evolution Jul 15, 2009
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.
Stand out tracks:
GOOD MORNING
TAKE ME AWAY
QUICKLY
EVERYBODY KNOWS
NO OTHER LOVE
*Gives John Legend the green light* Jun 18, 2009
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.
Mikeisha's Top 5
1. "Quickly"
2. "Green Light"
3. "Cross that Line"
4. "Good Morning"
5. "Everybody Knows"

An appropriate title... May 25, 2009
If there's one thing John Legend will never be accused of, it's resting on his laurels. If you bought his second album expecting it to sound like his first, you were probably disappointed. Likewise, if you listen to this album expecting it to sound like either of his first two, you will probably be disappointed. While I don't feel he has produced his masterpiece yet, all of his work is good for various reasons. That includes this album. He's not afraid to experiment; try new things; explore different boundaries. It shows his versatility and is, in my opinion, what makes an artist an artist. His continuing Evolution makes me wonder what his next album will be like; maybe he'll call it "Shape-Shifter".

I love all the songs on this CD, which is rare for me. This CD offers high quality music with a Modern vintage feel.
