Supremely smooth-singing, piano-playing EGOT winner John Legend is sure to solidify his LEGEND even further with his eighth studio album, out now via Republic/Universal and available to hear in its entirety in the players below.
A 24-track, double-disc effort, LEGEND features its titular star teaming up with the likes of Rick Ross, JID, Free Nationals, Ty Dolla $ign, Jhené Aiko, Jazmine Sullivan, Saweetie, Rapsody and more.
The album was executive produced by Legend and OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder, and it is described in a release as an effort "suffused with an unapologetic spirit of sensuality and joy, informed by the full vulnerability of pain, praise and healing."
"Until this point, I've never used an aspect of my name as the title of an album," Legend shared in a statement. "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."
