American singer-songwriter John Legend dropped a new song "In America" for the second season of WGN's acclaimed TV series "Underground".
The song was co-written by John Legend and songwriter Dave Tozer.
"Underground" is a scripted series that fearlessly illustrates the struggles slaves endured before the Civil War.
Recently, John Legend teamed up with Ariana Grande on "Beauty and the Beast" soundtrack. Also, he embarks North American tour at Bayfront Park Amphitheater in Miami, FL on May 12, 2017. Learn more tour dates, click here.
About the new song, John Legend said;
"'In America' was born around the same time I was working on my most recent album Darkness and Light. It’s a song I was writing while thinking about the duality of America, where it's known to be this place of freedom, equality and where anyone can make it. The song points out the tension between the promise of America, the ideals of America, and sometimes us not living up to those ideals in practice. 'In America' was perfect song for Underground, a series I’m incredibly proud to be a part of, and one that does a beautiful job of portraying a challenging time in our nation’s history while reminding us that change is possible."-
