PJ Morton - Cape Town to Cairo - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

From Cape Town to Cairo, and now to fans, stages and screens around the world, PJ Morton shares his newest album, fully made in the motherland. Cape Town to Cairo is a collection of songs that he created in 30 days throughout 4 countries in Africa - South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana and Egypt.

None of the tracks were written before he arrived or after he left, and the arrangements showcase both the countries' native genres as well as the innate, stylistic instincts that have made Morton a 5x GRAMMY-winner and 20x GRAMMY-nominee, whether it be his soul, R&B and gospel roots, or the pop prowess he has further honed as a member of Maroon 5.
