PJ Morton

by: Eunice Moseley - The Pulse of Entertainment

Grammy Award winning musician PJ Morton is still flying high from the success of his latest CD project “Walk Alone” on the Songs of Solomon Music/Tehillah/InieBlu imprint – in distribution with E1 Music. The single, “The One,” is co-produced by Warryn Campbell (Mary Mary).


“I go were the music calls me,” PJ Morton said about this album. “I answer to it. It speaks to my whole journey. I have been at the music thing for a while. People fall off…fans grow, you see who is loyal.”


Well PJ is certainly loyal to his music, this performer has never performed to a track, and in fact he prides himself on being a “musician.” Also a Stellar and Dove Award winner, Morton is currently on the “Walk Alone Tour,” which ends at the end of April.


“I grew up as a preachers’ son,” Morton pointed out.
On the “Walk Alone” CD PJ has a selection titled “Son of a Preacher” where he addresses his life dilemma, growing up as a preacher’s son with a desire to play secular music.


“I want to take it to the next level,” he frankly said.
This New Orleans native and Atlanta resident, recently added author to his title by publishing his first book “Why Can’t I Sing About Love? The Truth About the ‘Church’ Against ‘Secular’ Music” where he explores religion and relationship. His fifth project, PJ’s “Walk Alone” offers ten selections all written and produced by Morton. The CD features singer Tweet and producer Warryn Campbell, who also co-produced “She’s Gone.”


My favorite cuts on the “Walk Alone” project include the title track for its great storytelling, it is truly a masterpiece; “She’s Gone” a nice R&B/Pop song; “Love you More,” featuring Tweet is a Reggae influence love song; “Mountain and Mole Hills” is such a sweet deep testimony with a traditional Gospel sound, and “Son of a Preacher” where he uses spoken-word style delivery his story as the son of a preacher. On this selection he speaks on why his ministry is the same as his fathers’.
