Review: John Legend - Once Again

He might blow up, but he won't go pop: John Legend's brand of sexy, sophisticated music was a surprise hit in 2005. But since his style of music is so different from most contemporary R&B, it remained to be seen if he could duplicate the success of his Get Lifted album. Interestingly, instead of going for more of a pop sound this time around, Legend heads in an even more sophisticated, adult contemporary direction. The album won't be released until Oct. 24, but you can already check out your Guide to R&B's review of Once Again for the full scoop.
