John Legend albums aren’t quite as eagerly-awaited as they were ten or fifteen years ago. That’s perhaps what’s driven him to try mixing genres. With Bigger Love, his seventh album, he tries fusing trap and soul on Ooh Laa, then ostensibly covers the famous intro to Dr. Dre’s The Next Episode on Actions. In fact, right from the start of this new project, it’s clear that he’s not trying to create something new. This is both the strength and weakness of Bigger Love. The artists that inspire him are already a little outdated; he sounds like Drake on the eponymous track, for example. He’s trying to be modern, but his awkwardness suggests an endearing sincerity, almost as if he’s unable to change. The problem is that even though this gives us brilliant tracks such as Remember Us, a duet with Rapsody, or the soulful Slow Cooker, we’re also served up some overly-sentimental ballads. Conversation in the Dark and Never Break should perhaps be avoided, though they don’t reflect the colourful spectrum of this album packed with contrasts.
