The story behind
When you encounter Baby as You Turn Away, you're likely to notice a different energy than you might have expected from the Bee Gees. This song, which is part of the 1975 album Main Course, was a turning point for the trio. It was the first time the group fully embraced sounds influenced by R&B, soul, and funk, laying the groundwork for what would become their distinctive sound for the rest of the decade. This change not only revitalized their career but also renewed their public image, especially in the United States, after their previous works didn't have the expected impact. The production for this phase was handled by Arif Mardin, who knew how to capture this new musical direction.
The recording of Main Course, and therefore of Baby as You Turn Away, featured the addition of Blue Weaver on keyboards, a musician who had previously played with Strawbs and had been on tour with Mott the Hoople. This album, released in 1975 by RSO Records, marked the end of Atlantic Records' distribution in the United States under the agreement with Robert Stigwood. The duration of Baby as You Turn Away is 4:22, a length that allows for the development of the atmosphere and sonic proposal that the Gibb brothers sought to explore in this new chapter of their music.
