World music radio

"With his seventh album, the decorated pianist and composer reimagines the meaning of world music ... The album is an ambitious feat in sound and scope but brisk featureless tracks like the synth-laden and soulful 'Calling Your Name' or the rare stripped-back piano ballad 'Butterfly' make the jaunt fly by".

"With 2023's World Music Radio, he again seeks to heal across boundaries, crafting a soul- and dance-infused album that feels like something Stevie Wonder might have made in the 1980s, but colored by his own distinctive blend of contemporary pop and jazz harmonies. Loosely conceptual, World Music Radio is designed to play as the broadcast of interstellar radio DJ Billy Bob Bo (voiced by Batiste), whose message of global unity bookends the album".

"The jazz multi-instrumentalist wants to unite the world in song. But his new album collapses the wide-ranging possibilities of global music into something for everyone and no one".
