Fans say that Legend combines the Latin sexiness of Shakira, the powerful voice of Mariah Carey, and the spicy musical style of Ricky Martin, in a fresh and totally unique way.
Legend’s music ranges from high tempo dance/club music (Jump Into My Heart) and classic rock (No Questions Asked and Golden Angel) to Romantic Ballads (Hold Me Forever). Her music features classical Latin undertones like Salsa rhythms (Ivonne De Leon and Boy You Did My Wrong) as well as hot new Reggaetón material (La Traidora).
Legend’s music is a reflection of what is going on in the whole world between men and women. Is not just a CD for listening. It is also a mirror of the good and bad experiences of people’s daily life. “My lyrics are a sample of what I lived during my childhood, my life and the experiences of people near me. I think I am the voice of women everywhere” says Legend.

“What I really love about singing is being able to reach into someone’s soul and touch their life in a special way. By writing my own music, I feel that I can do this even better – it’s as if I am having a very personal and intimate conversation with each of my listeners." -- Legend
