John Legend to write new album, produce TV shows

“I’m not giving up my day job, I’m finishing an album now, I’ll tour on it and do all the things I’ve always done,” Legend said.

“But I have a great (production) team, and all of us have a mandate to try to tell great stories and make the world a more interesting place by getting those stories out there. So while I’m on the road, I’ll be reading scripts,” he said.

Some of the screenplays he’ll be reading are for episodes of “Get Lifted”, his current TV project.
