John Legend hopes to \’evolve\’ with new CD

With his new CD, \”Evolver\”, multi-Grammy winner, American soul artist Legend aims for a big expansion of his fan base.

Now he says he wants his shows to fill arenas, not just theaters.

Legend has some big-time help: Not only is friend and mentor Kanye West backing him up, Legend also called in Andre 3000, Ne-Yo and Pharrell.

Legend also says he drew inspiration from British soul diva Estelle, who also appears on the new CD.

She blazes her accent onto the reggae-flavored \”No Other Love.\” Brandy also sings a duet with Legend.
