Avid lovers of PJ Morton’s music will be thrilled to know that in Saturday’s episode of Idols SA, the contestants will be earning their keep by singing his songs. It’s all beautifully timed as the American singer will be performing to a sold-out crowd in Johannesburg on the same weekend.

Morton’s sprawling discography contains a number of hit singles that propelled a rising singer to fame globally. Often compared to the likes of Adele, amongst many in the high leagues of soulful ballad-belting, the R&B singer has continued to gain renown for his beautiful catalogue of timeless love songs.

Hailing from New Orleans in the US, PJ Morton has etched his name into the annals of contemporary R&B and soul. As a Grammy-winning artist and versatile musician, Morton's discography is often lauded for being a cohesive collection of soulful records.

From his debut solo album Emotions to the critically acclaimed Gumbo and the beautiful melodies on Paul, Morton has earned his reputation for creating a soundscape that his listeners can escape to.

Morton’s is a sound known for its ability to bridge generations, so the contestants have their work cut out for them. His standout tracks like ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ and ‘First Began’ have become anthems of love, earning him widespread acclaim and Grammy recognition.

What’s more, Morton's distinct voice, paired with masterful songwriting, brings depth to his work. As such, the judges will be keeping an eye on performers who are able to reflect this on the stage at Mosaïek Teatro.
