Following the understated power of his debut “Mister 808,” The Bapti$$—the genre−bending musical rebirth of multi−instrumentalist Joseph LaPlante— returns with “Crazyglue and Skeletons,” a meditative, emotional track that floats on eerie guitars, thumping 808s, and a raw vocal delivery straight from the heart.

Blending pop, R&B, and singer−songwriter stylings with spiritual depth and street wisdom, The Bapti$$ once again brings simplicity to life in a way that cuts deep.

“This song to me is about using love and faith as the medicine to fight through our fallen nature,” LaPlante shares. “When life gets hard, we have our family, and we have God on our side. The lyrics remind the listener that we all have emotional baggage and scars—and in those moments, you have the chance to be the glue that holds your loved ones together from falling apart. That should be a lifelong thing—from the womb to tomb.”

Under the hood where you see the worth
It all falls apart without self work

These lyrics serve as a reminder that lasting peace comes from personal growth, and that love begins with inner investment.
