John Legend's one of those people who can brighten a day.

So we're lucky during these times to be getting some new music.

Rick wanted to talk to an uplifting artist for the podcast and John was one of the first

people that came to mind.

And the timing was perfect because John just released Actions, a song off his new album

that's due later this year.

Rick and John are both sheltered in a place at the moment while we ride this virus out.

You probably saw John's living room concert with his wife Chrissy Teague in this past week,

so we connected with John via Zoom.

It's the first time we've done a remote recording like this for the podcast, but it was a nice

trial run since we'll likely be doing a lot more of this in the future.

And since it's our first go at it, you'll probably hear some kids crying in the background,

and this episode's definitely a lot shorter than usual, but when John's album comes out

later this year, we'll definitely try to get him back on.

In the meantime, enjoy this conversation between Rick and John Legend.

This is Broken Record, liner notes for the digital age.

Here's Rick Rubin and John Legend.

What's happened, Rick?

How are you feeling?

I'm feeling great.
