John Legend has announced an unlikely collaboration with Sufjan Stevens for his new children’s album. Check it out below.Legend will release ‘My Favourite Dream’, an album he said is full of “sing-alongs and lullabies for children and families,” on August 30.

The record was inspired by his experience as a father to four with his wife Chrissie Tiegan.“My parents loved to sing around the house, making up bedtime songs for us and songs to motivate and inspire us,” Legend said. “And Chrissy [Tiegan] and I also love singing to our kids.

We make up little jingles and ditties for them all the time. In our home, music is very important to the way we interact and communicate with them.”Now, he’s announced that Stevens is the producer behind the record. “I just felt [Stevens’] musical approach would be perfect for building arrangements and soundscapes to complement the songs,” Legend said. “When I was thinking about who could bring these songs to life with me, he was the first and only choice.

I’m so glad he said ‘yes.’”The album will feature nine original songs, three covers of Fisher-Price songs, as well as three bonus tracks.
