John Legend’s next studio album is coming our way next month and he’s teasing its release with one single after another. His latest “All She Wanna Do” sees him joining forces with Saweetie and its newly released music video shows the two singers throwing an epic dance party.

The video opens with shots of a group of dancers, who weren’t aware they were actually there to shoot the video and thought they were only present for an open casting call. As the video progresses, we see them show off their best moves alongside Legend and Saweetie.

Legend described the music video for his latest single as a “big dance party”, adding this is the perfect way to visually portray the spirit of the song.

“When Saweetie and I surprised the dancers on set it was magic, and Christian Breslauer did a brilliant job capturing their energy and excitement on camera. This video feels so good and I’m so excited to share it with fans,” Legend told Complex.

“All She Wanna Do” was released as the third single from the singer’s eighth studio album Legend, set to be released on September 9 via Republic. It was preceded by singles “Dope” featuring JID and “Honey” featuring Muni Long.

There’s a rainbow baby en route for Chrissy Teigen and John Legend!

Two years ago, the couple experienced massive heartbreak when their son, Jack, was stillborn. During her pregnancy, the model had received at least two blood transfusions due to excessive bleeding from her placenta. 

Although Chrissy admitted that the fear of losing another baby remains, she has shared the happy news that she is expecting again!

“The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again,” she captioned photos of herself wearing a crop top that shows off her baby bump. “1 billion shots later (in the leg lately, as u can see!) we have another on the way.“

The shots refer to IVF treatment which the 36-year-old celebrity has been very open about. She revealed on social media earlier this year that she was undergoing treatment again. Chrissy and the “Green Light” singer are already parents to 6-year-old Luna and 4-year-old Miles. 

“Every appointment I’ve said to myself, ‘ok if it’s healthy today I’ll announce’ but then I breathe a sigh of relief to hear a heartbeat and decide I’m just too nervous still,” she continued on Instagram. “I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves but so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing. Ok phew it’s been very hard keeping this in for so long!“

Congratulations!

Gwen Stefani is no stranger to coaching young new talents on The Voice, and she’s ready to do it again. The singer is set to make a comeback on the 19th season of the singing competition, taking Nick Jonas’ place.

Stefani made her debut as a The Voice coach in 2014 and had always happily accepted the offer to return on this show. Back in 2019, she told E! that it’s always a shock to be asked back because they wait until the very last minute to tell her.

Stefani will be reunited with coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Blake Shelton, her colleagues from season 17. She took a break from the show after that so she could commit to her Las Vegas residency.

Earlier this year, Stefani released a duet with her long-time partner Blake Shelton, titled “Nobody but You”. It went on to become her highest-charting song in over a decade and peaked at no. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Many of our favorite artists are currently trying to entertain us while we’re staying at home by streaming their sessions on Instagram, including John Legend. He used his recent live set to share some exciting news with his fans – that he’s working on a new album.

Legend is the latest artist to take part in the Together at Home concert series led by Chris Martin, and he saw this live session as the perfect opportunity to tell his fans that his new music is on the way.

“Just so you guys know, I am putting out a new album this year. Everybody’s home, you need stuff, you need music, you need TV, you need films. You need stuff to entertain you, so I’m going to put some music out,” said the EGOT winner.

Legend also added that he’s not sure when exactly this record is going to come out with everything that’s happening right now, but he already wrote and recorded most of it. He also challenged Miguel and Charlie Puth to take part in Together at Home series.

John Legend never had any trouble speaking out about important social issues, and he’s putting his money where his mouth is with music video for new single “Preach”. In addition to sending a powerful message, this moving visual aims to raise donations for a good cause.

The EGOT-winning musician used his video to encourage everyone who’s watching to take action. “Preach” is the first video of its kind to utilize YouTube’s new fundraising feature, allowing viewers to donate money to Legend’s newly established non-profit FreeAmerica.

The ten-time Grammy winner launched this charity with one goal in mind –amplifying the voices of individuals impacted by the criminal justice system and those who are working to change it. The video for “Preach” is here to raise awareness about FreeAmerica, which aims to raise $50,000 in donations in the next year.

John Legend and Stevie Wonder performed the main acts while Ciara came dressed as Rick James to celebrate Motown Records’ 60th anniversary Tuesday night.

Stevie performed more than half a dozen songs at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the record label that influenced great artists like Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

While addressing the crowd, Motown’s founder Berry Gordy said he had fulfilled his lifelong dream of creating a record label that produced music for “all people.” Gordy opened the label in 1959 as a studio label for underappreciated artists. With time, The Supremes, Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and many more joined him.

“My dream was to make music for all people,” Gordy said. “Well, my dream came true…I want to thank all of you fans, and your parents, and their grandparents. All around the world. I could say their great grandparents, but that would make me older than I want to be.”

