When my friend told me that he had purchased "Wake Up" a collaboration album with The Roots and John Legend, I initially did not care too much. I had him burn it on my computer to see what it was about and I remember saying to myself, I'm never going to listen to any of these songs. Boy was I wrong!
Ever since I started to listen to the songs and started digest the lyrics, I have been in love with the album. Love, one of the main themes throughout the album, is expressed so well through the soulful voice of John Legend, along with the soothing instruments of The Roots.
The album definitely has a 70's feel to it like it was apart of Motown and Diana Ross and The Supremes. The songs are such feel good songs and took me from being in a bad mood, to being grateful for the simple things in life. The album is very inspiring to society as a song titled "Wake Up Everybody," talks about how we all need to wake up and change the world together as one.
The lyrics are simple, but convey such a strong and imperative message for our generation. So if you are looking for a album about peace, love, and happiness, look no more "Wake Up" is the album that you need to acquire if you have not already. Without a doubt the best album of 2010, so go get it!
