What happens when an EGOT Winner, the best lyricist, and the grandson of an art prodigy collab? Masterpiece.
John Legend, The Voice coach, has a new song out called "Tomorrow," which he wrote in conjunction with rapper Nas and Pablo Picasso's great-grandson, DJ, and producer Florian Picasso.
In addition to the tune, a series of new NFTs showcasing the legendary artist's work are featured.
"Tomorrow" is not the first time Legend has written a song with the same title. He previously released a song with the same name on his 2013 album "Love in the Future", but this new tune is different. There are lots of feel-good sentiments in this airy tune with Legend singing:
"Hello to tomorrow / Hello to tomorrow / Can not wait to get started / Can not wait for tomorrow, tomorrow," among other things.
Nas makes a swift entrance on the track for two consecutive rap lines, during which he mentions Legend and Picasso. Picasso, art, and Nasir are some of the themes that he raps on in the second stanza.
"Take a deep breath, everyone / And inhale what this is givin'," John Legend sings.
"Tomorrow" is an accompanying song made to go with the new project by Florian Picasso and his mother Marina (Pablo Picasso's granddaughter), including NFTs inspired by a piece of artwork done by the iconic artist.
The Florian Picasso NFT Collection
The Picasso estate has intercepted the sale of more than 1,000 NFTs that will be released by Picasso's granddaughter Marina Picasso and her son, Florian.
Marina and Florian initially arranged a sale for the ceramic work, dating from 1958, by Picasso at an actual auction and as well as coin the piece as an NFT (non-fungible token).
However, the Picasso estate prohibited the sale without their approval.
More commonly known as "Man & the Beat", the crypto collection would be considered "counterfeit" if pushed through.
Both Legend and Nas have written a new song for the NFT drop, run by Mil & Honey Labs, a company that manages music and sports. John Legend and Nas also sang and rapped at the music.
Carbon180, a non-profit group that focuses on climate change, would have gotten a share of the money.
However, it is unclear where the ceramic piece would be auctioned in person.
