Darkness and Light is the sixth studio album by American singer, songwriter, and pianist John Legend.

[2] Legend recorded the album at East West Studio 2 in Los Angeles.

[6] On November 18, 2016, the album's second single "Penthouse Floor" featuring Chance the Rapper, was released.

[1] Reviewing the album in The New York Times, Jon Pareles applauded its treatment of love as a multi-dimensional theme and "as something far more complex than a panacea and a fount of perpetual reassurance, with music to match".

[10] Writing for Vice, Robert Christgau cited the title track, "Marching Into the Dark", and "I Know Better" as highlights and said the lyric from the latter song ("My history has brought me to this place/This power and the color of my face") is "not an easy brag to bring off modestly, and the more I listen the more I appreciate the trick".
