Iconic artists Jon Batiste, Pentatonix, and Diane Warren have just released the music video for the vibrant song “Sweet (Single Edit)” directed by Matt Earl (Doja Cat, Carlos Santana, G-Eazy, Cordae). The vibrant video features a cameo from Warren and shows each member of Pentatonix as animated characters throughout the clip as a crooning Batiste intermixes with them in an urban cityscape.
Oscar and multi-Grammy® Award-winning recording artist Jon Batiste developed a fluency in jazz and popular music of all stripes, collaborating with legends from Wynton Marsalis to Prince. In 2022, Batiste’s composing and songwriting will be featured in his large-scale, genre-melding symphonic work “American Symphony,” set to premiere at Carnegie Hall. Jon was even named bandleader and musical director of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
“Life is full of ups and downs. Music is a gift that helps put it all in perspective. This song will find those who need it most,”
Jon Batiste
Grammy winning and 13-time Oscar nominated songwriter Diane Warren’s newly released single joins a beyond-impressive songwriting resume that includes countless staples of modern music history including “Because You Loved Me” (Celine Dion), “Can’t Fight The Moonlight” (LeAnn Rimes), and “How Do I Live” (by both LeAnn Rimes and Trisha Yearwood). The release of “Sweet (Single Edit)” comes on the heels of the announcement that Warren has been selected to receive an Honorary Oscar as voted by the Academy’s Board of Governors. She is the first songwriter to receive an Honorary Oscar which will be presented at Academy’s 13th Governors Awards in November 2022.
‘Sweet’ is like a jolt of positivity right when we need it the most. And there is no one who exudes more positivity and joy than the amazing Jon Batiste. To have both Jon and the greatest a cappella group in the world, Pentatonix on my song is a dream come true. Just in time to make everyone’s Summer a little SWEETer.
