Multi-GRAMMY ® Nominated R&B Artist Johnny Gill Releases New ‘Game Changer II’ Album

Johnny Gill – J Skillz Records/Kalvary recording artist, multi-GRAMMY ® nominated and Multi-Platinum R&B producer, writer and singer releases his highly-anticipated album, GAME CHANGER II. The 11-track album is available now on Apple Music and Spotify.

With Game Changer II, Gill delivers his eighth solo studio album which serves as the sequel to the highly successful 2014 Game Changer release. The album’s first single ‘Soul of a Woman’ successfully secured a #1 slot on the Billboard charts and provided a proper transition to the current single ‘Perfect’ featuring New Edition band mate Ralph Tresvant.  ‘Perfect’s’ ode to the quintessential woman in the form of natural beauty, strength and intellect is currently climbing the charts.

From there, Game Changer II explodes with a generous variety of unique instant classics including the Latin energy of “Fiesta” featuring GRAMMY ® Award-winning guitarist Carlos Santana and GRAMMY ® nominated percussionist queen Sheila E. Additional tracks include the Reggae-tinged love song “Only One” as well as “Favorite Girl” – all produced by GRAMMY ® Award-winning producer/musician/songwriter Blac Elvis out of Atlanta. Another surefire standout is “That’s My Baby,” a harmonically sophisticated tribute to one of Johnny’s greatest musical heroes, Luther Vandross, produced by Ralph Stacy. The well-rounded album concludes with the delightful track “Home” featuring Kevon Edmonds, lead singer of After 7 and “So Hard” produced by legendary hit making team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

In every arena that he has entered, volcanic-voiced singer/entertainer Johnny Gill has been a Game Changer. He entered the professional music world at 16 years-old in 1983 with two albums on Cotillion/Atlantic Records that introduced a clean-cut young boy out of Washington, D.C. with the uncanny sound of a full-grown man. He next lent that voice to an album of emotive duets with Stacy Lattisaw titled Perfect Combination that belied both their ages. He resurfaced several years later joining the group New Edition, bringing a voice that was perfect to help usher them from novelty to longevity on the timeless classics “If It Isn’t Love” and “Can You Stand the Rain.” He brought his renewed star status to Motown Records as a linchpin of the legendry company’s `90s comeback roster with an album boasting indelible smash production from both Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (“Rub You the Right Way”) and L.A. & Babyface (“My, My, My”). He once aligned forces with fellow solo superstars Gerald Levert and Keith Sweat to form L.S.G., one of the first male vocal supergroups of R&B that scored two powerful albums including the sexy smash “My Body.”
