Sufjan Stevens has produced a children's album for John Legend

"He’s singing a lot of backup, and he’s such a genius. I have been a fan of his for like 20 years. When I was writing these songs, my first thought of who I wanted to produce this was Sufjan, because I love how dreamy he can make music, and how whimsical, and how much character he has to everything that he makes. And I just felt like it would be the perfect energy for a children’s album: To blend my songwriting with his production and arranging and playing. You just hear his influence all over the album and I love it," John Legend said to Associated Press about working with Sufjan Stevens.

"I was so happy he said yes because you never know if someone’s gonna want to make a children’s album with you, and we had never worked together. We had never even met before we started working on this."

"L-O-V-E", the lead single from the forthcoming album features John Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen, as well as their two children, Luna and Miles. My Favourite Dream is his first ever children's album, and follows 2020 release LEGEND.
