.johnlegend previewed his 'Bigger Love' album featuring JheneAiko, rapsody, and originalkoffee prior to the project's release later this week.
finished recording his seventh studio album in February, he, like everyone, couldn't have imagined the state of society four months later, juggling both a global pandemic and a social revolution, with the police killing of George Floyd causing civil unrest in the streets of America.album earlier in June, Legend said that the stirring 16-track project's lyrics"feel different now, given the circumstances," but views part of his duty as an artist to"lift people up.
Outside of music, Legend might have a run for office in his future, as he and wife Chrissy Teigen have made a habit of using their platforms to speak out on political issues. "I'm inspired seeing such large crowds in the streets -- multi-racial coalitions standing up and saying 'Black Lives Matter,' and standing up against racism," thecoach states."I think that's a beautiful thing, and I think we're going to see change come from that."
The Ohio native called on a talented triumvirate of vocalists to complete the album, with each boasting a vastly different skill set.Let me in and hold me/ Hold me closer, I'll follow you up and over." Meanwhile, Legend heads to the islands to connect with the burgeoning Koffee for a reggae-tinged tune.
