• Poetically Justified showcases several guest appearances from some of Johnson's musician friends. R&B vocalist Miles Jaye lends his soulful voice to "Capice" and "Heaven", and R&B siren Maysa (of Incognito fame) is featured on two tracks, one of which, "Master of My Heart" (in collaboration with writer-producer Robbie McDonald), is currently in heavy rotation on adult-contemporary radio station WHUR-FM in Washington, DC. Jazz heavy-hitter Najee adds his sultry sax sounds to the upbeat and rhythmic "I See You." These powerful tracks combined with Johnson's masterful cover of Michael Jackson's "This Place Hotel" (first single off CD) and his funky turn on the CD opener, "Chillaxin", will no doubt wow Johnson's loyal fans and earn Johnson yet another appearance on the Billboard charts. Poetically Justified is available at FYE, Borders, Barnes & Noble, Walmart and Best Buy.
