I am not good at keeping up with new music. I have friends for that. Friends like Robert and Karla and Terrell (he’s my play cousin in my imagination).
One day, I was in a John Legend rabbit hole and saw the title of a song from his latest studio album (that came out in 2021…). From the title alone I assumed I would like it and I wasn’t disappointed.
I’m pretty sure I teared up when I first heard Stardust.
It is the most beautiful truth that I love to write about wrapped up in music and sang by John freaking Legend. Ugh. So good.
I found a YouTube video of him performing it live. The still from above is from that performance. Don’t miss the gorgeous Black women donning their afro crowns jeweled with luscious cosmic-hued flowers.
I’m working on a piece that I’m excited to bring to you in a few weeks but I can tell it will take some laboring. I hope it reverberates with wonder and joy for you, until then, put this one on repeat!
