john-legend-covers-fault-magazine-exclusive-videoLegend appears on the cover of the February 2013 issue of Fault magazine. He talks about his advice to younger performers, his musical influence, and his plans for 2013.

Well, when I was younger, lots of soul music: Motown and artists like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Nat King Cole [and] Luther Vandross. Then, when I was a bit older (in my early teens), artists and groups like Jodeci had a big influence on me.

Who Do We Think We Are

0 Comments

Legend releases the music video for Who Do We Think We Are, directed by Paul Gore. The song features Rick Ross and is off of Legend’s album Love In The Future.

The song has a few themes. The pre-chorus says, “I’m not afraid to fly” and “We’re not afraid to die.” Obviously that’s embracing the idea of risk-taking, not only in love but also in life. Not being afraid to pursue your dreams to the fullest. Not being afraid to live out your fantasies in life, and embrace some risks of falling. And so, that’s really what the song is about, and some of the lyrics kind of celebrate decadence and luxury, and enjoying your success, and obviously we played on those lyrics quite a bit and made what I think is a very beautiful and artistic video that’s also very sexy, and high-fashion and luxurious.

Seacrest interviews Legend during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his single All Of Me. 

I wrote it a couple years ago and then when I came home I said, ‘I wrote a really good song baby I think you’re going to love it.’ And I sang it to her and she started crying, so I knew it would be a special song and then I sang it at our wedding and a lot of people have been using it at their weddings.
