R&B mainstay John Legend has spoken about Mr West producing his new album.

Billboard reports that the triple-Grammy-winner said that he a Yeezy are “off to a good start” Legend's his fifth studio album.

He said backstage at the Grammys, “We worked together pretty closely on it, he's executive-producing it, and co-writing a lot of stuff with me, and I think it's going to be fun.”

They head back into the studio for another fortnight in March and he said he hopes to be finished before mid-year.

He appeared on the track ‘Blame Game’ from West’s 2010 opus My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

Legend also quashed rumours that there would be another installation of his last record, which was a collaborative album with The Roots.

He said that he recorded different versions of the songs on last year’s Wake Up! but didn’t have any left over.
