Johnny P’s Sing You My Story album was released online as a digital album through DatPiff (a mixtape streaming website) on the date of 10/21/2015. Johnny P sings to us the story of his life on this album of his similar to an autobiography of someone. His vocals change with the fresh lyrics. His vocal change when singing the lyrics is remarkable. This is grown folks music.
He is the Sam Cooke of this generation. Johnny P (John Pigram) was one of Chicago’s most underrated singers who did not get the recognition or shine truly deserved. Sadly he never received any mainstream recognition. This R&B album suffered from a lack of promotion. It's sad where good music has gone to.
Johnny P tells us about his struggle on the song Struggle. Be it right or wrong. Everything about this song is so real from start to finish. The song has a New Age type of vibe due to the piano solo playing in the background as Johnny sings. New Age meets soul music on Struggle.
A piano kicks off the song to boot. Here Johnny is looking at a picture of his wife. He is thinking, “How could she ruin our lives?” He never imagined he would be here holding back the tears. They were only married for 3 years. It turns out his wife was cheating on him with another man. Johnny is in disbelief. Somebody should have told Johnny not to love her or trust. Johnny does not know if he’ll ever love again.
Here Johnny is looking at a picture of his kid. Wondering how did things turn out the way they did. He never imagined he would be here holding back the tears. The wife is preventing the child from seeing their father. How could this be?
Damn was the buzz single for this album which was released in 2012. The music video was uploaded onto YouTube the same year. The song has a mellow vibe backed a single acoustic guitar. Sadly the song did not chart on the BillBoards. Johnny has some wonderful runs while singing.
Damn deals a woman who was dating Johnny while all along she was cheating on him with another man. He never imagined things would turn out in a such a manner. Now he doesn’t give a damn what she has to say anymore. He doesn’t want the woman he was dating to come back into his life.
A Womans Gotta Have It is a song for the fellas. He sings in the vocal harmony of Sam Cooke on this song. His runs are the best. Some of the musical notes copy musical notes from Nicole Wray - Dear Father.
Men have a tendency to forget what a woman needs every now and then. Johnny P gives men advice on how to keep a woman. Do the things that keeps a smile on her face. Tell her things that make her feel better on a daily basis. You can easily lose a woman if you don’t follow Johnny’s advice.
Don’t take her smiles for granted. Think it over. You have to make sure her voice is heard. A good love is not something to take for granted.
Winner is an original song composed by Johnny P. Winner is a song where Johnny convinces a woman he was dating to stay in his life.
The song begins with a drum roll. Electronic synths play appropriately afterwards. Johnny tells us, “You picked a winner.” 4 times.
A woman Johnny was dating is uncertain on whether or not to stay in his life. Johnny convinces this woman he needs her in his life. Johnny knows the woman he was dating could have played it safe and stuck with a sure thing. She could have walked away even though the odds were stacked up against us. She believed in him. All of their dreams are about to come true. Now each of them feel like a winner. He tells the woman, “You picked a winner.”
Some people gamble all their lives and never hit the numbers they play for. His luck turned out a different way because of her. They believe in each other. Now all of their dreams are about to come true. It seems as if all the bad luck missed them. It like the slot machine hit the right numbers.
Yo Body is a futuristic electronic sounding love song which experiments with electric synths. It’s much different from the average Johnny P song. Twista take control for the majority of this song. This song was originally from Twista - Category F5 from July 14, 2009.
Johnny P begs for a woman’s body during the intro and hook as well. Johnny sings, “Gurl I need yo body/I see you wit my body/Every time I see yo body/I say ooh ooh” “Now when I touch on yo body, babe/And when I grab on yo body, babe/When I feel on yo body, babe/I say ooh, oooh, oooh (Hell yeah)”
Twista re-introduces himself for the city of Chicago on Verse 1. Twista and his friend have 6 women with nice large asses. They was thick as hell, you understand me? He’s been drinking the finest most expensive liquor. Twista feels as if he might blackout due to the large volumes of Patron he has been drinking.
After a long night of drinking Patron, Twista wakes up to the morning light with his girl. They have an entire robbery planned out for the day or night. She is down with the same thang. Twista sprayed a lil cologne on the car seats and put the Gucci on the door seat before he left.
Now Twista is participating in a dice game. The dice game had him damn near broke. So he calls on his friends for more money. Suddenly Twista sees this woman he knows. He thinks she could be with police. So he plays himself off smooth and carefully. He told her to meet him in the Range Rover. He then tells her, “We ain't gettin money so I gotta go and change clothes”
Ain't no fucking wit the Twista, J.P, Do or Die! You are now wit the Category F5.
Try It Again has a polished studio sound with heavy hitting beats. Twista raps on this joint as well. Sometime a love looses control. Things spin out of place. As always love will make it somehow work out in the end.
In the song SuperStar, Johnny sings about how he wasted his time trying to be a superstar and singer. All he ever wanted was a woman to be his companion. He was out here in these streets trying to get that cash and trying to make the ends meet. Now he makes it rain. Dry your eyes. You don’t have to cry. Girl, it’s your turn to shine. She stayed by his side while he was on the grind. She deserves the world as she has always been down with him.
Yo Body is a futuristic electronic sounding love song which experiments with electric synths. It’s much different from the average Johnny P song. This song was originally from Twista - Category F5 from July 14, 2009.
Love in the Studio is laced with futuristic electronic synths over soulful singing. It’s much different from the average Johnny P song. It’ another futuristic electronic sounding love song.
I rate this album, 4/5****!
