Song was written by Warren
Renowned Oscar and multi-Grammy Award-winning recording artist, songwriter and composer Jon Batiste, 3x Grammy Award-winning and multi-Platinum-selling a cappella group Pentatonix, and the iconic Grammy winning and 13-time Oscar nominated songwriter Diane Warren deliver the single “Sweet (Single Edit)” via Di-Namic Records/BMG. Warren composed the music and lyrics.
“‘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,” Warren shares. “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.”
“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,” Batiste shares.
“We were so honored to collaborate with such musical titans as Jon Batiste and Diane Warren,” adds Kevin Olusola of Pentatonix. “They’ve brought the world so much love and joy in their music. We hope the people feel like dancin’ and prancin’ when they listen to ‘Sweet!'”
The release of the single 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.
Last summer, Warren released Diane Warren: The Cave Sessions Vol. 1, which featured an all-star cast of featured guest performances such as Carlos Santana, Rita Ora, Maren Morris, John Legend and Jimmie Allen to name a few.
