.MJSchulman talks to the singer-songwriter John Legend about his upcoming album, his extremely online family life, and his falling out with Kanye West.
Yeah. I wanted to write about, like, celebrating us being able to see each other and touch each other again.
There’s a line in “Pieces” that you repeat a couple of times: “Wasn’t it you who told me that grief was a teacher?” Was that a real conversation with someone? Who’s the “you”? In one sense, it has to do with being famous and having a pregnancy play out in the press. But, from the women in my life, I know there’s so much angst about what you share, when you tell people you’re pregnant—all these supposed rules—because if you lose the baby then you have to tell people that.
I have friends who’ve had really difficult miscarriages and then get pregnant, and in a way it’s bittersweet. It’s obviously very joyful, and you want to be full parents to this new person, but at the same time a new baby doesn’t exactly fill the hole of the one you lost. Are you sorting through those kinds of feelings?
How do you talk to your kids about being part of a very public family, being documented online? This is something that’s magnified by fame, but something every parent in the age of Facebook and Instagram thinks about. It’s weird, because Black Christians still tend to vote for Democrats. In some ways, you could call them liberal, but many are more conservative than a lot of other liberals about sexuality and some of these culture-war things. There’s quite a bit of resistance toin the Black Christian community, too. We grew up in a particularly not libertine church. We were pretty strict about what women could wear and gender roles and any kind of rights or respect for gay people.
