Johnny Gill It’s been 16 years since award winning, R&B legend Johnny Gill released a solo album but next month the wait is over as Gill will release his new single, “In The Mood” the first track from his forthcoming recording on independent powerhouse Notifi Records.
Written by Gill, Ralph Stacey and Dave Young who has composed hits for Faith Evans, Toni Braxton and Mary J. Blige, In The Mood keeps Gill sounding as contemporary as Usher, Ne-Yo and today’s other chart topping R&B stars. The smooth, laid back vibe of the song fits perfectly on all radio formats yet reminds his fans that he is still one of the best, most powerful vocalist around. In The Mood is the first look into Gill’s forthcoming album Still Winning set for release this fall featuring production by Grammy Award Winning Producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, Bryan Michael Cox and Wyclef Jean. Troy Taylor who signed Trey Songz and executive produced his CD’s is also a producer on the album.
