First Listen: Norman Brown grants our “Wish” on new song

(April 1, 2026) Norman Brown is entering a point of his life where he appreciates the calm and quiet moments. Simplicity has mental and physical health benefits, but it’s also a good way to recharge the creative batteries. “Sometimes the best way to recharge is to simply step away from the noise and reconnect with yourself,” says the Grammy winning and top selling guitarist.

“I Wish You,” Brown’s new single from his latest album Authentically Norman, takes listeners to that relaxing place. Along the way, listeners are treated to one of contemporary jazz’s most creative innovators. “I Wish You” showcases Brown’s improvisational skills and their interplay with the vocals of Wirlie Morris.

Morris brings the same credentials as a talented and in demand performer to his vocals that Brown brings to the guitar, having worked with legends like Charlie Wilson, Boyz II Men and Destiny’s Child, just to name a. few.

“I Wish You” is a song that has a wedding day feel. Check out guitarist Norman Brown’s latest single, “I Wish You,” featuring vocalist Wirlie Morris here.
