Wake Up!

JOHN LEGEND & THE ROOTS Wake Up! (2010 UK 2-disc [CD/DVD] album set - Musical powerhouses John Legend & The Roots present fans with a fiery new offering. After being inspired by the recent historical Presidential election campaign of 2008, the R&B singer Legend and hip-hop band The Roots felt a need to enter the action. What started as plans for a single quickly developed into a passionate album representing change, hope and activism. 'Wake Up!' features eleven profoundly evocative songs infused with sounds of gospel, rock and reggae inflections with hip-hop influences, highlighted by familiar tracks like 'Wholly Holy' by Marvin Gaye and 'Little Ghetto Boy' by Donny Hathaway mixed with the more obscure selections of Baby Huey and the Babysitters' 'Hard Times' and 'Hang on in There' by Mike James Kirkland. The album features one original composition, Legend's song 'Shine', a Stevie-Wonder-meets-gospel stunner, clearly demonstrating the strengths of this specific group of musicians. Comprising the 12-track CD album featuring the single 'Wake Up Everybody', plus a Bonus DVD [details TBC])
