illustrates that John Legend is up to being
mentioned in the same breath as Stevie Wonder and
Marvin Gaye, by way of R. Kelly and Jay-Z. Direct
comparisons are redundant however as Get Lifted is
a sparkling diamond of an original. Legend blends
soul, R n B and hip-hop with a dash of Motown and
gospel that will, as the title suggests, lift your
spirits and revive your faith in beautifully
crafted lyrics and talented musicianship. Legend's
reputation precedes him, having worked with
artists such as Alicia Keys and Kanye West, and he
seizes this moment in the spotlight with both
hands. Get Lifted is a sort of relationship rite
of passage. It encompasses the strutting, boastful
unfaithfulness of a lad-about-town in "She Don't
Have To Know" ("When I meet you/ Got my shades on
to cover up my eyes/ Hoping that no-one sees me
passing by") to a man who grows a conscience in
"Number One" ("I've been playing around but now
I'm coming home") and a repentant "I Can Change"
("I gave up all those girls I used to knowÂ?Take
me to the river and baptise my soul."). On the way
are such gems as "Ordinary People", a haunting
piano ballad that soars with its heartfelt melody,
and "Stay With You"--a perfect showcase for
Legend's vocal versatility. Get Lifted pulls off
that rare feat of being both upbeat and thoughtful
and Legend's audience will no doubt echo the
sentiment in the last track - "We're flying
high/Don't want to come down" - after hearing this
sublime debut. --Amy Anderson

Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1) by oi_nutter2000

Advantages: Brilliant, fresh fusion of Soul and Hip-Hop. Amazing talent.
Disadvantages: erm.......

John Legend Get Lifted ----------------------------------- Introduction ---------------------- I was introduced to John Legend by listening to a Talib Kweli song Around My Way. When I heard that particular song for the first time I just had to check out the singer featured on it - the vocals are that good. Having since bought John Legends Album, Get Lifted, I have also done a bit of research to find out where he came from. I found that Kanye ...
...make his own album. Get Lifted - My first impressions --------------------------------------------- Having pressed the play button I was immediately immersed by John Legends own breed of Soul/ R&B. It's the kind of album that you can almost drift away to. Legends' voice, in my humble opinion, shares the same level of quality as the likes of D'Angelo, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. This enables his music to touch you in a way that many couldn't. ... Read review

Legendary Album
Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1) by temisana

Advantages: ONE GOOD TRACK AFTER ANOTHER
Disadvantages: N/A

...well as the Album, ' Get Lifted', John Legend is five star, from his voice to the lyrics. I AM ADDICTED TO THIS ALBUM! This album is outstanding and one of my personal favourites, as soon as I heard it I fell in love with it. I never had to skip a track, each song was good and it was as if there was a story he was telling from one track to the other. John Legend's music is a mixture of Jazz, Soul and R n' B, I think he is exceptionally talented ...
...to his piano. 2. Get Lifted - The drums and the piano here are exceptional. It is between fast and slow. I wished this one had come out as a single because the instrumentals are brilliant. 3. Used to Love you - The first single released in the UK, this was a definite hit and very good. About material things that people seek for in a relationship. Thought provoking. 4. Alright - This is the beginning of a story as you would find out, Tracks 4 - ... Read review

John LEGENDARY
Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1) by jimmydel

Advantages: Melodic, cool, soulful and deep
Disadvantages: Absolutely none

Where do you start reviewing the single most refreshing album of the year? The former gospel singer has produced one of the finest examples of a debut major label album this millenium, and before! Used to Love U is a fantastically uplifting track which sets the tone for the remainder of the album. Ordinary people is a mellow, yet outstandingly truthful track, revealing his approach to love, establishing a moral code for us all. Even if some tracks ...
...Kanye West, which glorifies his player lifestyle, they work because of the frankness and honesty behind them, tracks which provide a discourse marker for the dialogue of the album. Personal favourites are It don't have to change, a song about perennial family values, and the outstanding Stay with You, the epitome of a chillout track which combines his perpetual love with a mellow beat and smooth undertones. All in all a fantastic album which belies ... Read review

Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1) by omaame

Advantages: cant be compared to anything else
Disadvantages: a few songs that shouldnt be on the album

This is John Legends debut album. yet it his not his first installment into the industry, as he has featured and done the bv's on many tracks including Alicia Keys 'You don't know my name', jay Z's 'Encore' and Slum village 'Selfish' to name a few. On this album john collaborates with urban allstars like 'Snoop' and 'Kanye'. This album is a good mellow album, but it also has a lot of songs that make you think, like 'Ordinary people'. John legends ...
...also a few about life in general. The lyrics are very strong and well thought about and even on paper the lyrical content is fantastic. if that wasn't enough he then delivers this great words with a strong very trained soulful voice, his gospel roots are truly reflected throughout this whole album. Including songs like 'Used to Love you' which was his first single to be released from the album. This song is a great unexpected mid tempo track; the ... Read review

Lift me up
Review of Get Lifted - John Legend (1) by killiefan

Advantages: Uplifting album, brilliant voice and music
Disadvantages: None

I bought this album last week without knowing much about John Legend. I had only really heard the superb 'Ordinary People' but that was enough to make me decide on my purchase. It's fair to say that the album has not had a rest since as this soulfull collection is totally uplifting and a joy to listen to. I have played it non stop both at home and in the car. As well as a short prelude there are another thirteen tracks which follow and are all of ...
...song's there are a couple in the middle which are slower including the excellent ' Stay with you'. Legend's voice is brilliant and his music on the piano excellent. John Legend has written all the track's to a very high standard and the album features guest appearances from Kanye West, Snoop Dogg and Miri Ben-Ari. The album is on the Kanye West label and Kanye also produces all the tracks. John Legend co-produces. Usually on any album i end up ... Read review
