New Sound in John Legend's Next album

This time John Legend insists that 
the album will have a new sound. The proof may be in the pudding with the lead 
single that features Andre 3000 titled "Green Light."

John states:“We liked the idea and sent it over to Andre because we thought he would be 
perfect for it. We felt it needed his flavor. He rhymed on it and we felt like it was the 
right song to go with first. So we’ll be shooting the video in a couple of weeks,” 
The song is considerably more upbeat than the usual John Legend outing. But this 
is something that he said would be prevalent throughout his new album. 
"It's going to be a surprise for a lot of John Legend fans, because it is a lot more 
upbeat than John is — than people think John is," Andre stated in a previous 
interview with MTV. "I was actually happy to hear it. This is a cool John Legend 
song."
So the question is whether or not this new direction was Legend's idea or his label.
“I’m just making music,” Legend says. “My record company doesn’t call me saying 
‘John we need you to do this.’ I just go out there and try to make records that I would 
love and I think the audience will love.”

Look for the video to "Green Light" coming soon and Evolver this fall.
