John Legend - Legend 2LP (MARKDOWN)
Two Act Double Album Recalls the Sensual Pleasures of Saturday Night and the Soulfulness of Sunday Morning Multi-platinum artist and EGOT winner John Legend delivers his highly anticipated eighth studio album, Legend. Executive produced by Legend and prolific producer-writer Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé, Adele), the vibrant double album is suffused with an unapologetic spirit of sensuality and joy, informed by the full vulnerability of pain, praise and healing. ACT I recalls vividly the worldly, sensual pleasures of Saturday night – full of lust, self, sex and adventure. It opens with "Rounds", an immersive joint featuring Rick Ross, an artist with whom Legend has collaborated perhaps more than any other. Other tracks include the smoldering R&B bedroom romp "Splash" featuring Jhene Aiko and rapper Ty Dolla $ign, "Dope," a "summery, feel-good track" featuring rapper JID (Rolling Stone) and "Love," featuring Jazmine Sullivan, whom Legend has known since she was a young artist.
