My Favorite Dream is John Legend's first children's album, a collection of songs and lullabies for kids that he co-wrote and produced with Sufjan Stevens, who produced the record's tracks. The album frames Legend's soul and pop sensibility for a young audience, with several songs aimed at bedtime, including the closer 'Go to Sleep.' Family voices appear on the record, with the lead single 'L-O-V-E' credited to Legend with Chrissy, Luna, and Miles alongside Sufjan Stevens.
John Legend's ninth studio album (tenth including Wake Up!), released November 22, 2024. My Favorite Dream is a children's lullaby album produced entirely by Sufjan Stevens, created for Legend's children Luna and Miles. The album is intimate and sparse, featuring mostly original compositions alongside a Bob Marley cover ('Three Little Birds') and a Jimmie Davis standard ('You Are My Sunshine'). Legend's wife Chrissy Teigen and their children Luna and Miles appear as featured performers on 'L-O-V-E.' 'Always Come Back' incorporates a composition by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley.
