R&B crooner John Michael is set to drop his latest project just in time for all the lovers looking for a proper soundtrack for their Valentine’s Day. Michael’s #NewJackThing Part One mixtape is not only intimate mood music to set the evening off right, but it also serves as an homage to the music of “New Jack Swing” performers like Keith Sweat, Guy, and Bell Biv DeVoe.

DZI: The Voice tapped John Michael to share more about his inspirations and concepts for a few songs from NJTP1 in Vol 7 of Track Down.
