I’m a fairly new John Legend fan. A poster of his debut album caught my eye a long time ago but I never tried listening to his CD. Finally late last year I picked up his second album, loved it, then bought his first (which won 3 Grammies). Then I discovered he’s coming to Singapore this month!
His style is not heavy R&B but something more thoughtful and classy. One of my favourite songs is Ordinary People which is poignant but forward-looking. As a pianist I like how he’s incorporated the instrument in some of his songs. His voice is pleasant, rich and dignified. He’s not as esoteric as Maxwell but should have more popular appeal.
I’ve got two concert kakis already… JM and DSD. Yay!
