Meski John tidak sekaligus mengungkap tracklist untuk albumnya, namun dipercaya jika album akan menyertakan beberapa single mutakhirnya, seperti 'Actions', 'Conversations In The Dark', dan pastinya title track album, 'Bigger Love'.

Banyak lagu yang terinspirasi dari masa isolasi yang terjadi di saat krisis akibat pandemi ini, namun 'Bigger Love' boleh dikatakan satu yang terbaik.

Lagu sensual ini seolah ingin memamerkan kemampuan John dalam menghadirkan musikalitas yang baru dan segar, alih-alih bertahan pada sound R&B yang menjadi ciri khas yang kita kenal baik dari dirinya. ‘Bigger Love’ adalah sebuah banger yang memadukan nuansa tropical dan dancehall di dalamnya. Hasilnya sebuah pop-dance yang catchy dan adiktif.

UPDATE

John Legend sudah meng-update detil untuk album ketujuhnya, "Bigger Love." Ia baru saja mengungkap cover dan juga tracklist untuk albumnya.

I’m so excited to introduce my new album #BiggerLove to the world. Here’s the album cover painted by brilliant artist @charlylpalmer. Swipe for the track list, including my amazing featured guests. This project has been a labor of love for me, something I’ve spent over a year conceiving and creating. I poured my heart and soul into these songs and collaborated with some incredibly gifted co-writers, producers and musicians. The songs are inspired by the loves of my life: my wife, my family and the rich tradition of black music that has made me the artist I am. All of these songs were created prior to the world being rocked by a pandemic, prior to the latest police killings in the U.S. that sent so many to the streets in protest. During these painful times, some of us may wonder if it’s ok to laugh or dance or be romantic. Lately, the images of black people in the media have been showing us with knees on our necks, in mourning, or expressing our collective outrage. We feel all those emotions. But It’s important for us to continue to show the world the fullness of what it is to be black and human. Through our art, we are able to do that. This album is a celebration of love, joy, sensuality, hope, and resilience, the things that make our culture so beautiful and influential. I’m under no illusion that music can save the world or solve the world’s problems, but I’ve always turned to music to help me through tough times and I know many of you have done the same. That’s why I couldn’t wait to release this album to the world. I debuted in 2004 with an album called Get Lifted. And now, as we enter the summer of 2020, I hope this new album can get you lifted again, fill your hearts with love and inspiration, give you something to dance to, something to hold hands to, something to make love to. A week from today, on June 19, I invite you to experience a #BiggerLove.
