John Legend graces the cover of Uptown magazine's July issue. Inside, the R&B veteran speaks about his upcoming album, Love in the Future, which he describes as "purely autobiographical."
Legend says of the album title, "I am beginning a new journey...it is about embracing that future with optimism and hope and knowing that it’s going to be an interesting journey."
After confirming his wedding ceremony will be in the fall, John adds that he's "looking forward to having kids and growing old together" with fiance Chrissy Teigen. He shares, "We have already been together for quite some time. It’s been great."
On the topic of babies, the singer, who is good friends and a frequent collaborator with Kanye West, gives his take on what kind of father 'Ye will be to his newborn daughter, North West.
"I don’t know and I don’t want to speculate," he explains. "Fatherhood is something that you grow into. No one is born a father."
"You do not start learning to be a father until you meet your child. But [as an artist], he is focused, passionate, and on a mission to get his thoughts out. He will continue to have people talking and challenge his listeners. That’s his role and he has been great in that role so far," Legend says.
John reveals that Kanye will lend his "creative genius" to Love in the Future, which is expected to arrive on September 3 via G.O.O.D. Music/Columbia.
