John Legend – Green Light

Green Light is the first single from John Legend’s upcoming album, Evolver. The song is produced by and features André 3000 of OutKast. The song was released as a single download on July 29, 2008

“The song is simple. It’s just me trying to pick up a girl at a club and convince her to come have some fun with me. [The video] definitely has that story line in it, but we just take it kind of different places to do some unexpected visual things. We have this surreal kind of dance sequence, and it features synchronized swimmers and showgirls. We just throw a little extra twist on it. We wanted to mix a current, modern feel with an old-school, classic Hollywood feel because the song has kind of a big-band quality to it as well as a more modern dance-song quality. We wanted to mix the two different parts.”
