Batiste- a bandleader and television personality, whose previous prizes include an Oscar for his soundtrack to the Pixar animated movie ‘Soul’- surprised Grammy watchers by scoring 11 nominations this year, the most of any artist. ‘We Are’ is his eighth studio album, which was largely written and recorded prior to both the pandemic and 2020´s mass Black Lives Matter protests but featured prescient lyrics touching on relevant themes.
