Legendary R&B icon Johnny Gill returns with a slow-burning anthem, “One Night,” a track that reminds listeners why his incredible voice remains one of the genre’s most recognizable.
Released through the J Skillz Entertainment imprint, the single is now streaming worldwide and has surged with his fourth #1 Billboard top Adult R&B Airplay chart, marking another major milestone in Gill’s decades-long run.
“I’m extremely honored that R&B Radio continues to support my music and concerts, whether as a solo artist or with my New Edition brothers. I’m totally blessed that my current single “One Night” is the #1 song on the Billboard R&B Chart and hope that the message in this song encourages solid relationship connections,” mentions Johnny Gill.
Tender, mature, and unapologetically classic, “One Night” leans into the kind of heartfelt storytelling that defined ‘90s R&B, yet feels grounded in the present. Gill has made it clear he isn’t chasing trends—he’s embracing authenticity. The result is a record rooted in passion, grown-folks romance, and vocal excellence.
“Y’all wanted some grown & sexy and some R&B at its best, well, aka ‘lil baby Jesus/J. Skillz is in the building,” Johnny chuckles. “Real talk, my new single, “One Night”, is a song that is just traditional R&B, I did not try to chase or try to be trendy, I just decided that in the space and place that I am in, I wanted to just get back into recording and expressing myself creatively with music and this is where I am at, this is what it is for me right now and I hope that my fans really truly enjoy it. Time has changed, life has changed, the music industry has changed a lot, but you know what has not changed, my connection, my love, my passion for my music and my fans. I hope you guys continue to truly enjoy it,” Gill states.
