Jon Batiste is back with a new single today. Prior to the release of his forthcoming sixth studio album, World Music Radio, Batiste has unveiled a catchy new track titled “Calling Your Name.” Set to a lively, rhythmic beat, Batiste sings about a tender love, effortlessly blending his smooth vocals with breezy harmonica drops.
This initial glimpse into World Music Radio perfectly captures the overall vibe of the album, which reflects the newfound sense of liberation and exploration that Batiste has discovered within himself.
“I created this album with a tremendous sense of personal freedom and a renewed desire to explore my artistry and the world around me in ways I’ve never experienced before,” Batiste expressed in a statement.
World Music Radio is set to release later this summer and will feature collaborations with renowned artists such as Lil Wayne, Lana Del Rey, Kenny G, Fireboy DML, JID, Camilo, NewJeans, and more.
