Well known for world class production values, a selection of leading yet diverse acts and an unparalleled comfort atmosphere, the ninth staging of the Festival is expected to supersede previous expectations.
Legend’s album, Get Lifted, is his “major label debut album on Columbia Records. On the album, he shows his dynamism of fusing “classic old school soul music with the edgy flavor of 21st century hip-hop.” Although he is new to the scene as a solo artiste, this unique and multi-talented artiste, has recently been nominated for four (4) VIBE Awards. Last month, he collected the MOBO Award for Best R&B Artist.
With Get Lifted, his major label debut album on Columbia Records, Legend demonstrates a rare ability to fuse the “feel” and vibe of classic old school soul music with While the romantic themes of traditional R&B permeate John’s Get Lifted, there’s alsoa street-worthy hipness and confidence: the sensuality of Marvin Gaye and the sincerity of Stevie Wonder merging with the directness of Snoop Dogg and the wit of Kanye West. Yet, John Legend is very much his own artist, gifted with singular talents and a unique sensibility.
Already confirmed for the festival is Shaggy, Al Green, KEM, Maxi Priest, Morgan Heritage, James Ingram, Air Supply and many more!