John Legend covered some of Motown’s legendary hits, including Gaye’s “Mercy Me”. Ne-Yo covered “I’ll be There” by The Jackson 5 while Ciara did a rendition of “Give It to Me Baby.” Diana Ross forced the audience to stand as she wowed them with her iconic voice.

Other artists in the house included Chloe X Halle, Tori Kelly, Martha Reeves and Meghan Trainor. Jennifer Lopez, who did a tribute of Motown at the Grammy awards on Sunday was not present.

Binge-watching Netflix is already one of our favorite pastimes, but it’s about to get a little bit better. The popular streaming service is getting ready to launch their first music competition show – hip-hop talent search Rhythm and Flow. The best part? The judging panel is going to be off the charts!

Cardi B, Chance the Rapper and T.I. will be the ones deciding the destiny of young hip-hop hopefuls who are trying to follow in her footsteps. Auditions will be held all around the US, and the trio will be joined by additional rap superstars, who will serve as guest judges.

Cardi and the boys aren’t the only A-listers involved in Rhythm and Flow. They’ll serve as executive producers alongside John Legend, and his partners at Get Lifted Film Company. The host is yet to be announced, but it would be great if recent EGOT winner managed to convince his wife Chrissy Teigen to join the team. We can dream, right?

Rhythm and Flow should premiere in fall 2019, with auditions starting later this year. It’s still unclear how Netflix intends to make this work since most talents shows involve live performances and public vote, but they never disappointed us in the past.

John Legend is definitely not one of the ordinary people.

The Good Night singer has joined the illustrious club of EGOT winners — those who have claimed Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards — and now he’s joining another cool club. The 39-year-old is set to become one of the 4 coaches on The Voice.

NBC confirmed that John will be replacing actress and singer, Jennifer Hudson, for the spring cycle of the reality competition.

“[John’s] multi-dimensional career and incredible talents provide a repertoire that will excite and inspire our artists. This coaching panel is sure to ignite season 16,” said President of the Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment, Paul Telegdy.

The father of 2 will join fellow judges Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton, as well as host Carson Daly.

“I’m thrilled to join the coaches of The Voice,” he said. “I’ve been a guest and mentor on the show multiple times and I’m so excited to discover talented singers and help them make the most of their gift. I hope the world is ready for #TeamJL.”

We’re giving you the green light, John!

John Legend covered some of Motown’s legendary hits, including Gaye’s “Mercy Me”. Ne-Yo covered “I’ll be There” by The Jackson 5 while Ciara did a rendition of “Give It to Me Baby.” Diana Ross forced the audience to stand as she wowed them with her iconic voice.

Other artists in the house included Chloe X Halle, Tori Kelly, Martha Reeves and Meghan Trainor. Jennifer Lopez, who did a tribute of Motown at the Grammy awards on Sunday was not present.

Binge-watching Netflix is already one of our favorite pastimes, but it’s about to get a little bit better. The popular streaming service is getting ready to launch their first music competition show – hip-hop talent search Rhythm and Flow. The best part? The judging panel is going to be off the charts!

Cardi B, Chance the Rapper and T.I. will be the ones deciding the destiny of young hip-hop hopefuls who are trying to follow in her footsteps. Auditions will be held all around the US, and the trio will be joined by additional rap superstars, who will serve as guest judges.

Cardi and the boys aren’t the only A-listers involved in Rhythm and Flow. They’ll serve as executive producers alongside John Legend, and his partners at Get Lifted Film Company. The host is yet to be announced, but it would be great if recent EGOT winner managed to convince his wife Chrissy Teigen to join the team. We can dream, right?

Rhythm and Flow should premiere in fall 2019, with auditions starting later this year. It’s still unclear how Netflix intends to make this work since most talents shows involve live performances and public vote, but they never disappointed us in the past.

John Legend is definitely not one of the ordinary people.

The Good Night singer has joined the illustrious club of EGOT winners — those who have claimed Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Awards — and now he’s joining another cool club. The 39-year-old is set to become one of the 4 coaches on The Voice.

NBC confirmed that John will be replacing actress and singer, Jennifer Hudson, for the spring cycle of the reality competition.

“[John’s] multi-dimensional career and incredible talents provide a repertoire that will excite and inspire our artists. This coaching panel is sure to ignite season 16,” said President of the Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment, Paul Telegdy.

The father of 2 will join fellow judges Kelly Clarkson, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton, as well as host Carson Daly.

“I’m thrilled to join the coaches of The Voice,” he said. “I’ve been a guest and mentor on the show multiple times and I’m so excited to discover talented singers and help them make the most of their gift. I hope the world is ready for #TeamJL.”

We’re giving you the green light, John!
