John Legend has done nothing but awe his fans over and over again. From “Used To Love You” to one of his latest hits, “Tonight (Best You Ever Had)”, the soulful crooner continues to make us fall in love with him with every song that he delivers. Now, 5 years after his last album Evolver, Legend is preparing for the September 3 release of his fourth studio album, Love In The Future.
In a recent interview with Billboard, JL spoke about his the upcoming album, as well as his new Chevy Impala campaign. Chevrolet, most recently known for taking some of today’s biggest artists and lacing their commercials with their tracks, did more than an exceptional job with choosing Mr. Legend for their 2014 Chevy Impala campaign.
Stating to Billboard during the filming of the commercial back in May, “Growing up in a family of autoworkers in the Midwest, I’m very sensitive to the fact that we want to support great American manufacturers that are making our cars,” Legend noted being apart of this campaign hit home for him. Making its debut on television and in movie theaters on June 28, John states: “I thought it was an exciting thing to support this classic brand being reinvigorated. The car’s beautiful and I’m excited to represent it.”
On his upcoming Love In The Future album, John mentioned that he was executive producer of the well-anticipated record along with Kanye West and Dave Tozer. Other hit-makers mentioned as contributors to the project are Hit-Boy, Da Internz, DJ Camper and more. He states, “We made something I think really presents where I am in my life right now. Lyrically, the title kind of embraces where I’m heading in life, I’m about to get married. It’s the beginning of something new, I’m optimistic about it, and you can hear that in the tone of the tracks. I wanted to make a really great modern soul album.”
