Evolver

I am really pleased with the John Legend Evolver album release. I think it's a great album which I will always enjoy!

I will never let any of these reviews persuade me into wasting money again. I'm beginning to believe there are some inside people writing the reviews. I cant believe this album has over 1 star and that star would only be for the GREEN LIGHT single. The only good songs on the album is when he is featuring someone else, so that makes it a total of what? 3 good songs enough to make the necessary amount of videos to fool more innocent people into buying his cd . This album is definitely not better than the last, maybe the 1st, which again only had one good single. We don't need to be settling for albums like this in these ruff times, artists need to start picking it up, QUICK!

Well album titles should have a purpose and this one definately does. Evolver which means moving forward in change. This does not mean that the classic sound and vibe is not present but just in a different light. With songs like Take Me Away, Satisfaction, and Cross The Line there is a popular music element but still in the same classic soulful Legend sound. Everybody Knows is more like his previous classic releases lyrically and of so true. No Other Love/W Estelle is especially groovy with a raggae tinge. Andre 2000 w Green Light, the uptempo, first single release leads you into a string of hits. Brandy teams up with the Legend on Quickly and does not disappoint. Kanye with "It's Over" collaborate on this project adding more depth and dimension.

Good Morning is of so extra-special with it's best intentions , much like I Love You, Love. "This Time" is so big and beautiful, Legend is singing his haart out and hittin notes all over the place. They both speak volumes to and from the heart.

"If your Out There", Legend's speaks to the world, promoting peace, love, unity and togetherness; which is consistent with the types of songs he writes. I definately hope that this song will be a part of the inauguration because it is the song/sound of these times.

I am truly wondering what those who stated or implied "Legend on decline" are listening too. I feel like you never understood the artist's work in the first place. This project is Legend at his best and culminates his style impeccably . I truly hope he does not read those reviews and take any stock. Listen to the lyrics and the sound; you will discover John's Legendary sound. This is an Evolutionary Classic, Don't Be Dismayed. This is definately a collector's item.

Evolver is such a totally awesome CD. I've been a fan for several years and he has yet to disappoint me. While this album is somewhat different than his others I don't see what's wrong with that if the music remains great, and it does. I love "Green Light" with Andre 3000!

I have to be honest, I've never really listened to John Legend's music before, but he performed a beautiful song on Bill Maher's show "Real Time" and then a different song on Ellen. I loved both! Since there were two songs off the same album that I really liked, I thought there would probably be several more, and there were. It's a wonderful collection of music and I'm so glad I bought this CD.
