John Legend | "You & I (Nobody In The World)"

John Legend delivers a compelling message of acceptance, beauty and self love through various women in the music video for "You & I (Nobody in the World)," the fourth single, serves as the follow-up to his chart-topping ballad "All of Me," to be lifted off Legend's fourth album, "Love in the Future." Legend is known for making the hearts of women melt with his love songs. Think his "All of Me" took all the tears out of you? Think again. The delicate master of soul's newest simple-but-beautiful clip is as exquisite and heartbreaking (or heartwarming) as you'd expect.
The emotional number highlights various life occurrences in the everyday life of a female. In the song, the 35-year-old Legend is telling the woman in his life that he believes she is perfect just the way she is. The song lyrics read, "You fix your make up, just so, Guess you don't know, that your beautiful, Try on every dress that you own, You were fine in my eyes, a half hour ago." Adding, "All of the stars, they don't shine brighter than you are, Ain't nobody in the world but you and I."
Legend helps promote positive body image with the powerful and stirring video, which begins with a familiar scene. As he sits on his bed, waiting, supermodel wife Chrissy Teigan stares straight ahead as she tucks her hair behind her ears, as if in front of a mirror before this scene cuts to others of women of all races, ages and sizes with their respective flaws looking at themselves in the mirror and trying to adjust their already perfect selves. The video shows clips of women from all walks of life and taking in their reflection.
A cancer patient removes her wig, a topless pregnant lady shows off her belly, a woman trying on clothes, a young girl getting her ears pierced, a pregnant lady showing off her baby bump and another woman crying while removing her bra to reveal her mastectomy. "Orange Is the New Black" star Laverne Cox also stars in it and wiping off make up from her face. Some look dismayed by what they see, which is heartbreaking. Others look pleased, as if they can hear Legend sing his words of encouragement: "You were fine in my eyes, a half and hour ago." Their sad faces turn into smiling faces as they embrace their differences, flaws and all. Watch the celebration of individuality.

John Legend gets intimate with wife in 'All of Me'

John Legend is head over heels in love in the romantic video for "All of Me," the latest single lifted from his recent fourth studio album "Love in the Future." The newly 34-year-old married R&B crooner, who wed supermodel Chrissy Teigen on September 14 in Lake Como, Italy and sung this song to his bride during the nuptials, and gets intimate with his new wife in the beautiful black-and-white clip. "Very excited to share my new music video for 'All of Me'," Legend tweeted. "This video is very special to me and you'll see why.
The moving ballad finds Legend returning to his piano-driven roots. The heartwarming ode to loving someone else, like many of the other "Love in The Future" tracks, is addressed to the singer's real-life wife Teigen, 27, they met on set of Legend’s video for "Stereo" in 2006. "All of Me" typify Legend's current commercially friendly, sentimental sound: "All of me loves all of you / All your perfect imperfections / Love your curves and all your edges." Legend told BBC News about Teigen's influence on the album: "The overwhelming sensibility is one of optimism. She's definitely affected my songwriting."
Legend told Digital Spy that the first time he sang this song to Teigen, she cried. Producer Dave Tozer told SonicScoop about the song's production. "This is a very simple, stripped-down arrangement," he said. "It's just piano, vocals, some robots, a couple of synths, and some Moog bass. The weight is all on Legend's vocal. And then I harmonized a bunch of his vocals to sound like robots - an Eventide piece might have been used, and the TC Helicon VoiceLive. The VoiceLive sounded cool and gave some great results."

Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the pensive black-and-white uber-sexy clip is certainly personal enough, the newlyweds give a personal glimpse into their love life, what with all those intimate shots of him tickling the keys, their honeymoon in Italy, a series of steamy scenes get naked and makes love in the shower and underwater, while he serenades her with his sweet song. The video steps it up at the end by tacking on actual footage from their very recent actual wedding and their first kiss as a married couple.

John Legend unveils sensual "Made To Love"

