John Legend Talks New Album & Barack Obama

August 26th, 2008 | Author: Andres Tardio

It's no secret that singer John Legend is a Barack Obama supporter. he's already been featured on a track in favor of Obama's presidential nomination. Now, he's taking things a step further with his new track, "If You're Out There." With time dwindling, the release date for his next studio album, Evolver, approaches.

Recently, Legend spoke on the track with a political statement, releasing word as to what the song means for him.

"'If You're Out There' reflects the themes of hope and change, responsibility and leadership, and commitment to a better tomorrow expressed in the principles of Barack Obama and the hearts of the American people," he told MTV.

"I think it's hard to find a general theme [on the album]," he also noted in a recent interview. "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."
 
Expect to hear "If You're Out There" alongside "Green Light," the first official single released off of Evolver, an album set to be released in late October.
