Jon Batiste has applauded Beyonce for “dismantling genres” with her new country album ‘Cowboy Carter’.

The singer/songwriter wrote and produced the track ‘Ameriican Requiem’ for the pop star’s new record – which also features star turns from Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and Miley Cyrus – and he says Beyonce is doing her part to break down barriers in the music industry.
