Jon Batiste Recruits SOFI TUKKER For ‘Worship’ Remix
The track is featured on Batiste’s new album ‘World Music Radio.’
Jon Batiste has recruited SOFI TUKKER for a new remix of “Worship,” originally featured on his acclaimed album World Music Radio.
“Worship,” with its message “We are born the same,” is an unforgettable anthem of our shared humanity, instilling a sense of community among all listeners. The SOFI TUKKER remix amplifies the song’s powerful rhythms and lyrics. Check it out below.
SOFI TUKKER say of their “Worship” remix: “Getting to collaborate with Jon Batiste was so fun and is an honor. The guy is a force of talent. Getting to reimagine this powerful song for the club was so much fun. We actually made a bunch of versions of this one as we wanted to make sure we did our best for Jon! The gospel feel of this is a very cool moment in any DJ set.”
Batiste recently performed “Worship” on the season finale of America’s Got Talent, joined by the Mzansi Youth Choir for an electrifying performance of the single.
Mzansi Youth Choir is a group from Soweto, South Africa, initially formed to keep youth singers off the streets and help them focus their energy on creating art. A dedicated champion of music’s unifying power and empowering the next generation of musicians, Batiste is the perfect collaborator for this special performance.
Batiste’s latest studio album, World Music Radio—featuring collaborators including Jon Bellion, Lana Del Rey, Lil, Wayne, and more—draws inspiration from his mission to create community with the power of music.
The album received widespread critical acclaim for its universal message and genre-defying sound, hailed by NPR as “a sprawling exploration of what global music can sound like,” and by the Associated Press as “a mesmerizing way to dial into Batiste’s eclectic and wide musicality.”
Of World Music Radio, Jon says, “A range of collaborators in locations all across the globe made this a reality. There was a lot of joy in making this, and it definitely translates to the listening experience – and now to you.”
