New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-Grammy and Oscar winner
Jon Batiste today releases "Drink Water" from his forthcoming album World
Music Radio, out August 18 via Verve/Interscope/Universal Music. The summer anthem features album co-executive producer
Jon Bellion and singer Fireboy DML.
On "Drink Water," Batiste, Fireboy DML, and Bellion remind listeners to "take a deep breath, drink water" when overwhelmed by life's currents. Batiste says, "Traveling with my wife, leaning into the culturally diverse group of friends and family that make up my inner circle birthed the foundations for what is now World
Music Radio - much of which was recorded in transit, hotel rooms, basements and on smartphones either abroad or near big bodies of water."
"Drink Water" follows the announcement of World
Music Radio with lead single "Calling Your Name," which received extensive press coverage including Offbeat ("Batiste has proven his ability to transcend genres"), Stereogum ("a short, bouncy synthpop number") and UPROXX ("groovy… silky vocals").
Batiste is also scheduled to participate in the TODAY Show Summer Concert Series to celebrate his album release on August 18th.
