Background

The album was first announced on July 23, 2019.[4] Paul, which follows 2017's Gumbo Unplugged, was described by Morton to be "the most honest expression of myself and my art that I've ever made". "Everybody calls me PJ, but I came into this world as Paul. That struck me as the perfect title for this album because Paul is the purest form of who I am." According to Morton, Gumbo was originally set to be his last album, but his move back to his hometown re-inspired him. "I was struggling to figure out who I wanted to be and where I could fit in as a solo artist, and it honestly left me feeling pretty defeated" he said. "Coming back to New Orleans inspired a lot of new growth and perspective, though, and it helped me realize that the best thing I could be was myself."[5]
