Evolver, will be released in the U.S. on October 28th, 2008. This is the 3rd major album release of John Legend. He claims to have made a new kind of music in a different direction than the one that he has followed in the past. In this album, for a major part, John Legend’s piano, which has until now been the instrument that’s most represented his sound and style, has been used very less and replaced by drum machines and synthesizers. Unlike, his smooth, soulful vocals, which dominated his early two releases, now “Evolver” will have more of a bright veneer. As the album’s title connotes, Legend definitely has evolved more than just a lounge singer as he used to be in the past. This album is clearly his bid at making his sound more radio friendly.

Legend’s Evolution is also illustrated by “Quickly,” a pop-influenced duet between him and Brandy.  The album is more fit for Top 40 radio than any urban station. The same can be said for the song that follows it on the album, “Cross the Line,” just an aptly cute ode to when friendships evolve into romance.
