Pixar's latest film, "Soulful World," has been abandoned for theatrical screening. I wonder how many people were saddened by this news. It is a good thing that the film is now being distributed through Disney Plus, but there must be many people who were shocked by the news.
John Batiste was in charge of music for that work. His new album "We Are" will be released on Friday, March 19, and the preceding single "I Need You" is now available and a new music video has been released.

John Batiste has sung the national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game and has been nominated for a Grammy and Emmy Award.
The new song, which has been distributed in advance, is a modern and pop-oriented danceable version of the sound created by black musicians in the early 20th century. The song is a pleasant song with a series of pleasant sounds, and raises expectations for the album.
The music video is directed by Alan Ferguson, who has also directed music videos for Camila Cabello and Jay-Z, and the choreography is by Emmy-nominated artistic director and choreographer Jamelle McWilliam.
Since their peaceful demonstration using music at last year's Black Lives Matter, they have been attracting a lot of attention worldwide, but in Japan, they are still known only to those who have an ear for music. Why don't you check them out while you still can?