John Legend gets artistic and up close and personal in his another ultra sexy stripped-down new video for the new pounding ballad, "Made To Love," the second single from the 34-year-old soulful crooner's upcoming fourth studio album, "Love in the Future," due in stores September 3rd. The minimalistic visuals definitely align with the album title and perfectly captures the tune's sensuality, as they portray the R&B singer and other subjects in a very futuristic, computer-generated manner.
"Made To Love" is a futuristic, yet tender R&B mid-tempo, was produced by Legend's long-term collaborators Kanye West and Dave Tozer, along with Da Internz, and Nana Kwabena. Legend is a stickler when it comes to creating captivating visuals, and things become a lot more colorful as the emotional tune draws closer to the climax. A big lovefest, that's the best way to describe Legend's new video for "Made To Love," which was directed by acclaimed fashion photographer Daniel Sannwald, and the concept came from Yoann Lemoine, who directed Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream," Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die," and Drake and Rihanna's "Take Care."
The simple and straightforward approach of the generally black-and-white-themed steamy visuals fits the mid-tempo R&B ballad in the sense that it features down-to-earth lyrics with just a repetitive hook that rings of the song's title. But the tune is brought to life by Legend's soulful rendition further accentuated by New Zealand recording artist Kimbra, who provides the haunting backup vocals and scatting on this song. The New Zealand singer-songwriter is best known for her contribution to Gotye's hit tune "Somebody That I Used To Know."
Although the sexually-charged video features nude bodies, the treatment is quite artistic, using paint splash and distorted screen effects to ward off any possible indecent exposure. The visuals complement the track in more ways than you might think at first blush, and is an artistic rendition of nude bodies making love to his new R&B tune. It's very artistic, sexy and easily one of Legend's braver clips to date and incredibly vibrant and intimate, providing lovely imagery for the song's lyrics. There are black and white scenes of Legend singing the ballad, but most of the video is filled with scenes of people making love while being completed naked or covered in paint. Again, it’s a striking visual for a soulful song that has a bit more dynamics than his usual fare.

Benny Benassi unleashes "Dance the Pain Away"

Benny Benassi, the brilliant Italian EDM producer and DJ has recruited soulful crooner John Legend to sing the vocals on his new single "Dance the Pain Away." The studio edit of the song was released just mere days ago, and now Benassi unleashes the official video for the moody dance track via his label Ultra Records. "Dance the Pain Away" will be the first single off Benassi's forthcoming album; its title and release date have not yet been announced. Legend originally wrote the song as a guitar ballad for his upcoming album, "Love in the Future," due September 3.
Legend gets his feet wet in the electro-pop/dance world with Benassi on "Dance the Pain Away." Unlike many R&B artists who venture into this genre, Legend made certain to maintain his soulful delivery as he croons the uplifting and inspirational lyrics. Benassi's hard bass and Legend's smooth croon are an unlikely pairing, and the two musicians' dance-floor-ready collaboration on "Dance the Pain Away" was similarly unexpected partnership. "This song came about by chance. Working with John is the result of a series of coincidences," Benassi tells Rolling Stone. "Not only is he unbelievably talented, he's also really nice."
Benassi counts the partnership as one of his best moments, particularly Legend's surprise appearance when he performed the track for the first time at Coachella in April. "It was one of the highlights of my career," Benassi says. Legend's vocals are absolutely brilliant - the lyrics are a bit cheesy but his soulful vocals just don't really blend well with Benassi's super mega dance beat. Benassi's bass thumps still drive the track, but the synths wash over Legend's vocal caresses. It's even better here, as the ache in Legend's voice elevates this to a level above most dance anthems, proving that sometimes the heart beats louder than the rhythms on the floor.
Legend searches for an escape in the video for "Dance the Pain Away." Directed by Cameron Duddy, the black-and-white clip brings the song to life as it takes fans for a drive along the scenic and storied stretch of famous road known as Los Angeles's Pacific Coast Highway, with Benassi behind the wheel of a classic Porsche 550 Spyder, while Legend belts out the uptempo track in a black suit at the beach among the seaside hills, and a beautiful girl enticing the camera. The video grips the gut of the track and captures the essence of searching for escape.

John Legend debuts 'Tonight(best you ever had)'

The R&B soulful crooner John Legend is back and turns up the heat in the steamy video for his latest classy seductive turn "Tonight (Best You Ever Had)," the lead single from his forthcoming fourth album, currently untitled. The project is set to debut this spring and will feature production from Kanye West, Bink and Paul Epworth. The LP serves as a follow-up to his 2008 solo studio album "Evolver."
Featuring Southern rapper Ludacris, the bedroom banger is a soundtrack for upcoming movie "Think Like a Man." Some scenes including the steamy makeout session between Taraji P. Henson and Michael Ealy are previewed in the newly-premiered music video courtesy of Essence. The song's lyrics certainly suit the title of the movie with lyrics. With the help of Essence, Legend stepped from behind his piano and ripped off his shirt and gets frisky and flirting with a woman who has caught his eye.
With a shirtless Legend is "thinking like a man" in his new video, suggestive lyrics throughout, and assorted sensual imagery going on. The 33-year-old Ohio native seduces his love interest with his sultry lyrics and promises her that he will be the best she's ever had. He sits on a bed and flaunts his frame and gets close with his lady, caressing her as she returns the favor, while a shades-wearing Ludacris charms his lady with his equally seductive verses, giving the refreshing R&B track some hip-hop edge.
The sparse video definitely exudes Legend's sexiness as he remains shirtless for the majority of it. The Grammy Award winning singer is trying to shed his polite guy image with his latest video, which turns a night at home watching movies into a sensual romp, and gives Legend the opportunity to try his hand at being a sex symbol. Its TAJ directed visual should go some way in aiding that cause, especially as it sees the usually coy crooner flash some flesh. Something we're sure his legion of fans will not be complaining about.
