Get Lifted by John Legend

Pros: He's a musician first, singer second
Cons: Material can be immature and goofy, but it's charming at the same time

Very few artists are marketed perfectly. At times they are over marketed and when they aren't proven to be "the next big thing", they are tagged as a failure and slowly are driven right out of the picture. But there are some who are brought along ...

Pros: An excellent debut from a young male R&B vocalist. Sound familiar?
Cons: Nada, man!

Welcome to R&B world. You're a young male singer trying to make it big in the world of soul music. The days of legendary soul men: Marvin, Stevie, Otis, James, Teddy, Luther, Prince, Michael...is long gone. The only male R&B singers in supernova status ...

Pros: More than fifteen words could even begin to discuss
Cons: None, this album is fantastic from start to finish.

Once in awhile there comes a musician who manages to move everything forward and yet back all at the same time. Filled with stunning melodies and vocal arrangements, substantial lyrics and something wonderfully unique, Legend proves he's gonna be ...

Pros: Totally diggable in almost every way.
Cons: Sigh.

I thought for sure it must be a sample. That slithery guitar line on the song “Alright”, the one I remembered from that self-released live CD I bought off John Legend’s website a couple months ago, the one Dave Tozer played with such ...

Pros: incredible depth and range, covers his bases well, not much Kanye, normal guy swagger
Cons: I'm not him

The release date is one of the most important decisions an artist or record label can make about a project. For all of the promo, radio play and appearances one can make, nothing beats prime release real estate, especially when you’re a newer artist ...

Pros: Anything and everything
Cons: Nothing

This was a perfect time for John Legend to finally step into the spotlight. With the male contemporary R&B scene currently bordering on monotony, - the few artists who buck the trend don't recieve their needed attention - this was the perfect time for a ...

Pros: It's life within a CD case
Cons: Life has it's ups and downs

Sometimes we love change... sometimes we don't. Change can be good or bad. When something different comes along, it automatically doesn't mean it's great like many would like you to believe, but when something changes for the better, it's welcomed. Of ...

Pros: Soulfully unique voice; strong lyricism; soulful texture of album
Cons: NONE!

They say that should you ever make it to the top, you should always reach down and pull someone up with you. That's the reason why I think many artists have protégés. It's their way of giving back and showing that they're so ...

Pros: just about everything
Cons: Kanye's verse

John Legend's (ne John Stephens) sensational studio debut, Get Lifted, begins with the twinkling keys of Prelude over which Legend commands, "Come on and goooooooooo with me." At this point, even if you had intentions ...

Pros: A classic 'church'-soul voice with great production
Cons: Wish he had made a double CD!

John Stephens aka John Legend is one of those hard working musicians that has worked with so many people in the industry but is just now getting his due credit. When I first knew of him, I was snatching up everything that had Kanye West’s name on ...

Pros: Brilliantly sung and dutifully created beats. Great DVD footage.
Cons: Some weak lyrics here and there, but no one's perfect

Inevitable. It's inevitable that John Legend will become a true music legend many years from now. If this is his debut album, there is really not very much improving that can be done from this point on. John the future Legend's Get ...

Pros: Beautiful music, catchy songs, heavy vocals, something to chill and romance to.
Cons: some tracks can sound dull at first, sometimes a bit cheesy

Last Sept a blank cd found it's way to my desk. Being the inquisitive little man i am, i popped it in my CD player immediately. What i was about to hear was unlike anything i've heard before. Good, honest RnB music, which in my opinion, is difficult to ...

Pros: Ethereal vocals, raw emotion , beautiful musical score, and heart rendering piano rifts.
Cons: Hardly any, except production track on 11.

John Legend Get Lifted Columbia Production: John Legend, Kanye West, will.i.am, Devon Harris and Dave Tozer. Review by Marsha Castello John Legend, a.k.a John Stephens, producer turned soul singer breathes the breath of life back into the ...

Pros: Legend's voice is impeccable.
Cons: None, if you ask me.

John Stephens, now known as John Legend (thanks to Kanye West), has a fresh & unique singing component that impulses listeners to fanatics, as they listen to his debut release Get Lifted (Oct. 26 - Columbia Records). Born & raised in Ohio, Legend ...

Pros: Sexy, Summery and Soulful
Cons: I loved it!

John Legend's "Get Lifted" album has a very relaxed and chill vibe. His lyrics and soulful and confessional. The songs seem to follow a pattern in terms of topic. The songs in the beginning of the album are guilty and full of lust. He sings about a ...
