6. Bigger Love (2020)
“This album is stock John Legend – his throw-back silky voice and impeccable falsetto always end up sounding epic and enduring. He always has several songs on each album that could have longevity as part of a movie soundtrack, in commercials, etc. Although this album has more than its fair share of what I call “sexy time music” he makes lyrics that might feel lewd coming out of someone else’s mouth feel lofty, elegant…aspirational even.”
5. Darkness And Light (2016)
“Excellent sound. Different from his older catalogue, but more upbeat and spacey. Nice guest list. Overall a worthwhile listen. “Surfire” and “Temporary Painless” were standout tracks on first listen.”
4. Evolver (2008)
This album is not a guilty pleasure but one that you enjoy over and over again. The variety of songs, the musical arrangements, vocals, guest artists make this CD a great one. Listen to the CD as a whole and you will be surprised by the range and musical competency of the artist. It is one of the best of the year!”
3. Love In The Future (2013)
“Love In The Future is definitely music for lovers and the soul… John Legend delivered yet another fabulous album that I love to listen to in its entirety. I lost my husband earlier this year and find that Love In The Future reflects my process of healing the lover inside of me. Open Your Eyes pays homage to relationship endings and beginnings, with an upbeat tempo and soulful vocals of Legend that kind of makes “rebound love” a little more accepting and attractive.”
2. Once Again (2006)
“Once Again is an album to be enjoyed alone, with family or friends of all ages, and for any mood you may be in. Those who prefer the hip-hop flavor he had last time around may not enjoy it as much; but for those who enjoy sultry vocal storytelling set to flawless arrangements, you will be ‘jazzed’ for Once Again.
1. Get Lifted (2004)
“This album is a classic modern soul album. Legend’s voice is excellent and lends itself well to the songs he sings. His talent as a songwriter is also high-quality. The album itself is very cohesive, flowing well, and maintaining energy throughout. It’s quite well crafted. This is an album both for the masses and for the more critical listeners.”
