Does John Legend Make You 'Freak Out'?
This previously unreleased track from John Legend called "Freak Out" is definitely a trip. The whole thing is extremely ominous and definitely fit into a horror movie about a club stalking murderer who kills innocent by-dancers. The lyrics implore us to "freak out to the music," and elements of the song live the bass line and Legend's intent to get people moving would be better suited on something that wasn't so uncomfortably menacing. It's an interesting concept, though.
