Common says his new album shall be entitled "Finding Forever," due out who knows when. Hokey title? Perhaps, but then again this is the guy who wanted to call his album "The Is-ness."
Common's new album “Finding Forever”
Common is about to hit the studio to record a new album, to be entitled “Finding Forever.”
The follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2005 LP “Be” will feature songs the Chicago rapper hopes will stand the test of time.
Common has started work on his seventh album, "Finding Forever". "Finding Forever really means to find a place in music where you can exist forever," Com explained. "Music can be forever if you make it from the heart, if you make it from the soul and it’s good. And I look at music like Bob Marleys or Marvin Gayes or Stevie Wonders or A Tribe Called Quests, that’s forever music. And I’m continuing on the quest to make forever music."
Common has big plans for the album, "I want to work with Kanye again," Common said. "And I would love to work with Dr. Dre because it’ll be something fresh for me because I feel like he’s someone who is a classic producer. I like people who can consistently do it throughout time and be great and I feel that Dr. Dre is one of those individuals."
In other related Common news, the rapper has finished filming “Smokin’ Aces”, a dramatic crime film due out later this year. The movie also features Alicia Keys’ on-screen debut alongside Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven and others.
