Wake Up! (John Legend and The Roots album)

''Wake Up!'' is a collaborative studio album by American R&B recording artist John Legend and hip hop band The Roots, released September 21, 2010, on GOOD Music via Columbia Records. It was produced by Legend with band members Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and James Poyser, and features guest appearances by CL Smooth, Malik Yusef, Common, and Melanie Fiona, among others. Inspired by the 2008 United States presidential election, Legend and The Roots primarily covered 1960s and 1970s soul music songs for the album with social themes of awareness, engagement, and consciousness.
The album debuted at number eight on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, selling 63,000 copies in its first week. Upon its release, ''Wake Up!'' received positive reviews from most music critics, who complimented its production and the artists' treatment and performance of the material. It would go on to win the 2010 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album.〔(Grammy.com - Past Winners )〕
== Background ==
''Wake Up!'' follows the releases of Legend's ''Evolver'' (2008) and The Roots's ''How I Got Over'' (2010). Legend and The Roots were inspired to record a collaborative album by the 2008 United States presidential election.〔MacManus, Christopher (June 28, 2010). (John Legend & The Roots Collaborate To Engage Listeners With Wake Up! ). Sony Insider. Retrieved on 2010-09-19.〕 In an interview for ''Billboard'', Legend explained the album's conception at the time, stating "I was in the middle of campaigning for Barack Obama and feeling inspired by the atmosphere in the country at the time, so I wanted to do something musically that reflected that moment. The original idea was to do some sort of covers EP, but the more I got into it with the Roots, it felt like something that should be heard and marketed on its own".〔Herrera, Monica (September 17, 2010). (John Legend & ?uestlove: The Billboard Cover Story ). ''Billboard''. Retrieved on 2010-09-19.〕 The album's title was inspired by Canadian rock band Arcade Fire's song of the same name.〔
