He is so smooth and continues to right things you can move too or just chill too. He knows just when to bring in different instruments and knows when to take it solo. So talented and his work speaks for him.
This album is not a guilty pleasure but one that you enjoy over and over again. The variety of songs, the musical arrangements, vocals, guest artists make this CD a great one. Listen to the CD as a whole and you will be surprised by the range and musical competency of the artist. It is one of the best of the year!
everyone liked my album i bought john legend once again i like this one my favorite song is i love you love i give it 4 out of 5 stars because i dont like brandy.
Legend drops another solid album to further evolve his career. This album is a mixture of different styles of songs and different styles of singing. The mixture ranges from club songs (GREEN LIGHT), reggae songs (NO OTHER LOVE, TAKE ME AWAY), acoustic (EVERYBODY KNOWS), and slow love songs (GOOD MORNING, QUICKLY, I LOVE YOU LOVE) . Legend sounds the best over the reggae tracks and the acoustic tracks. Good guest appearances also with Andre 3000, Estelle, and Brandy. In my opinion this album is better than his second but still can't touch the first. Highly recommended.

John Legend is one artist that I would sign to my record label provided that I had one. He has the look, the uniqueness, and, most importantly, the talent. All of his albums are worth purchasing. The best thing about him is the fact that he can be appreciated by the younger audience as well as the "grown folks." People just love him. What probably gave him some free publicity is the fact that Kanye West basically put him on the forefront and let him spread his wings; now he flies confidently in solitude. Sure, Kanye usually throws a rap on a song for him with most of his LPs, but John Legend can surely stand on his own two feet.
I was very entertained with "Evolver." He can definitely call himself that because he does do different things, yet he always gives us that classic sound which includes his great voice and much use of an instrument called piano. "Green Light" was well-received by music listeners. Legend caught us off guard with this up-tempo track which features the wonderful Andre 3000 of OutKast. "Green Light" has such a fine melody, perhaps that is why this song is so radio-friendly. The second release was "Everybody Knows." I can recall my brother continually playing that song and telling me to listen to it closely. I could not get into it at first, but now I certainly like it, especially when he says, "Nobody has it easy." Oh what a sweet love song "Good Morning" is. This song has a laid back feel and is very well produced. My girl Brandy comes as a surprise on this album, but it was such a pleasant surprise because I like just about anything she does. She and Legend both hold their own on this track. She really has progressed vocally over the years and for that, she should be commended. A job well done to Midi Mafia for producing a fine number for the two.
Ladies and gentlemen, do pick up this album along with "Get Lifted" and "Once Again." They are all worth the investment.
