It may appear that John Legend hasn’t been doing much since his last project four years ago but that is quite the contrary. The “Get Lifted” singer released a collaborative album with The Roots in 2010 called ‘Wake Up’ which also featured Common and Melanie Fiona. He toured last summer with Sade and got engaged to model Chrissy Teigen. Most recently, he appeared on the new music competition series Duets and contributed to the soundtrack for the hit film, Think Like a Man.
So now the soul music crooner is ready to release new material. He recently spoke to The Grio about his new project and the growth he’s experienced over these past years.
“I’ve just grown a lot and learned a lot. I’ve experienced more in my relationships; I’m engaged now…I think that experience will come through in my lyrics. And I think I’ve grown as a musician and as a singer, but I’m still working with a lot of the same producers I was working with back then, so we’ll try to capture that magic from Get Lifted and Once Again, but bring it to the future.”
Legend says that he is in the studio working with his buddy Kanye West, No I. D. and the Stereotypes and will release a new single within the next month or two. Fans can expect the full project to hit stores in the winter.
