Includes: Darkness and Light - How Can I Blame You - I Know. 2016 album from acclaimed, multi-platinum selling, Oscar, Golden Globe and 10x Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter John Legend. There's "no need to justify looking for a little bit of love tonight," insists Legend, with all the force of an overexcited student in Temporarily Painless.Ĭomplete with seedy, squelching guitar and a Chance the Rapper guest turn, Penthouse Floor's invitation to "ride the elevator" seems to have just one destination in mind. A dozen piano, voice and guitar arrangements from Legends 5th studio album released in 2016. In a statement announcing Legend’s new album, Mills commented on what Darkness And Light is all about, claiming that the record focuses on important topics such as the singer-songwriter’s. Turns out, what Legend wanted to be doing all along was not crooning soppy piano ballads, but strutting charged, carnally-inspired R&B.
But it also zeros in on particular styles and themes closer to the author’s heart. The analogy works – the newer album is less ambitious and far-raging than its arc-soaring predecessor.
This time, by contemporary R&B standards, Legend is going grunge. Take note: 2013's Love in the Future featured a cast three times that size. If Darkness and Light is the raw and real Legend coming out to play, you might wonder why it took a cast of eight producers to bring its 12 tracks to life. So, this is Legend taking a long, hard look in the mirror, after the stratospheric success of global phenomenon of the 2013 single All of Me – destined to play at every wedding and Valentine's Day party until eternity.
