About
This album is a cross between old school soul, modern radio rap and neo-pop/hip-hop soul. So much of the musical tunes are jitty, jolly and catchy. John Legend may not be famous, but he's been all over the Top 40 for years, having worked with Lauryn Hill, [[Kanye West[[ and Jay-Z, to name a few. This record has finally put him on the music map. He has already achieved so many that it is only proper for him to release his debut.
