Cons: ends tooo Soon
Great Debut Album. John Legend has the talent to refresh an industry that used to be known world wide for its classic music and thought provoking emotions. I suggest you listen to the albulm from cover to cover for 4 or 5 times so that you can appreciate the true to life storyline. I expect many awards for this artist. With Kanye West powering this ship John Legend should get an opportunity to win many awards this upcoming year. Early Prediction: New Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and the other R & B awards. This Debut is stronger than Alicia Keyes "Songs in A Minor"...and she took home how many awards? My hat is off and much respect to John Legend! Just like Colin Powell as Sec. of Defense...I'm Gone!! ...

Pro Reviews: Get Lifted
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews If you've listened to Top 40 radio or flipped through the video channels during the past few years, odds are pretty good you know something about John Legend. He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and might as well be considered Kanye West's sidekick, having assisted the producer and MC on several sessions JayZ's "Encore" and Slum Village's "Selfish" being two of the more prominent 2004 singles featuring his work. A former choir director, he has also released a handful of energetic live discs, some of which are credited to his less hubristic birth name, John Stephens. And though he claims "I've got something new," you've also heard substantial chunks of Get Lifted in records made decades ago by Sly the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, and Bill Withers. This might not be a problem for listeners who crave anything that recalls the music they first heard in their youth, but Legend's overreliance upon his inspirations is an impediment as much as a slick way to grab attention. That's because he has more than enough talent and charm to get by on his own. His own lyrics and hooks are unique and clever enough to get the point across that he's no everyday RB artist and, just as importantly, he has a personable and instantly fetching voice you could listen to all day long. However, the association with West whose Sonydistributed boutique label released the record is very helpful. Without it, Legend would likely be zoned into neosoul (2003's Live at SOB's New York City really makes this notion apparent), thereby standing little chance of reaching the ears of anyone younger than 30. The production work supporting his songs strikes a fine balance between soul and hiphop, allowing him to appeal to those who are coming from either angle. This is a very good record. It's a given that Legend is destined to make at least two others that top it. - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide |
