"['Only One'] is one of those songs that make you remember why you originally fell in love with R&B. Turn up the volume, get your soul fix & go two-step to this soul jam. Stevie on the harmonica is crisp as always." - VIBE

"The proof is in the music." - Ebony

"PJ has the musical chops and the swag." - MTV Buzzworthy

"PJ Morton is the ultimate 21st century soul man. He's got R&B groove down to a science, while adding a little hip-hop grit and even some rock shine. New Orleans is the perfect place to meet one of the brightest and most brilliant artists of 2013." - Artist Direct

PRESS HERE<http://www.etonline.com/music/132557_Exclusive_Behind_the_Scenes_of_PJ_Morton_s_Only_One_Music_Video/index.html> to check out behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot which ET Online premiered last week. "Only One," which premiered on Billboard.com, is the lead single from PJ Morton's major label debut New Orleans, out May 14th. The LP, whose title is a nod to PJ's hometown and musical roots, boasts special guest features by Stevie Wonder, Busta Rhymes and Adam Levine.

Tune in to 106 & Park on April 15th as PJ personally brings his "Only One" video to BET viewers. On May 21st, PJ will return to the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon stage to sit in with The Roots. In other news, PJ has announced a performance at the Essence Music Festival July 6th in his hometown of New Orleans and solo headlining live dates this summer. While doing double duty as a solo artist and Maroon 5's keyboardist is nothing new to PJ (the band is currently in the middle of a world tour), he will kick it up a notch this Fall. PJ will open for Maroon 5 on select dates this September when they headline the 2013 Honda Civic Tour presented by American Honda Motor Co., Inc. They will perform alongside global superstar Kelly Clarkson. PJ will also support Maroon 5 on European tour dates this summer overseas.

PJ Morton is not only an artist and musician, but he is also a Grammy-Award winning producer and writer who has worked with noteworthy artists such as India Arie, Jermaine Dupri, LL Cool J, Jagged Edge, Monica and Musiq Soulchild. In 2012, PJ released his free EP Following My First Mind, which features guest spots from Adam Levine, Lil Wayne and Jazmine Sullivan and was praised by the likes of Vibe, Interview, Complex, Essence, MTV Buzzworthy and YRB. Look out for PJ's unique brand of smooth, soulful pop on New Orleans this May, bringing his evocative hooks, funky R&B grooves, velvety vocals and stellar musicianship to the forefront. With PJ at the keyboard and a full backing band complete with horns and strings that give the album a lush finesse, it's easy to fall for these songs at first listen.
