John Legend has won just about every award imaginable, and he still feels that it isn’t enough. Even after having success in multiple industries, releasing seven superbly crafted albums, and achieving numerous accolades in film and television, he still maintains the drive to create music as if his life depended on it.

It is why he is one of a select few to have achieved EGOT status, which is a person who has won the four major awards: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.Today, the multi-platinum artist premiered the second single from his upcoming album, “Honey,” featuring Muni Long.

He spoke to ESSENCE about the song, his Vegas residency, and what keeps him inspired after over 25 years of recording music.

For him, it’s not about the last song, it’s about the next song.“I stay inspired to make music because I believe that I still have to prove myself every time I go to the studio,” Legend said. “I believe I have to prove myself every time I write a song, every time I put out a record, every time I put out an album – I can’t rest on what I’ve already done.
