Background

[edit]

The album was first announced on August 13, 2020.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gospel According to PJ was led by video-conferenced collaborations from Morton's New Orleans studio. In between the songs are three interludes capturing a conversation between PJ and his dad, discussing the journey to a moment they never thought would come. "That's my favorite part of the album," PJ confesses. "It's a story about a father and son, and my father supporting me and being there for me even though I didn't necessarily take the path that people thought I should. We still got to this album, me being who I am, and me making him proud. He supported me through all of it."[2]
