Every once in a while, I discover an artist who is simply brilliant when it comes to creativity and originality and just plain greatness. My latest discovery has been blaring in my car, my house and headphones for the last week. His name is John Legend, and his song "Ordinary People" is a breath of much needed fresh air.
I think I like the song so much because of the simplicity of it (it's like him and a piano, with an orchestra at the end), of how raw the music and his voice sounds -- like he's sitting in my living room playing a tune that he's been working on is how the song comes across. There are hints of "Suddenly" by Lionel Richie and "Yesterday" by John Lennon in the song. Love it.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
