Final week, I had the privilege of assembly John Legend (I KNOW!) and listening to him play stay about 5 toes in entrance of me (I KNOW, I KNOW!) as he launched us to My Favourite Dream. His first kids’s album, produced by the unimaginable Sufjan Stevens is a love letter to his kids that all of us get to share with ours now.

The backstory is type of wild. It began along with his child daughter Esti, who cherished the “Perhaps” music from a Fisher Value Kick n Play Mat — although most mother and father are likely to realize it as “The Purple Cash Music.”

(I type of love that they didn’t have some fancy celeb playmat for his or her children — no matter meaning.)

The type of Fisher-Value playmat that began all of it — below $40 on sale proper now. Celebrities, they’re similar to us!

 Seeing as how John Legend is John Legend, he taught himself the Fisher-Value tune to play for his children. His spouse Chrissy Tegen uploaded the efficiency to Instagram, and their mixed gazillion followers cherished it a lot, they requested for extra.

So John wrote 9 authentic songs, plus three Fisher-Value songs (what a collab!) and the My Favourite Dream album was born.

Whereas the songs are a deal with — I imply, he may sing the authorized disclaimer from a pharma advert and we’d all hear, proper? — I notably adore the music L-O-V-E, that includes Chrissy and his personal children Luna and Miles singing backup. Luna even designed the art work for the only so it truly is a household affair.

Right here’s somewhat excerpt of the stay efficiency:

Take heed to your complete I Have a Dream kids’s album by John Legend by way of Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora…you identify it. And because of the PR workforce for inviting me to see him play!
