John Legend – Used to Love U (Official Video)

John Legend is an American singer-songwriter who is now also thriving as a music producer.

Among his works, one especially cool track I highly recommend is “Used to Love U.” Released in 2004, it’s one of the songs that put John Legend’s name on the map.

The song’s biggest appeal is, without a doubt, the chorus—the powerful, gospel-tinged hook really stands out.

Be sure to give it a listen.

John Legend ft. Muni Long – Honey (Official Music Video)

A collaboration between John Legend, a young master of American soul, and Muni Long, who has written songs for countless big stars.

It’s a wonderfully satisfying track that blends the wistful, old-school soul music that’s an American specialty with post–hip-hop beats.

The lyrics follow the tradition of classic blues, telling the story of a man doing everything he can to win a woman’s favor, and employing double meanings that allow a single phrase to carry two interpretations.

In both its musicality and its lyrics, it’s the kind of mature love song that’s not very common in Japan.
