Jon Batiste won album of the year at the Grammy Awards for his last studio album We Are, and he’s coming back for more! The acclaimed singer and composer teased his next LP World Music Radio, set to feature collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Lil Wayne, and more.
Batiste described World Music Radio as a concept album that takes place in the interstellar regions of the universe, adding it will fill your soul, open your heart, and stretch your mind while expanding your vision of popular art.
“I created this album with a feeling of liberation in my life and a renewed sense of exploration of my personhood, my craft and of the world around me unlike anything I ever felt before,” wrote Batiste on social media.
The singer gave us a taste of things to come with the lead single “Calling Your Name”, and he shared the official visualizer for this track. World Music Radio will also feature collaborations with Lana Del Rey, Lil Wayne, NewJeans, and JID, and it will hit the shelves on August 18.
Expectations are running high for World Music Radio after the success of Batiste’s last studio effort We Are. He received 11 nominations at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, including eight for We Are, which was eventually named the album of the year.
