Jon Batiste – Big Money CD

Jon Batiste – Big Money

"Big Money" is the name of the 2025 album by seven-time Grammy winner Jon Batiste. The multi-talented artist fires a hot mix of R&B, Americana, soul, roots and gospel from all angles and doesn't mince his words: "You can buy a song, don't mean you can sing". Batiste's great songs don't just want to get your feet moving: "Live for something you can feel, live for something real" he demands in the title track of the album, which is not only his most rousing to date, but also his most challenging. Nine songs that have what it takes to be the soundtrack of a counter-movement.

Batiste, described by the Guardian as a "proven musical genius", continues to defy categorization with Big Money. He produced the album together with his long-time creative confidant Dion "No ID" Wilson. Other contributors included Andra Day, the legendary Randy Newman and a conspiratorial group of musicians, songwriters and studio wizards. Instead of focusing on clinical perfection, the sessions emphasized feeling and presence - the performances were captured in real time captured in real time, leaving their rough edges unaltered as part of the album's spiritual DNA.
