Introducing John Legend

John Legend is a popular African-American artist who carries sounds that are familiar from the periods of the 1920s and 1930s. His style sounds more jazz/soul and his voice is originally enticing. I enjoy all of his songs because they have a great rhythm to them and I never get tired of listening to his voice. This fits into a classical Afro-Amer song because of his use of call and response, motives, and syncopation.

John Legend is great! I really liked his album Get Lifted. But I haven’t heard his newer album, is it any good?

I so love John Legend. I saw him perform with Corine Bailey Rae and John Mayer on a music awards show. They are all young artists, but are keeping the past alive by turning younger listeners on to similiar sounds.
