John Legend Displays Music Versatility In Powerful New Album “Bigger Love”

I think it’s safe to say that John Legend is one of those beloved, timeless artists with wide appeal. Grandma’s love him. Kids can listen to him. He voice sounds great on Christmas albums. And what makes him and his new album “Bigger Love” so impressive, is his clear dedication to longevity in the music industry. It’s clear that he not only understands the importance of adopting new sounds in order to keep his music fresh and current, but he and his team are so talented, that they’re able to do so seamlessly and without it sounding ‘forced’. For the die-hard fans, “Bigger Love” delivers the classic soulful sounds that made him famous. But for new adopters, he offers a versatile array of 808’s, lyrical trap, dance-hall beats and vocal pads to create that cinematic ‘larger than life’ chorus that modern day pop fans know and love.

And it couldn’t come at a better time. Having become a prominent liberal voice on Twitter, his seventh album “Bigger Love” feels more relevant than ever, due to recent events in America. Songs like “Never Break” pray for solidarity and songs like “Actions” ask for bigger moves to be made to communicate love. Contributions to the albums songwriting and production include beloved names like Raphael Saadiq, Rhapsody, Cautious Clay and Mr Hudson. “Bigger Love” is what happens when a wealth of talent puts their heads together to create a masterpiece during such a turbulent time in our world. Much like his past work, John Legends new album will be played and loved for decades to come.
