Get Lifted

Get Lifted is John Legend's 2004 debut album that blends contemporary R&B, neo soul, hip hop, and pop around piano-led arrangements and warm, expressive vocals. The songs move between intimate ballads and groove-oriented tracks that incorporate soul-sample production and hip hop influences, with themes focused largely on love, relationships, and personal reflection. The record introduced Legend as a singer-songwriter and pianist with a smooth, emotive delivery and helped establish his mainstream profile.
