35 Passionate Jon Batiste Lyrics From BIG MONEY and More to Use as Captions
Jon Batiste is a massively eclectic talent, and we can never anticipate what he's going to do next. Over the course of his career he's won Grammy Awards and an Oscar with his unique approach to music, doing everything from penning original jazz tracks for Disney and Pixar's Soul to reimagining the work of Beethoven with a blues twist, effortlessly dancing between genres and hitting the mark every time.
He also just dropped his ninth album, BIG MONEY, which feels unlike anything he's done before with its less-is-more approach. Its nine tracks were written and recorded in the span of only two weeks, capturing an intentionally raw live energy you simply can't get on a more heavily produced album. We can't get enough, and if you feel the same, keep scrolling to discover 35 of his greatest lyrics, both from BIG MONEY and the rest of his discography, to use as captions for the next photos you post online.
