Maroon 5 keyboardist PJ Morton has shared a new song that features Stevie Wonder and Nas: “Be Like Water” is the third preview Morton’s forthcoming album Watch the Sun, following “Please Don’t Walk Away” and “My Peace.” Hear the new song below.
PJ Morton and Stevie Wonder previously collaborated on the 2013 song “Only One.” In a statement about the new single, Morton said, “‘Be Like Water’ was definitely a phrase I had heard before.” He continued, “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!”
Watch the Sun is out April 29 via Morton Records. The album includes additional contributions from Chronixx, Jill Scott, Wale, and others.
