singing legends who agree to participate in a

opens Friday, Nov. 7.
Legend Inspired with New CD
John Legend has released a
new album, “Evol ver” that’s any
thing but nostalgic, taking a
change in direction from the ur-'
ban-tinged midtempo songs from
his 2(XM debut, "Get Lifted" or the
60s inspired tracks and lush in
strumentation from his “Once
Again" CD in 2006.
"The tempo is faster than I've
done before," he said. “It will be
different for people, because
'Evolver' has a bit more instru
mentation than I've used before.
But it’s not like you won't recog
nize the artist — it's still me.”
After selling more than 3 mil
lion records in the United States,
Legend is banking that fans will
embrace his new sound.
From its bouncy introduction,
Singer John Legend rehearses last August before the start of
the Democratic National Convention in Denver.

tion, visit historicreserve.org.
o
it's clear that Legend's first single,
"Green Light," which features
Andre 3000of OutKast, isn't in his
traditional style. The track boasts
a galactic spin with electronic keys
and shooting-star sound effects
over a quick two-step drum beat.
"Good Morning," in which the
singer begs a lover for one last roll
in the hay before she starts her
morning commute, is Legend's
favorite "Evolver" cut. An instru
mental of the track opens the al
bum, and the full cut closes it.
"My songs are always about
love and devotion," Legend said.
" 'Good Morning' is about sex
more explicitly than I've written
about before. Sooner or later I had
to go R. Kelly on my fans... with
out going all the way."
