PJ Morton, Stevie Wonder And Nas Join Forces on New Single "Be Like Water"
Globally-acclaimed artist PJ Morton brings together two of
his biggest musical heroes on his new single “Be Like Water”, featuring Stevie
Wonder and Nas. A highlight and spiritual center-piece of his forthcoming album
'Watch The Sun', (due out April 29th on his own Morton Records) the song is a
message to remain fluid and adaptable to life's challenges and changes,
blending strings, synths and shifting tempos in an attempt to wash away the
worries.
It wasn't until after he finished writing and producing the
track that PJ Morton began to envision multiple sections of lead vocals,
harmonies and harmonica from Wonder, and a rousing verse by Nas. The end result
marks another dream come true for the four-time GRAMMY-winning soul artist.
“‘Be Like Water’ was definitely a phrase I had heard before,” says PJ Morton. “Bruce Lee made it famous of course, but it didn’t fully connect with me until we were all shut down and I had to pivot in my life like we all had to. After I finished writing it I could only hear Nas’ voice on it. For him to actually get on it blew my mind. Then when Stevie Wonder agreed to be on it and to learn that Nas had always wanted to work with Stevie, it was beyond my wildest dreams! ”
