Common was supposed to drop his eight studio album mid-July but didn’t get around completing it so his “Invincible summer” album, due out on Geffen Records, has been pushed back to a September 23rd release. Nothing points in the direction of an album name change as Common stated that he created the songs in a summer state of mind. So I guess his fans will be pushing summer to an extent, which is not a bad thing because summer hasn’t settled in at all for most of the north-east coast of the US/Canada. The album will feature production from The Neptunes as well as Outkast collaborator Mr DJ and collaborations from Santogold & Cee-Lo.
The 12″ for Universal Mind Control just dropped so here’s a free preview of what to expect, notably a throwback electro-funk feel à la Afrika Bambataa.
