Music reviews of Get Lifted
Music Review: I was Lifted!!!
Rating: 5 Stars
When I first bought this CD, I did not know much about John Legend. I had only herd the song "Ordinary People". I also saw the video that was on TV. I was truly amazed at the gift that John Legend possesses. His voice is a well crafted instrument, and sounds very seasond,especially for someone as young as he. I listend to this debut CD every day for months!! I absolutley love this CD!! I believe it is one of the best debuts of any albulm in the last few years.
A must for music lovers!!!

Description of Get Lifted
Given the sped-up classic soul samples with which Kanye West has made his mark, it comes as no surprise that the producer/rapper would pick a tradition-minded R&B singer as his first big pet project. Legend first made his name on Philly's incense-clouded, '70s-obsessed neo-soul scene, then found his way to New York and became West's right-hand man in the studio. His patron's pop smarts serve Legend well--while many contemporary R&B records rely too heavily on a singer's cadence and skill to carry underdeveloped tunes, Legend and West have composed genuine songs like the perky "Number One," which has a lovestruck West jabbering that he no longer believes that "my heart don't got nothing to do with my penis." (It's way more convincing than Snoop Dogg's pledge of love on the next track, "I Can Change.") And even when the melodies are slight, West slides some nasty bass lines underneath, hinting at just enough of a hip-hop sensibility to keep the album from drifting into retro nostalgia. Yet Legend is no mere producer's plaything. His voice isn't immediately distinctive; he's neither as careworn as Anthony Hamilton nor as creamy as D'Angelo. But his gift for restraint sets him apart: the sex-as-drug metaphor of the title track is hardly fresh, but Legend delivers it smoothly enough to make it work, without pressing the issue. All bedroom come-ons have been used before. This late in the game, it's a matter of how well you use 'em. --Keith HarrisContemporary R&B CDs
