- John Legend is back with another, even smoother version of his last R&B.

John Legend is back with another, even smoother version of his last R&B offering less than a year after releasing his eighth studio album: Legend (Solo Piano Version).
“The album was a lot of fun to put together,” says Legend, 44, of the new collection of stripped-down songs from last year’s Legend. “I’d already written the songs so it was fun to reimagine them and think of new ways of presenting them,” he tells news in this week’s issue. “I’d never done a full album like this since I got signed.”
His favorite new version of the record is a particularly sexual song called “Honey,” which he coyly claims is about “things that grown-ups do.” And his constant inspiration for the majority of his songs is: His 37-year-old wife of nine years is Chrissy Teigen.
During the recording process, the remake of his most recent song, “Wonder Woman,” struck a completely different chord. That song has a special value to me because I wrote it while my wife was pregnant and witnessed the miracle of childbirth as well as everything that women go through to bring life into the world.
Esti Maxine, the couple’s third child, was born last month by Teigen and joins elder siblings Luna, 6, and Miles, 4. According to legend, their home is now overflowing with “more love, more joy.”
And he is more than satisfied. The celebrity claims, “I have everything I could possibly have dreamed of,” from music to family. The only thing left to focus on is becoming the best artist, father, and husband I can be.
