FILE - PJ Morton performs at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, April 26, 2019, in New Orleans. Morton comes home with a new album and memoir dropping soon amid a Saturday afternoon performance May 4, 2024, at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which nears the end of an eight-day run.
Morton said he does not take for granted the love he feels in his hometown or in performances done around the world. Morton has been a keyboardist for Maroon 5 since 2012. That year he also dropped his first debut solo EP, “Following My First Mind.” Maroon 5’s lead singer, Adam Levine, was featured on the lead single, “Heavy.” The next year, Morton released his first major-label debut album, “New Orleans.” And, in 2017, he released his first self-released studio album “Gumbo,” earning him two Grammy Award nominations.
On Friday, he released his new single, “Smoke & Mirrors,” which is about “defying preconceptions” and has a “message that connects back to self.”“I wrote every day for 30 days and recorded every day,” he said. “It was fully written in Africa and I now I’m giving it to the world. On my last album, ‘Watch The Sun,’ I had a lot of duets with heavy hitters like Stevie Wonder and Nas and had so much time to mull over everything because of the pandemic. This, closes that chapter for me.
