An evolving Legend
Springfield’s John Legend got a big publicity boost for his new album, Evolver, which was released Tuesday, Oct. 28. As the story in USA Today advised, “Reach for it.” Noted the newspaper’s reviewer, Elysa Gardner, “His new album has a relaxed, sunny vibe, but there are shades of melancholy and urgency.” There also are shades of Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Brandy, Estelle and Andre 3000, all of whom contributed to the album. — D.L.

Levinson, 28, was profiled for his creativity in earning more than $200,000 in cash and prizes by producing homemade corporate commercials. For a Klondike bar commercial he traveled to the Arctic and filmed himself; for an Israel advocacy group, he appeared dressed as a penguin. “It’s so great to have license to be an idiot,” he is quoted as saying in the story, a quip that the paper also lists as its Quotation of the Day. Mr. Levinson, as he’s known to The Times, is the son of Jim Levinson and DDN staff writer Meredith Moss. To read the full story go to:
