Video is second from forthcoming album
John Legend debuts the video for “Honey” featuring Muni Long, the second single from his forthcoming album. The Christian Breslauer-directed visual is set in the aftermath of the retro house party featured in the video for “Dope,” the lead single from the upcoming LP. We find Legend passed out on the living room floor dreaming about the dance party that took place the night before. After a CGI bee sting wakes him up, honeycomb walls lure him to a secret room where he finds Muni in a vintage bathtub full of sweet glittery golden honey. The warm morning backlight glows off her skin as she uses her beauty to pull him closer.
“Honey” was produced by Ryan Tedder, Steven Franks, Lindgren and Tommy Brown, with Legend and Long serving as co-writers along with Melanie Joy Fontana, HARV, Gregory Heinn, Lindgren, Franks, Tedder and Brown. While Long and Legend previously worked together as songwriters, “Honey” is their first collaboration as recording artists.
Legend has been teasing “Dope” during his critically acclaimed, sold out first run of his new Vegas residency, Love in Las Vegas. Upcoming dates of the residency are August 5-20 and October 14-29.
Legend will perform two very special shows at The Royal Albert Hall August 5-6, 2023. A second night was added after huge demand saw the original date sell out.
In July, Legend will hit the stage at London’s iconic Somerset House for a sold out show, as part of the venue’s Summer Series.
