Chart saviour John Legend has teamed up with actual saviour Jesus Christ for his 6th studio album, 'A Legendary Christmas'.

 

It's set to be released on 26th October and as far as I can tell will contain a mix of original songs and Christmas classics including a guest harmonica spot by Stevie Wonder.

 

1. "What Christmas Means to Me" (feat. Stevie Wonder on harmonica)

2. "Silver Bells"

3. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" (feat. Esperanza Spalding)

4. "No Place Like Home"

5. "Bring Me Love"

6. "Merry Christmas Baby / Give Love on Christmas Day"

7. "Christmas Time Is Here"

8. "Waiting for Christmas"

9. "Purple Snowflakes"

10. "The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)"

11. "Please Come Home for Christmas"

12. "Wrap Me Up in Your Love"

13. "By Christmas Eve"

14. "Merry Merry Christmas"

 

He's also announced dates for a US tour to promote the album so expect him to pop up on The X Factor live shows at some point flogging this.

First Jessie J now John Legend... why are all the insufferable people releasing Xmas albums this year?

John Legend is not insufferable! :o He's so super talented! Granted "All Of Me" was horrifically overplayed but songs like "Green Light" and "Love Me Now" are awesome and "Ordinary People" is also incredible :wub:

 

So which are the original songs? Looks like:

 

"No Place Like Home"

"Bring Me Love"

"Waiting For Christmas"

"Wrap Me Up In Your Love"

"By Christmas Eve"

"Merry Merry Christmas"

 

All have John Legend writing credits - a decent amount of new tracks then - will check them out when I'm feeling festive.

Same here - can imagine an Xmas album by him being excellent with his voice. Hope he comes and does some promo in the lead up to Xmas!

 

Whatever you think of All of Me it's already a classic at weddings etc! Had 52 weeks in the top 40!!

All Of You is the most dull 4 and a half minutes I've ever had to suffer through... multiple times a day for all of 2013/2014 :kink: Love Me Now is even worse

 

Ordinary People and Glory aren't bad though

All of me was overplayed but its a good song

Come on Hes not on the same level as Jessie J

That cover is not good. The facial expression!

Anyone know the lead single from this which is being sent to radio? I imagine radio 2 will playlist it!

Looks like it may be "Bring Me Love"??

Doesn't sound overly xmasy!!

This seems to have flopped airplay wise over here, haven't seen it anywhere!!

Has it done anything anywhere? I’ve been enjoying Bring Me Love!

I've seen there wasn't any songs playlisted at uk radio as far as I seen. Maybe it's done better in the US?

I honestly thought this was Joseph making a parody threat.

 

That artwork.

Haha it's class!!
