In this song, Legend speaks up against the current social condition as he sings, "All this trouble in this here town/ All this s**t going down/ When will they focus, on this." He goes on to criticize people with high social standing, singing, "I wanna get there babe, I wanna elevate/ Oh my favourite mix/ A little ignorance and bliss/ In the penthouse babe, go to the penthouse."
"Darkness and Light" is the follow-up to Legend's 2013 album "Love in the Future" and is due out on December 2. The album is produced by Blake Mill and features Chance the Rapper, Miguel, Kamasi Washington and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard. Legend released "Love Me Now" as the first single of the album back in early October. Chrissy Teigen's husband has also debuted the inspiring "Love Me Now" music video that highlighted Legend's post-election concerns.
