Summary
John Legend drops major news: his new album “Muse,” out October 23, is a groundbreaking collaboration with Pharrell Williams — their first full project together after over two decades. Produced and co-written by Pharrell, it’s a cinematic dive into Black music, blending gospel, soul, and hip-hop with a “Black James Bond” vibe. Inspired by Legend’s Clipse feature, the album marks Legend’s boldest move yet, recording songs entirely written by Pharrell — a rare step for him. Fans got a taste with “Pray For Ya” at Louis Vuitton and the official single “Daylight,” performed live at NFL kickoff. Pharrell even thanked Legend for his trust in a heartfelt text. Meanwhile, Legend’s also composing his first original score for a new musical hitting The Shed in November. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
