This week, Tommy is joined by beloved singer and songwriter John Legend. With his new album, Muse, out now, John opens up about making one of the most creatively ambitious projects of his career, working alongside the legendary Pharrell Williams, and how the collaboration challenged him in ways he didn't expect. He takes us inside the inspiration behind an album he describes as the soundtrack to a "Black James Bond film," reveals the profound impact Nina Simone has had on his life, and shares the deeply personal stories and emotions behind songs like "Daylight" and "Fireflies.”Beyond the music, John gets real about the power of hope, why optimism continues to guide him, his determination to never stop evolving as an artist, and so much more.
