John Legend lastest studio album EVOLVER

This third studio album from the neo-soul superstar follows 2006's 'Once Again' and 2008's 'Live From Philadelphia'. While maintaining the consistency of his trademark sexy, sophisticated sound, this album takes a more consciously upbeat attitude on some tracks, including the club-bound first single "Green Light" (featuring Andre 3000) which evokes the 80s dancefloor. The album also features contributions from Kanye West, Estelle, Brandy and Kelly Rowland.

Theme for this album:
"I think it's hard to find a general theme. It's a lot of love and relationship songs, as people probably would expect from me. There's not an overarching lyrical theme that goes throughout. It's just a bunch of good songs, I think." —John Legend, MTV
