<p class="MsoNormal">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 <i>EP Following My First Mind</i>, which features guest spots from
<b>Adam Levine, Lil Wayne</b> and <b>Jazmine Sullivan</b> and was praised by the likes of
<b><i>Vibe, Interview, Complex, Essence, MTV Buzzworthy</i></b> and <b><i>YRB</i></b>. Look out for PJ’s unique brand of smooth, soulful pop on
<b><i>New Orleans</i></b> 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.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
