He is known as the male counterpart to Alicia Keys. We're talking about John Legend. He also plays piano on his singing, writes great lyrics and produces his songs also himself. Beside him sat on his debut and mentor Kanye West and will.i.am at the controls. The very first track "Get Lifted" leaves you wanting more. With the help of a great piano piece John running to peak performance, especially at the end of the song, on. One or the other is likely the single "Used To Love U" know. A great song with lots of groove and power, great vocals and lyrics that settle with ex. Some may be familiar with the second single "Number One" with Kanye West, the featurte in Germany instead of Kanye Max Herre. I like the album version much better, as John and his mentor Kanye simply perfect harmony, this is a fantastic instrumental that could convince a well to dream and to dance. Simply a fantastic song. Grandiose is "I Can Change" with Snoop Dogg. At first the track is a bit quieter, but increases with the course of the season. By the time Snoop begins to rap and gospel choir sings, tearing a right with this masterpiece and you do not want that the song ends. It is similar with "Ordinary People". Initially, there is also a little quieter, consists only of a slow piano and restrained vocals by John Legend. Both wins the middle of the song properly at power when John starts slightly faster to sing properly and skin in the keys. Without Piano comes from "Refuge (When It's Cold Outside)". It consists of a chilled and pleasant instrumental, in which pleasure to sit back, close your eyes and simply enjoy John's performance. After "Number One" and "I Can Change" we achieve with "It Do not Have To Change" my third favorite song from "Get Lifted". Again, John convinces with a quiet piano piece and his singing. He is supported by the powerful-voiced Stephens Family who make very emotional and impressive with their use the song. At the end of the drive there with the relaxed and pleasant to be heard "Live It Up" still a great conclusion of this very successful album. John Legend can almost always shine with beautiful melodies and sounds, but also with his lyrics and the vocals. In between, there is now and then a little more boring song though, but that makes the other class for it. I would rather call his kind of music as Soul rather than R'n'B, so maybe you should check it before time, when you're more of a fan of Usher and Co.. Highly recommended for those who are honest and well-produced music.
