John Legend Hooks Me and You With "You and I"

Call it boastful if you want but John Legend is one heck of an apt name. It's easy to see how women are putty in his hands after one listen to the numerous lovely bon bons he's planted in their ears in recent memory. "You and I" is his current missile to the heart, bow and arrow drawn a la cupid. No matter what atmospherics are placed in front of him he never fails to give the feminine side of the population what they want and then some. For openers there's this sensually arousing guitar that might mislead you into thinking the entire architectural dimensions of the song boils down to its warm, perspiration engulfed dimensions. You would be wrong. Before we're done he's slipped into jazz, keyboards, and an understated bit of percussion, which only seeks to demonstrate how multi faceted his play for the heart of women everywhere happens to be. You'd think the man had Sue Bee honey dripping from his veins after getting an ear full of such delightful sentiments as, "You stop the room when we walk in" and "All of the stars you make 'em shine like they were ours". Seriously ladies, don't you want to scratch out the eyes of whoever Mr. Legend's current arm candy is? He's put on some maturity weight since last decade when he was dotting the charts with "Used To Love U". His prickly needles have dropped around him ten years later. "All Of Me" was and still is a monumentally wonderful love ballad. That's one ten years down the line we're still gonna get goose bumps both recalling and listening to. "You and I' isn't as delicate but what it likes in tender loving soft it makes up for in long lasting sex appeal. When there's nothing getting between you and a crystal clean vocal performance as is true when John returns successfully, time and again to that sweet spot that gets women riled up in fits of ecstasy you're dealing with a world class talent who owns the concert stage, wherever he goes, for whatever length of time he plays. If you're convinced it's a heavenly gift I say you definitely have a point there. I'm convinced that no matter what tragedy befalls what person a little John Legend at the very least distracts you from the cruel sting of what your universe has delivered to you. He says you're his one and only girl and damned if you're not instantly hooked. John's not reinventing the wheel. He's simply giving women the attention they crave so much. John sings to each member of his audience like that one person was the only one in the room. They'd be guilty of assuming John wrote that song just for them. John's career arc has gone from modestly agreeable to flaming comet of late. His cornered market on beguiling balladry demonstrates why. "You and I" charms the pants off of romantics, hopeless or otherwise which is remarkable news for you and me.
