While collaborating with featured artists including Fireboy DML, Mádé Kuti, Asa, Ndabo Zulu, and Soweto Spiritual Singers, producers like P.Priime and The Cavemen., his own live band and local musicians, Cape Town to Cairo finds PJ Morton using music as his greatest common language.
He connects New Orleans to Lagos on "Smoke & Mirrors" recorded a day after Fela Kuti's birthday festivities- while the transportive arrangements of "Please Be Good" and "Simunye (We Are One)" feat. Soweto Spiritual Singers showcase native sounds and the pride in belonging to something bigger than oneself.
Whether the song came all at once or developed across multiple countries, as was the case with “All The Dreamers” feat. Asa & Ndado Zulu, Morton felt a constant sense of gratitude that manifested in “Thank You,” as well as an awareness for his personal lineage and many others’ ancestors who were taken from Africa (“Who You Are” feat. Mádé Kuti). On “Count On Me,” he and Fireboy DML speak to the world as
a whole, through an uplifting message about the power of friendship and unity.
THANKS FOR UR TIME!!!
