Legendary R&B icon and multi-platinum recording artist Johnny Gill has officially released his latest single, “A Dance, A Kiss,” available globally today, May 22, 2026, across all major streaming and digital download platforms via his J Skillz Entertainment imprint.
The sultry, mid-tempo track serves as the highly anticipated follow-up to his recent Billboard chart-topping hit, “One Night.” In a unique cross-genre collaboration, the new single features production from West Coast hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg alongside acclaimed producer Priest “Soopafly” Brooks. The track was co-penned by Gill, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (Snoop Dogg), Brooks, and Justin Randall Keitt.
Capturing the magnetic pull and perfect rhythm between two people, the record leans heavily into the mature, seductive R&B sound that has defined Gill’s solo career. The inspiration for the track arrived fresh off his recent nationwide run on “The New Edition Way Tour.”
“I love giving intimate storytelling through my music and this song is just that,” Gill shared regarding the new release. “You’re getting sexiness, seduction, and more! I was inspired to go back into the studio after I got back off the road with the tour. ‘A Dance, A Kiss’ makes everything unforgettable. Grown folks music!”
The release of “A Dance, A Kiss” aims to add another certified hit to Gill’s extensive catalog. As one of the most consistent vocalists in contemporary soul, his enduring commercial presence is backed by a formidable chart history.
Gill has placed seven of his solo albums on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Furthermore, he has amassed a staggering 27 Top 10 solo hits on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart throughout his career—ranging from classics like “Let’s Get the Mood Right” to modern successes like “One Night”—solidifying his undeniable impact on the soundtrack of modern R&B.
“A Dance, A Kiss” is available now for streaming and download worldwide.
