Q&A: John Legend on his ambitious children’s album, ‘My Favorite Dream,’ and new single, ‘L-O-V-E’

John Legend is venturing into new territory with the release of his first children’s album, My Favorite Dream, on August 30, 2024. This album, produced by Sufjan Stevens, features nine original tracks, two covers, a solo piano piece, and three bonus Fisher-Price covers. The album is designed to appeal to both children and adults, with themes of love, safety, family, and dreams. Legend, a father of four, wanted to create music that resonates with parents and children alike, reflecting his own experiences with his family. The album’s first single, “L-O-V-E,” features vocals from his wife Chrissy Teigen and two of their children, Luna and Miles. Legend hopes the album will convey the love he put into it and that it will become a meaningful part of family life for listeners.
