In the immediate shadows of releasing his original song for Walt Disney World’s Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Grammy Award-winning artist PJ Morton has just dropped his latest album, “Capetown to Cairo,” which became available at midnight today. The release follows an innovative creative process that saw Morton embarking on a unique musical and cultural journey across the African continent.
Sharing insights on Instagram, PJ Morton revealed that the album was a bold experiment. It was remarkably written within a span of 30 days. He chose not to write any music before his trip to Africa and refrained from writing after returning. This approach ensured that the creative process was deeply influenced by the experiences and inspirations he encountered during his travels.

Morton spent 30 days visiting four African countries, soaking in the diverse cultures, sounds, and rhythms of the continent. This journey served as the sole incubator for the album’s creation, resulting in a body of work that is both authentic and deeply resonant with African influences.
Among the tracks on “Capetown to Cairo,” the song “I Found You” stands out as a timeless piece that is sure to become a staple at weddings for years to come. The soulful and heartfelt ballad draws comparisons to classic love songs like Eric Benet’s “Spend My Life with You” and Morton’s own “First Began.” “I Found You” evokes the same emotional connection and romantic ambiance, making it a future favorite for couples celebrating their love.
Fans can now experience “Capetown to Cairo” on all major streaming platforms. As listeners enjoy this latest offering, they are invited to join PJ Morton on his extraordinary journey, discovering the beauty and diversity of Africa through his evocative melodies and soulful lyrics.
