'WE ARE' is a masterfully constructed and visionary album that represents a completely new sonic chapter for Jon Batiste and a new direction for music culture as a whole. Writing, travelling, painting all while inviting some of the most esteemed creative minds to assist in birthing the album he reached the finish line smack in the middle of the first wave of the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic and volatile social unrest. At the end, a masterpiece of Black Pop Music characterised by the consciousness of Marvin Gaye, the grounded optimism of Stevie Wonder, the iconoclasm of Thelonious Monk and the swagger of Mannie Fresh was born.
