For Music's Sake - Jon Batiste "We Are" Deluxe Album Review

"We Are" reviewing (see what we did there lol) the talented and favorable music artist Jon Batiste, or Baptista according to FMS host Sy McClure lol. His "We Are" Deluxe Album has been known to be a some what poppy, soulful, and political moving album according to others, but in true For Music's Sake fashion, will the music, topics and sound stand the test of time? From making a few previous albums before this one, and being in several bands including the a band on TV Series "The Colbert Show", we take a deep dive into this multifaceted musician's views of lyrics and musicianship! Come with us FMS fam!
