John Legend has a children’s album on the way, and the singer has revealed the unlikely collaborator he enlisted to produce it: Sufjan Stevens . My Favorite Dream , out Aug. 30, also features appearances by Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen and their two children Luna and Miles.
All three contribute to the album’s first single “L-O-V-E.” In an interview with the Associated Press , Legend spoke about recruiting Stevens for the project and what he brought to My Favorite Dream . “He’s singing a lot of backup, and he’s such a genius.
I have been a fan of his for like 20 years. When I was writing these songs, my first thought of who I wanted to produce this was Sufjan, because I love how dreamy he can make music, and how whimsical, and how much character he has to everything that he makes,” Legend said. “And I just felt like it would be the perfect energy for a children’s album: To blend my songwriting with his production and arranging and playing.
You just hear his influence all over the album and I love it.” Legend added of Stevens, “I was so happy he said yes because you never know if someone’s gonna want to make a children’s album with you, and we had never worked together. We had never even met before we started working on this.
