If only compensation was doled out fairly commensurate with talent. Taylor Swift made 266 million touring in 2018. For her album Reputation. Name one song off that album that you love. That you remember. That you hum. It sold well. Won awards. Yet nothing memorable. Today's music world is dominated by crap. The artists who flock it become richer. The artists like Tori Kelly who don't care about becoming pop icons and who follow their heart, struggle. They get some notice but not nearly enough. Tori Kelly is significantly more talented and better looking than Swift. Her bank account is 1/133rd that of Swift's.

To do what Batiste is doing here is quite amazing. To be able to instantly match her tone with what he plays, without any sort of rehearsal to know what to expect she'd do with the song... that's pure musical talent right there.

Jennifer Bureau It's wonderful and he is very gifted! This singing style is called rubato; it's where there's a very expressive, loose rhythmic freedom by constantly slowing down or speeding up of the tempo between the singer and the accompanist! It's not that easy to do because there is a lot of musical interdependence and intuition at play, and usually requires an accompanist who knows how to listen very well to the singer's breathing patterns! Usually pianist or guitarist who come from a gospel/church background are the best for this style! I'm sure he has some of that in his pocket! Bravissimo!!!!
