Grammy-winning artist John Legend is expanding his repertoire with a new endeavor. On August 30th, the singer-songwriter and instrumentalist is set to release his debut collection of children’s music, titled My Favorite Dream. The announcement was accompanied by a pre-release single featuring his family, titled “L-O-V-E.” Stream it below.
My Favorite Dream will feature nine original tracks, all of which were produced by Sufjan Stevens. In addition, as part of a collaboration with Fisher-Price, the LP will feature three instrumental covers of songs children might recognize from their own toy lines.
“I’m right in the thick of fatherhood,” Legend shared in a statement. “My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us, and Chrissy and I also love singing to our kids…In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”
As for working with Stevens, Legend highlights the fellow singer-songwriter’s “sense of whimsy, adventure, and dreaminess” as the factors that made him the “first and only choice” for the role of producer.
John Legend is currently on the road with a tour schedule running through October. He’ll be hitting cities like San Diego, Tampa, and St. Louis in the coming months — grab tickets here.
Earlier this summer, Sufjan Stevens rolled out a reissue of his beloved album, Seven Swans, to mark the project’s 20th anniversary. Take it home in vinyl format here. Meanwhile, the Tony Award-winning Broadway adaption of his album, Illinoise, wraps production this weekend.
