Legend sought to move away from the "open mic" feel of early 2000s neo-soul, aiming for melodies that were "less smooth and more sharp".

The Sound That Changed R&B

In the mid-2000s, hip-hop was dominated by crunk and snap music, while R&B was leaning heavily into slow jams. Get Lifted did something different. It married classic 70s soul with raw, boom-bap hip-hop drums. john legend get lifted 2004zip
