Baby Tate courageously opened up about now identifying as pansexual rather than bisexual, a transformation influenced by a heartfelt conversation with her grandmother.
“So many black people grow up in a Christian household like I did, but my Grandma was accepting of me, and so many people don’t have that kind of support.”
Sexploration: The Musical serves as Tate's creative vessel to convey the highs, lows, and everything in between that accompanies exploring the complexities of love, lust, and desire in relationships. The "I AM" rapper's performing arts background is on full display in this project, consisting of five videos filled with music and choreography, effectively telling a story in the style of a pop musical. As the lights dimmed, the show commenced with Baby Tate narrating her sexual exploration journey and introducing the first track: Luv Everybody.
Described by Baby Tate as a "Pansexual Prance," the song vividly illustrates various sexual experiences with both men and women while embracing comfort with one's own desires. The lyrics "Ain't no need to fight about me, I love everybody" encapsulate the essence of the song. Transitioning into the next track, Lollipop, Baby Tate playfully asks, "How many licks does it take? A lot less when it's just the girls." This song is a lesbian love anthem that delves into the exploration of sexual experiences with women.

The catchy beat exudes pop sensibilities, while the lyrics maintain a sultry and sexy tone, striking a harmonious balance. Continuing to maintain the pop vibes, the emotional landscape shifts slightly as Baby Tate weaves the story of a woman seeking refuge with her friends who fly her out to Jersey after a painful breakup. Although the plan is to have fun and games, Baby Tate finds herself crying in the club instead. She taps into her hip-hop roots in the next track, Grip, which samples Ying Yang Twins' Whisper Song. The song offers an in-depth description of the intimate experiences gentlemen will encounter in her world of love. The final track is a lively and flamboyant ode to a woman's love for a blonde "bust-down" wig.
