PJ Morton has a new album dropping just in time for summer. The Grammy-winning singer and musician has announced Saturday Night, Sunday Morning will release June 19 via Morton Records/SRG-ILS Group.
The 18-track, double album will consist of one half R&B and the other gospel. “I’d always been made to choose. Growing up in church, I loved gospel music. You could feel it in your soul. But R&B and soul music, that got me too,” said Morton.
“There was always an unspoken rule that you had to choose one or the other. But is that a true reflection of life? Are we all one thing all the time? Is the soundtrack the same for having a worship experience with God as it is for falling in love? I’ve been fortunate enough to exist in many of these spaces authentically. I was the same person when I wrote ‘Let Go Let God’ as I was when I wrote ‘Say So.’ I didn’t want to choose this time. I’m both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.”
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning will feature the latest singles “Mutual” (R&B) and “Mercy” (gospel).
According to the official tracklist, Saturday Night will include collaborations with Keyon Harrold and Rukhsana Merrise. Meanwhile, Sunday Morning will be featureless.
Morton’s upcoming album will mark his first release since announcing his label partnership deal with SRG-ILS Group. “I am excited about this new partnership,” said Morton. “When Walter Millsap initially brought the idea to me, I knew it would be a perfect fit for what Morton Records, and I were trying to do to take it to the next level.”
Saturday Night, Sunday Morning shares the title of Morton’s memoir, released in November 2024. According to press materials, “the music channels that life story into a collection of music defined by unity and duality, independence and interconnectedness, exploration and introspection.”
