With St. Patrick’s Day only a few days away, this week’s Throwback Thursday song is “Green Light,” by John Legend and Andre 3000. Released in 2008, “Green Light” was the lead single from Legend’s third studio album, Evolver. The song showcased his ability to change musical styles from adult contemporary to club bangers. It also established him as an R&B artist who could successfully crossover and collaborate with hip-hop artist.
