“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 had ever felt before,” Batiste said in a statement, according to Pitchfork. You can pre-save/pre-order World Music Radio here.

We Are was released in 2021, and received the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2022. A few months after he won the Grammy, Batiste stepped down from his role as Stephen Colbert’s Late Show bandleader. In 2021, Batiste won an Academy Award alongside Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for his work on Soul. He's also set to appear in the upcoming The Color Purple movie musical.
