Info for LEGEND

John Legend, EGOT-winning singer/songwriter, releases his eighth album, "Legend". The album consists of two albums, including 24-track, featuring guest appearances from Amber Mark, Free Nationals, Jada Kingdom, Jazmine Sullivan, Jhené Aiko, JID, Ledisi, Muni Long, Rapsody, Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign and Saweetie.

“I'm so thrilled to be releasing new music,” says John Legend. “The past year or so has been so exciting for me creatively. I have been writing and collaborating with some of the most talented people in music, and we have some great new material to share with the world. (John Legend)

In a press release, Legend details the album as “an unapologetic spirit of sensuality and joy, informed by the full vulnerability of pain, praise, and healing.” He goes on to say “Until this point, I’ve never used an aspect of my name as the title of an album,” Legend said in a statement about embracing his iconic name for the first time in an album title. “I had to earn that, to live up to it by delivering in the performance and the music. And this is me saying I’m proud of who I am, I’m confident in the work I’ve done, and I’m just going to declare it.”

Executive produced by Legend and Ryan Tedder, this vibrant project is suffused with an unapologetic spirit of sensuality and joy, informed by the vulnerability of pain, praise and healing.

“I'm so thrilled to be releasing new music,” says Legend. “The past year or so has been so exciting for me creatively. I have been writing and collaborating with some of the most talented people in music, and we have some great new material to share with the world. ‘Dope’ is one of my favorites. I love the energy of the song. I loved collaborating with my gifted co-writers and producers, and J.I.D is one of my favorite emerging artists in hip-hop. I hope the song can be a part of people's soundtrack for this summer.”

Legend has garnered twelve Grammys, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a Tony, and an Emmy, making him the first African-American man to earn an EGOT. Legend has released seven celebrated albums over the course of his career and recently launched his critically-acclaimed Las Vegas Residency Love In Las Vegas, which began in April 2022 at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. In 2018, Legend starred in NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert, winning an Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special and nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor (Limited Series). He joined the Emmy-nominated show The Voice for Season 16 and most recently wrapped Season 21 as coach. John is also a partner in Get Lifted Film Co., serving as an Executive Producer for Giving Voice, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, Atlanta’s Missing And Murdered: The Lost Children, and more.

As a philanthropist, Legend initiated the #FREEAMERICA campaign in 2015 and most recently, founded the initiative, HUMANLEVEL, which is igniting systematic change and building racial equity across American cities and communities.

Walker Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award.
