Rhythm & blues singer/songwriter/musician John Legend returns with
his new studio album "Darkness & Light." It it his fifth studio
album and his first in three years. It features guest appearances from
Chance The Rapper on the funky bass line of "Penthouse Floor" and
Brittany Howard on explosive blues of "Darkness And Light." Then Miguel
joins Legend on the quiet duet of "Overload" as the beats just float on
by in the background. The album's first single "Love Me Now" is an
addictive, pop-infused gospel sing-along, while "Right By You (For
Luna)" is a lullaby for his newly-born daughter. The new 12-track
release closes with the emotional ballad "Same Old Story" as Legend's
vocals take the spotlight along with the dance beats of "Marching Into The
Dark." John Legend's new album "Darkness & Light" was released on
December 2nd through Columbia Records. To find out more, please visit johnlegend.com.

Twelve-year-old Grace VanderWaal recently released her first album
titled "Perfectly Imperfect." Grace was the season 11 winner of NBC's
"America's Got Talent" and four of the album's five songs were performed
during the competition. The innocence in her voice and the strumming of
a simple ukulele is all that is needed in the opener "I Don't Know My Name" to
fall in love with this new artist. Her vocals soar during "Clay" and
she is having fun with the more upbeat rhythm of "Light The Sky." Her
short new release closes with the pop tones of "Gossip Girl." To find

British singer/songwriter James Arthur recently released his second
album titled "Back From The Edge." Arthur was the season nine winner of
the British singing talent show "The X Factor." His self-titled debut
album reached #2 on the U.K. charts and his new Columbia Records release
topped the U.K. charts and broke into the U.S. album charts. His new
thirteen-song release begins with the title-song that showcases Arthur's
R&B/pop vibe. The album's latest single "Say You Won't Let Go" has a
modern-crooner feel as Arthur's vocals grab hold your heart. The music
builds in "I Am" as James Arthur pours all his energy into his delivery
of the song's chorus. He delivers the seventies, dance-funk of "Sober,"
before finishing with the gospel-like ballad "Let Me Love The Lonely"
and the up-lifting build-up of "Finally." To find out more about James
Arthur and his latest release "Back From The Edge," please visit jamesarthurofficial.com.
