DOE Releases “Black Boy” Featuring Jon Batiste — A Love Letter to Black Men Everywhere
GRAMMY® and Stellar Award-winning singer, songwriter, and worship leader DOE returns with purpose and power on her brand-new single, “Black Boy (featuring Jon Batiste).” The stirring anthem arrives on the heels of her 2025 67th GRAMMY® Award win for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for her sophomore project, Heart Of A Human — marking yet another defining moment in her evolving artistry.
Available now on all streaming platforms, “Black Boy” is more than a song — it is a declaration. Rooted in affirmation, truth, and generational healing, the track stands as a heartfelt tribute to the beauty, brilliance, and boundless potential of Black men and boys across the world.
Blending DOE’s soulful vulnerability with the masterful musicality of 8x GRAMMY® winner Jon Batiste, the record creates a profoundly emotional and cinematic listening experience. The collaboration feels both timely and necessary — merging gospel conviction with contemporary soul in a way that speaks directly to culture.
“‘Black Boy’ is a love letter,” DOE shares. “It is a reminder that our young men deserve to be affirmed, covered, and empowered. I wanted to create something that speaks life — something that tells every Black boy that he is seen, valued, and deeply loved.”
Batiste’s contribution adds rich instrumentation and emotional depth, elevating the message beyond melody. Together, the two artists craft a soundscape that feels intimate yet expansive — a universal call to see, protect, and celebrate Black youth.
Following her 2025 GRAMMY® win and continued crossover success, DOE continues to carve out a bold lane that bridges faith, culture, and fearless creativity. From her early days performing with the acclaimed gospel family group Forever JONES to her celebrated solo career, she has consistently delivered music that uplifts and unites. With “Black Boy,” she steps further into her role as both artist and advocate — using her platform to affirm identity, inspire hope, and speak life.
The release signals growth — musically expansive yet spiritually grounded. In a time where representation and affirmation matter deeply, “Black Boy” arrives as a necessary anthem of love, protection, and pride.
