Being as John Legend has one of the smoothest R&B vocals in the game and has years of success, it's surprising to think that he hasn't released a Christmas album yet. Clearly, 2018 is his year since he's just announced his first holiday tape and accompanying tour, A Legendary Christmas.
The 14-track album featuring Stevie Wonder and Esperanza Spalding will arrive on October 26th and will include classics such as “Silver Bells,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)," and of course original songs cooked up by John and his team.
As for the tour, things will kick off on November 15th in Clearwater, Florida and run for 25-dates before ending in San Diego on December 30th.
Check out the official tracklist and tour dates below.
