John Legend has developed into one of the most loved soul singers of his generation, and one of the few to be able to get play on R&B, pop, UAC and even smooth jazz radio. He’s won them all over with his gentle piano, great songwriting, and that voice.
Legend has just quietly released a song for the Winter season. “Under the Stars” is a beautiful ballad that is just right for the holidays, and it boasts an unusual duet partner: the stars themselves. Listen closely in the background toward the end of the song and you can hear amplified sounds eminating from stars, recorded by scientists.
With or without his celestial accompaniment, John Legend has created a very nice song for the holiday season. It is our new SoulTracks First Listen.
