JOHN LEGEND

http://www.johnlegend.com/home.html
John Legend is about to drop his debut "Get Lifted" in 7 days (Dec. 28th). Doesnt everyone just love this guy!? Ever since "Ordinary People" hit the radio, I have been jonzin' for this dude's cd. Hes got a video called "Used to Love You" that is in heavy rotation on many of the video channels. Since DAngelo, Bilal, and Maxwell have taken long breaks, its so nice to quinch my thirst for authentic soul music with this brother from Chicago. You all have got to get this cd. Its going to be fire! What do you all think of JOHN LEGEND?

If he ain't a wild Motherfucker like Prince was, I could care less about him. The last thing we need now is another Neo-Soul guy trying to play it safe.

Sounds like a recycled Carl Thomas to me, but I do like the "Ordinary People" track. The rest of the album is boo boo trash.

Yes, but is this guy gonna save Soul music, or is he just another sucker trying to make a buck?


For real, yo, I need a savior of Soul music right now.

The latter.

The one who have the potential to save soul music are too scared to really take it back to what it was all about...ANALOG INSTRUMENTS. Sure a Rhodes or clavinet is cool, but not over an Akai MPC 3000 programmed beat.

These record execs need to go back to the church to find their "next saviors." lol

Truth be told, the coolest part about the song was the sampled drum kit, which gave it some energy.

well i do like the "used to love you" song and the video. I love the piano and the drum track on the song. He is quite talented. I don't think people are giving him enough credit, or maybe he hasn't proven himself yet. But i do know when his album drops on the 28th, i'll be there to get it...
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
