Common New Album
Common is reportedly heading in a new direction with his soon to be released ”Invincible Summer”. Common hooked up with Neptunes and one-time OutKast contributor Mr. DJ for his new album, which is said to have a heavy electro-tinged feel to it. The lead single (which can be heard on Common’s official site www.common-music.com is certainly evidence that favours such an opinion; this high energy track is a deviation from the norm for Common, but he pulls it off nicely. With thumping techno-inspired drums and a catchy hook, this track is sure to get some serious attention.
Overdue as it may be (was supposedly due out in May, now slated for August) Common is sure to come correct once again, However, he is this time without long-time friend and collaborator Kanye West, who was too busy with his extravagant “Glow in the dark” tour to be able to contribute towards the album. Features on the album include Cee-Lo and singer-MC Santogold, who Common states is “one of my favorite artists right now.
Common is also set to appear alongside James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman in “Wanted”, his latest film effort, being released in America late June. Check out the official trailer below…
