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 the highest standard. As well as all the upbeat 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 having a few favourites which i play but 'Get Lifted' if one of the few album's which i can honestly say i love from start to finish. I would reccommend anyone to go out and buy this. It is a perfect album to listen to in the car going home from work to destress after a hard day.
Definately the best album i have bought for a long time.
