Overview
- John Legend released the second single “Fireflies” and its black-and-white video on Sept. 25, with Pharrell credited as producer and co-writer on the track.
- The Paul Hunter-directed clip pairs Legend at the piano with the Hollywood Cinematic Orchestra and shifts between housing-project and studio backdrops to illustrate the song’s themes of hardship and hope.
- Muse is a 16-track album fully produced and co-written by Pharrell that Republic Records plans to release on Oct. 23.
- The rollout follows the lead single “Daylight” and includes reported guest appearances such as Clipse, though some guest credits remain limited in public detail.
- The pair began work on Muse in early 2025 in Pharrell’s Paris studio, drawing on gospel, soul, doo-wop and Afrobeat influences, and the producer-led approach could shape Legend’s upcoming touring, fashion and film opportunities.
