“Let Go”
PJ Morton featuring Bishop Paul S. Morton
S.O.S. (Songs of Solomon) (2010)
After being asked by audiences to perform the Stellar Award-winning hit he wrote for DeWayne Woods, PJ Morton decided to commit his version to CD. PJ’s father, Bishop Paul S. Morton of Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church, joins him on an emotional performance of the popular ode to letting go and letting God.
Morton couples this single with “Son of a Preacherman,” which is even more compelling than the lauded “Let Go.” The autobiographical song features the bespectacled singer-songwriter rapping about the conundrum of a preacher’s progeny: expressing his individuality in the face of unreasonable and confining expectations from parents, the church community, and the wider public.
PJ’s fifth album, Walk Alone, is due in stores and on iTunes April 6, 2010.
