Legend features some of his kids on the album singing with him.
John Legend has become his name.When his wife Chrissy Teigen posted the video of Legend singing and playing piano to one of their four kids — Luna, 8, Miles, 6, Esti, and Wren, under 2 — fans wanted more. Legend decided to make an album of children's songs and lullabies.From the start, Legend knew he wanted to collaborate with singer and songwriter Sufjan Stevens on the project. So, Legend had his people call Stevens’ people and the duo got to work.
“Oh, I love it. It just immediately brings a smile to my face. It brings a smile to my kids’ faces. And I love that I made something that'll be part of their lives forever and will help us remember this moment in our own lives.” “I just know how grateful we are that science and so many intelligent people, caring people have worked on ways for families who are struggling with fertility to have a family. We were having trouble doing it the old-fashioned way. And from us telling our stories, we opened up the floodgates of people telling us their stories.
“When I finally got into it and was thinking about covering it, I listened to all the lyrics and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it's kind of sad in part of the song.’ It's about the idea that you might lose someone or miss someone or be away from someone that you love. But they’re still your sunshine. And, Sufjan singing the background vocals on it with me. I just love hearing our voices together on it, too.
