Multi-platinum, 11-time GRAMMY Award-winner John Legend today released his new album BIGGER LOVE via Columbia Records through Sony Music Entertainment Australia. As John Legend sees it, the world could use a reminder of the power of love and his seventh studio album, BIGGER LOVE is just that.

“During these painful times, some of us may wonder if it’s ok to laugh or dance or be romantic,” Legend says. “Lately, the images of black people in the media have been showing us with knees on our necks, in mourning, or expressing our collective outrage. We feel all those emotions. But It’s important for us to continue to show the world the fullness of what it is to be black and human. Through our art, we are able to do that. This album is a celebration of love, joy, sensuality, hope, and resilience, the things that make our culture so beautiful and influential.”
BIGGER LOVE is classic John Legend: soulful, joyful, loving, hopeful and tender. The 16-track album is a heady mix of jubilant pop-soul (‘ Bigger Love’, ‘I Do’, ‘Wild’), lush grown and sexy R&B (‘U Move I Move’, ‘Slow Cooker’, ‘Favorite Place’), hypnotic hip-hop inspired grooves (‘Ooh Laa’, ‘Actions’) and the powerful ballads that are the cornerstone of his work (‘Conversations in the Dark’, ‘Never Break’).
Rolling Stone declares the title track ‘Bigger Love’ “a dance floor-ready pop song…that exudes jubilance even in these tough times.” Billboard says ‘Actions’ “can mean something slightly different for everyone, but once again, Legend has used his platform for positive motivation.” MTV calls the #1 song ‘Conversations in the Dark’ a “tear-jerker” and says, “John Legend has written the world’s sweetest vows .”
John will celebrate the album release with a special Juneteenth edition of Verzuz with Alicia Keys. The Instagram Live series has been staging battles between musicians since March and will feature a special musical duel and battle of the pianos with John and Alicia starting at Saturday June 19th 10am AEST.

In honour of Father’s Day in the US, Legend will also host a one-hour variety special, John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father’s Day, airing Sunday, June 21 at 8 pm ET/PT on ABC. The evening will be a tribute to fathers everywhere and will blend live musical performances from his new album BIGGER LOVE with some levity, humour and touching moments.
Executive produced by Raqhael Saadiq, BIGGER LOVE features collaborations with Jhene Aiko, Koffee, Rapsody and Gary Clarke Jr. with co-writing and production work from Anderson. Paak, Oak Felder, Tayla Parx, Charlie Puth, Ryan Tedder, Teddy Geiger, DJ Camper, Ricky Reed, Julia Michaels, Digi, Cautious Clay, Di Genius and more.
BIGGER LOVE is about bringing light and love at a time when things feel otherwise.
In a statement to his fans, Legend says, “I’m under no illusion that music can save the world or solve the world’s problems, but I’ve always turned to music to help me through tough times and I know many of you have done the same. That’s why I couldn’t wait to release this album to the world. I debuted in 2004 with an album called GET LIFTED. And now, as we enter the summer of 2020, I hope this new album can get you lifted again, fill your hearts with love and inspiration, give you something to dance to, something to hold hands to, something to make love to.”

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
