New Song: John Legend – ‘The Beginning’

Published: Tuesday 19th Mar 2013 by Sam

John Legend is back.

The Soulful crooner kicks off his ‘Love In The Future’ album campaign with the aptly titled new song ‘The Beginning’. A teaser cut of sorts, the track serves as a prelude to official first single ‘Who Do We Think We Are (ft. Rick Ross)’ – which arrives on March 25th. 

While the 34-year-old has busied himself with soundtrack cuts and guest appearances in recent years, the project marks his first solo effort since 2008’s ‘Evolver’.

Take a listen to new John Legend after the jump…

A flavoursome blend of everything we’ve come to love from Legend since he blazed onto our iPods with ‘Get Lifted’, this boasts a sound that could easily work on Urban and Urban Adult Contemporary radio.

With so many artists chasing hits of the EDM persuasion, John’s lane has largely remained unoccupied allowing him to slide back in and serve up that qualitative goodness his so renown for. Welcome back!

    Mad boring…. i think Mr.”legend” is so tired. I don’t hear or see hunger in his work. It always comes across as if music is a hobby and not a passion… i don’t know. I hope this isn’t his first single bc i know there is something more inside of him. #turningupthenewKINGsingle

    Although this song is nice it reminds me of so many other John Legend songs, i’m not sure if its the way he’s singing or the melody but its just same ole

    • Selina March 19, 2013

      I agree. And the melody isn’t even his:P He stole it from Ingrid Michaelson’s Winter Song

    At this time it seems like Movable Type is the preferred
    blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve
    read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
