When you're releasing an album, you never know how it's going to go. You never know how a critic is going to receive it or how much it's going to sell. John Legend albumcriticreceive Change image and share on social
I'm probably tougher on myself than I used to be. I'll revise my lyrics more. Part of that is working with the right people and producers who will say, 'How can you make that better?' Allowing yourself to collaborate with people will push you toward transcendence. John Legend allowcollaboratelyric share on social
I listen to all those kinds of music, from classic soul to hip-hop to Brazilian music to, you know, jazz to indie to alternative. So whatever. I listen to all if it. Classic rock and classic pop, all of that. John Legend alternativebrazilianclassic share on social

Hip hop is usually a bunch of guys talking to a bunch of guys, in my experience. It's homosocial, not homosexual, in that it's almost always all one gender in a room where it's being created. That locker-room environment has an impact on the language. I think the music suffers 'cause it allows an almost cartoonish level of misogyny. John Legend bunchcartoonishcreate share on social
