John Legend is head over heels in love in the romantic video for "All of Me," the latest single lifted from his recent fourth studio album "Love in the Future." The newly 34-year-old married R&B crooner, who wed supermodel Chrissy Teigen on September 14 in Lake Como, Italy and sung this song to his bride during the nuptials, and gets intimate with his new wife in the beautiful black-and-white clip. "Very excited to share my new music video for 'All of Me'," Legend tweeted. "This video is very special to me and you'll see why.
The moving ballad finds Legend returning to his piano-driven roots. The heartwarming ode to loving someone else, like many of the other "Love in The Future" tracks, is addressed to the singer's real-life wife Teigen, 27, they met on set of Legend’s video for "Stereo" in 2006. "All of Me" typify Legend's current commercially friendly, sentimental sound: "All of me loves all of you / All your perfect imperfections / Love your curves and all your edges." Legend told BBC News about Teigen's influence on the album: "The overwhelming sensibility is one of optimism. She's definitely affected my songwriting."
Legend told Digital Spy that the first time he sang this song to Teigen, she cried. Producer Dave Tozer told SonicScoop about the song's production. "This is a very simple, stripped-down arrangement," he said. "It's just piano, vocals, some robots, a couple of synths, and some Moog bass. The weight is all on Legend's vocal. And then I harmonized a bunch of his vocals to sound like robots - an Eventide piece might have been used, and the TC Helicon VoiceLive. The VoiceLive sounded cool and gave some great results."

Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the pensive black-and-white uber-sexy clip is certainly personal enough, the newlyweds give a personal glimpse into their love life, what with all those intimate shots of him tickling the keys, their honeymoon in Italy, a series of steamy scenes get naked and makes love in the shower and underwater, while he serenades her with his sweet song. The video steps it up at the end by tacking on actual footage from their very recent actual wedding and their first kiss as a married couple.
