John Legend lançou na passada sexta feira o novo álbum “Bigger Love” nos formatos físico e digital. Segundo John Legend, o mundo precisa de ser relembrado sobre o poder do amor e este sétimo álbum de estúdio é apenas isso.
“During these painful times, some of us may wonder if it’s ok to laugh or dance or be romantic”, diz Legend. “Lately, the images of black people in the media have been showing us with knees on our necks, in mourning, or expressing our collective outrage. We feel all those emotions. But It’s important for us to continue to show the world the fullness of what it is to be black and human. Through our art, we are able to do that. This album is a celebration of love, joy, sensuality, hope, and resilience, the things that make our culture so beautiful and influential”.
“Bigger Love” é um clássico de John Legend: cheio de soul, alegria, esperança, amor e carinho. O álbum de 16 faixas é uma mistura inebriante de pop-soul jubilante (“Bigger Love,” “I Do”, “Wild”), exuberante e sexy R&B (“U Move I Move,” “Slow Cooker,” “Favorite Place”), grooves hipnóticos inspirados pelo hip-hop (“Ooh Laa,” “Actions”) e as ponderosas baladas que são o pilar do seu trabalho (“Conversations in the Dark,” “Never Break”).
Com produção executiva a cargo de Raphael Saadiq, “Bigger Love” conta com a colaboração de nomes como Jhene Aiko, Koffee, Rapsody e Gary Clark Jr., bem como a co-escrita e trabalho de produção de Anderson .Paak, Oak Felder, Tayla Parx, Charlie Puth, Ryan Tedder, Teddy Geiger, DJ Camper, Ricky Reed, Julia Michaels, Digi, Cautious Clay, Di Genius, entre outros.
“I’m under no illusion that music can save the world or solve the world’s problems, but I’ve always turned to music to help me through tough times and I know many of you have done the same. That’s why I couldn’t wait to release this album to the world. I debuted in 2004 with an album called GET LIFTED. And now, as we enter the summer of 2020, I hope this new album can get you lifted again, fill your hearts with love and inspiration, give you something to dance to, something to hold hands to, something to make love to”.
