Back in 2005, John Legend dropped his hit single “Ordinary People,” as part of his debut LP “Get Lifted.” The record became an instant hit, sharing the artist’s renowned vocal quality, emotive deliveries, and heartfelt songwriting. Selling over 2M copies in the US and over 4M records around the world, the album marked the start of John Legend’s dominance in the R&B genre. Commemorating 20 years of his debut release, the 13-time Grammy Award-winning artist released an expanded reissue of the album featuring a bunch of guests. Plus, he’s kicking off a 20th Anniversary Tour, performing the record in its entirety.
John Legend spent three years creatively crafting and recording his debut LP. The 14-track album was a solid introduction to the man’s heartfelt lyrical masterpieces — packed with soul and R&B treats. To this day, it’s a golden record that showcases his artistry at its best.
“I’m so thrilled to be celebrating 20 years of the album that introduced me to the world,” the man shared in an official statement. “Get Lifted has always meant so much to me and to so many of my fans and supporters. I’m so grateful for the career that this album launched. These last 20 years have taken me far beyond my wildest dreams.”
A record that kicked off his amazing career, he dedicates his success to the album and to everyone who tuned in to his passion for music. With an additional 11 songs to the tracklist, guests including Lil Wayne Killer Mike, and Tems contribute their unique touch to these golden tracks.
