Johnny Gill releases 'A Dance, A Kiss' May 22

Johnny Gill released “A Dance, A Kiss” on May 22, with streaming platforms and multiple R&B outlets carrying the single a day before his 60th birthday. Apple Music lists it as a one-song release with a three-minute runtime, while YouTube metadata says it was issued by JSkillz Entertainment. Rated R&B, SoulTracks and YouKnowIGotSoul each reported that Snoop Dogg and Priest “Soopafly” Brooks produced the track. ### Where is the release actually showing up? Spotify and Apple Music both list “A Dance, A Kiss” as a 2026 Johnny Gill single, confirming that the song is live on major streaming services. The Spotify album page identifies it as a one-track single, and Apple Music lists the release date as May 22, 2026. YouTube’s auto-generated release page adds the most detailed public credits. (music.apple.com) The platform says “A Dance, A Kiss” was released on May 22 under JSkillz Entertainment and names Snoop Dogg and Priest “Soopafly” Brooks as producers. ### Who is credited on the song besides Johnny Gill? YouTube metadata for the song credits Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. — Snoop Dogg’s legal name — as composer and lyricist. (open.spotify.com) SoulTracks reported that Gill co-wrote the single with Broadus, Brooks and Justin Randall Keitt. The Urban Music Scene, which also posted the release, gave the same producer pairing and said the song was penned by Johnny Gill, Broadus, Brooks and Keitt. (youtube.com) That consistency across platform credits and outlet write-ups gives the clearest public picture so far of who handled the record. ### Is Snoop Dogg the only producer attached? (youtube.com) Rated R&B reported that “A Dance, A Kiss” was produced by Snoop Dogg and Soopafly, not by Snoop alone. SoulTracks and The Urban Music Scene matched that credit, and the YouTube release page also lists both men as producers. That matters because some early write-ups highlighted Snoop Dogg most prominently. The fuller credits published across streaming-linked sources show Priest “Soopafly” Brooks is also named in the production.

Rated R&B said the single arrived as Gill celebrated his 60th birthday and described it as his first solo release since “One Night.” Apple Music’s artist page lists “One Night” as a single released on Aug. 22, 2025, and also shows a 2026 music video for that song. (ratedrnb.com) Urban Bridgez and other R&B outlets tied the new release to Gill’s recent Billboard success, saying it followed “One Night,” which they described as a chart-topping record. (youtube.com) In separate coverage, Rated R&B noted Gill’s last visit to No. 1 before that came in 2022 on Charlie Wilson’s “No Stoppin’ Us,” which also featured Babyface and K-Ci Hailey. ### What are the first descriptions of the song saying? (ratedrnb.com) SoulTracks described “A Dance, A Kiss” as a smooth ballad centered on first contact on the dance floor. Rated R&B called it “seductive,” while YouKnowIGotSoul described it as a sultry, mid-tempo follow-up to “One Night.” Those descriptions come from music outlets, not Billboard chart data or Gill’s own full release statement. (ratedrnb.com) But across the early coverage, the common thread is consistent: the song is being framed as an adult R&B record built around intimacy, dancing and close-range storytelling. ### What can listeners watch for next? Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube already host the single, giving listeners the first official release points to track. (soultracks.com) Apple Music also shows a “One Night” video in Gill’s catalog, which suggests any next step for “A Dance, A Kiss” would likely surface first through the same platform pages and Gill’s release partners.
