John Legend’s Grammy-winning debut album Get Lifted is getting the expanded deluxe treatment in commemoration of its 20th anniversary.
Out today, Get Lifted (20th Anniversary Edition) is not merely a timely and expected reissue of a long-celebrated album. Instead, Legend has assembled a roster of special guests—including Lil Wayne, Killer Mike, Tems, Simi, and Black Thought—to expand the listening experience. Featured across the new 26-track edition are bonus tracks, remixes, rarities, and a pair of previously unreleased studio performances.
In a statement, Legend, whose most recent album My Favorite Dream arrived back in August, said his debut has “always meant so much” to him and his fans.
“These last 20 years have taken me far beyond my wildest dreams,” he said. “Revisiting the original album and some of the unreleased songs from that era has been such a meaningful experience. Reinvigorating the music with fresh remixes and collaborations featuring some of my favorite artists makes this celebration even more special."
The album is out now on streaming services; additionally, fans looking for a physical version have a variety of options.
Get Lifted's anniversary expansion comes in a year full of such watershed moments. Green Day's American Idiot, also originally released in 2004, recently got an anniversary deluxe edition of its own spanning over four hours.
