John Legend

Article Abstract:

John Legend stands out among others of his genre as a singer and songwriter whose music focuses more on themes of love and commitment, characterized by melodious sound rather than thumping beat. The rhythm-and-blues (R&B) singer avoided the ruling trends in contemporary music, preferring to pursue his own brand of piano-driven, emotion-laden songs on his albums.
