John Legend is thankful to Andre 3000 who is featured on his new single and it's companion video "Green Light." "Andre obviously blessed it," says Legend, who will release his third studio effort Evolver this fall. Directed by Alan Ferguson, Legend recently shot the video for "Green Light" with Andre 3000 which he recalls "I felt like it was a perfect match, and then he came and gave a great verse. He really loved the song, and he really wanted to do it." According to a recent interview with MTV News, Legend is "lensed" chasing after a beautiful starlet at a lavish Beverly Hills party in his new video which is set to premiere in the next few weeks. "The video definitely has that story line in it, but we just take it kind of different places to do some unexpected visual things. We have this surreal kind of dance sequence, and it features synchronized swimmers and showgirls. We just throw a little extra twist on it" says Legend. Legend's upcoming album, "Evolver" is due in stores this October featuring production from Kanye West, Will.I.Am and Pharell.
