And the reason why is he has an amazing range, amazing emotional power in his voice. LEGEND: Well, Jeff Buckley for me is one of the greatest singers I've ever heard. You know…ĬHIDEYA: Tell us a little bit about who he is. LEGEND: Yeah, well, “Coming Home,” but even more so I think on Show Me you'll hear more of it. LEGEND: And that is one of my favorite albums too.ĬHIDEYA: And I hear a hint of that in “Coming Home.” But I think the vast majority of people see this album as growth from the first album, and I'm happy.ĬHIDEYA: You know, I read that one of your favorite albums is Jeff Buckley's Grace. I think the fans are really happy.Īnd there's some people that are like, eh, I wish you did it more like the first album. We've sold a lot of records of this next album. And I figure it would find the people that wanted to hear it. For me, it was just about making the best music I could make. And for this album, I think I was more experimental with bringing different sounds, bringing different producers in to, you know, just make it more eclectic and more interesting.ĬHIDEYA: You say you're not afraid to go there? Are you afraid your audience won't follow? So if something comes to me that's a reference from a different genre then people are used to hearing from me, I'm not afraid to go there with it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that.Īnd for me, when I'm making music, it's all in my head, and all those influences in my head. I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. LEGEND: Well, for me I just listen to all of that.

How do you blend these different traditions? I noticed kind of - words that come to mind are symphonic, folksy, old school, Brazilian. You know, with this album, once again, you have a wider range of influences…ĬHIDEYA: …than your first one. Good to be here.ĬHIDEYA: Yeah, it's great to have you here, because you seem so prolific and in some ways experimental. JOHN LEGEND (R&B Artist): It's good to be here. John Legend, thanks for coming over to NPR West. I recently caught up with him during his tour. Now Legend's got a new CD, Once Again, currently number four on Billboard's R&B/hip-hop charts. His debut CD, Get Lifted, garnered him three Grammies - best R&B album, best R&B male vocal performance and best new artist. A year later he released back-to-back hits Ordinary People and Used To Love U. In 2003, John Legend was an independent songwriter, performing and distributing his music himself.
