John Legend

John Legend - Rolling in the Deep (Adele Cover)

Rolling in the Deep (Adele Cover)

I'll let you catch my heart, if you chased my soul.

Zoner [Demo] (prod by Jesse Boykins III)

If you've listened to Top 40 radio or flipped through the video channels during the past few years, odds are pretty good you know something about John Legend. He played piano on Lauryn Hill's "Everything Is Everything" and might as well be considered Kanye West's sidekick, having assisted the producer and MC on several sessions — Jay-Z's "Encore" and Slum Village's "Selfish" being two of the more prominent 2004 singles featuring his work. A former choir director, he has also released a handful of energetic live discs, some of which are credited to his less hubristic birth name, John Stephens. And though he claims "I've got something new," you've also heard substantial chunks of Get Lifted in records made decades ago by Sly & the Family Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Quincy Jones, and Bill Withers. This might not be a problem for listeners who crave anything that recalls the music they first heard in their youth, but Legend's over-reliance upon his inspirations is an impediment as much as a slick way to grab attention. That's because he has more than enough talent and charm to get by on his own. His own lyrics and hooks are unique and clever enough to get the point across that he's no everyday R&B artist and, just as importantly, he has a personable and instantly fetching voice you could listen to all day long. However, the association with West — whose Sony-distributed boutique label released the record — is very helpful. Without it, Legend would likely be zoned into neo-soul (2003's Live at SOB's New York City really makes this notion apparent), thereby standing little chance of reaching the ears of anyone younger than 30. The production work supporting his songs strikes a fine balance between soul and hip-hop, allowing him to appeal to those who are coming from either angle. This is a very good record. It's a given that Legend is destined to make at least two others that top it.

There is never a time , I don't want you 
but baby I need you right now
It could be the heat, or this 'Fever'
I need you to cool me down
drowning in thoughts of her passion
her kiss could cure my weak
gliding towards her apex I know she'll put me sound as sleep

I'm Super Super Restless
& I can't take it, & when I close my eyes
I see her Naked
I can't battle with what I've built up
I can't slumber without her love

There is never a night 
where you don't greet me 
but I need you before my dreams 
your graceful lust, how it treats me 
as if I were a KING
settle my thoughts with your out cum 
I'll hold you to feel the beat 
close your eyes while you touch me 
this pulse will help you sound asleep

you + me = sleep
and baby thats what I need 3x
baby I want to dream of us
as we make love 

I'm Super Super Restless
& I can't take it, & when I close my eyes
I see her Naked
I can't battle with what I've built up
I can't slumber without her love
