Morton has just dropped a music video for one of the tracks, "So in Love," a Caribbean-flavored track featuring Darrel 'MusiqCity' Walls of The Walls Group, and Zacardi Cortez. Walls was in a Houston, TX studio laying his part to the song when the other artist Morton had in mind to sing on it, had an emergency and couldn't perform.
"I was taking my daughter to the dentist and I called Zacardi Cortez and he said, 'I can be there in 40 minutes,'" Morton laughs. "Two of the best male vocalists, period, in music and they are on the same record? If we weren't in a pandemic, Zacardi probably wouldn't have even been home and wouldn't have been able to do it."
"First of all, to have my bro, PJ, call me about being on his album was one of the best moments ever and a true honor," says Cortez. "But, then to hear it... this 'So in Love' song is out of this world! I can't wait for everyone to hear it. I feel like I'm a part of history in the making." Cortez's soulful voice has earned him an enviable reputation throughout the gospel music industry for his outstanding performances that have earned him Billboard No. 1 hits such as "You Don't Know" and "1 on 1." Walls has also gained notoriety for his vocal dynamics with his siblings, The Walls Group, on hit songs like "Perfect People" and "And You Don't Stop."
