Description
GRAMMY Award winning R&B recording artist and producer, PJ Morton, has carved out some time from his hectic touring schedule to craft a brilliant debut solo album entitled, Temporary Tears (Morton Inspiration / Tyscot), for his protege, JoJo Martin. For some, it may seem pretentious to compare Temporary Tears to coming-of-age works such as Stevie Wonder’s 1973 opus Innervisions or Lauryn Hill’s 1998 set The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. However, both sets were semi-autobiographical projects that marked a pivotal turning point in each artist’s career.Temporary Tears is a deeply reflective muse on the tearful moments of Martin’s own life. However, the message is that tears are temporary and dry eyes will prevail with God’s help. Against a backdrop of sophisticated urban instrumentation, Martin sings of the premature loss of his mother, his near-death battle with kidney disease, ridding himself of false friends, and simply trying to find his footing as a man.Temporary Tears is not an album full of tracks. Instead, it’s a short story broken up into separate tracks. There are stellar appearances from gospel royals such as Kirk Franklin and Kierra Sheard; but Martin’s smooth and comforting tenor is the notepad upon which this musical open letter was written.1.
