Download Release (Only): 16/10/06

 

This is one of the best songs around at the moment imo, but it's not even getting a physical release :(

 

Taken from the album Once Again released 23/10/06

 

'Once Again', John's new album, is many things, chief among them, it's a pop/soul album fueled by intelligence, intuition, sensuality, spirit and a creativity made possible when which includes Raphael Saadiq, Kanye West, Craig Street and will.i.am, who brought the lead single, 'Save Room' to John. Breezy and sexy, 'Save Room' is a joyful, cool love song, inspired by an old AM radio single, 'Stormy', by the Classics IV (a 60's Top 40 band best-known for 'Spooky').

 

Even more so than he did on 'Get Lifted', John went boldly in his own creative direction on 'Once Again', opting to write, not from a marketing standpoint, but from his heart and soul and personal experience. Laced with a somewhat more dramatic flair is the mid-tempo 'Where Did My Baby Go'. John takes a somewhat political perspective on the stately 'Coming Home'. Relationship ups and downs are the subject of the swaying Kanye West-produced 'Heaven Only Knows'. 'Show Me' which John cites as one of his favorites, is hushed, haunting and deliberately ambiguous (co-produced by Raphael Saadiq and Craig Street).

I've seen this on B4 quite a bit. Its a decent track but not a patch on some of his other stuf IMO. :(

It's ok but I hope there's better on the album. I loved 'Get Lifted' :wub:, especially 'Live it up'.

I like it

I'm not really a big fan of John Legends stuff and whilst I think 'Save Room' isn't bad, it certainly isn't great. The reason why it isn't getting a physical release is simple - It is too bland and the record company know that if this was given a physical release then it would be a huge flop just like his last few singles, such as 'Number 1' and 'So High' which was a mega number 341 hit.

I think most of his stuff are blandbut love this song and Estelle's in the vid

Good job it was only a download release, it would have spectacularly bombed otherwise.
