Five Reasons Why Jon Batiste’s ‘We Are’ Won Album of the Year at the 2022 Grammys
The much-discussed favorite in the album of the year category going into the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Apr. 3) was undoubtedly Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour, the blockbuster debut effort from 2021 breakout singer/songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. But it wasn’t Sour, nor similarly well-performing and critically acclaimed sets from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X or Doja Cat, that took home the top honors on the evening. That distinction instead was accepted by Jon Batiste, the veteran do-everything jazz-soul artist, for his We Are album — a No. 86-peaking set on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with only a handful of mainstream reviews to its credit.

Billie Eilish Tributes Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins In Stormy Grammys Performance
By Alex Gonzalez Billie Eilish is taking the 64th Grammy Awards by storm — literally. On top of her nominations this evening, Eilish delivered a captivating performance of the title track from her sophomore album Happier Than Ever. Eilish opens the song while singing inside a model of a house, wearing a shirt with a picture of the Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died earlier this week.
