Common To Release "Universal Mind Control" On Dec. 9
Posted: Tuesday - November 25, 2008

Common Platinum recording star Common is set to release his highly anticipated new studio album, Universal Mind Control on December 9th on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. Universal Mind Control follows last summer's release Finding Forever which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

The techno-inspired club banger, Universal Mind Control, presents a fresh sound and change of direction for the Chicago-bred musician. Common created Universal Mind Control because he felt the feel-good music was the only music missing from his body of work.

"I've always been passionate about what I do," says Common. "I put my heart into Universal Mind Control, and I think it'll reach audiences I've never touched before."

Produced by The Neptunes and Mr. DJ (of Outkast fame), Universal Mind Control hosts a number of fun-filled tracks including Make My Day, a sunny hip-hop version of California Girls with a Cee-Lo hook, and Everywhere, an upbeat duet that draws its guitar riff from Pat Benatar's Love Is A Battlefield. The Chicago MC manages to remain true to his roots with What A World, a story that is based on Common's journey of overcoming long odds to find success that features a catchy hook by pop duo Chester French and Changes, an optimistic look at the future that pays homage to President Elect, Barack Obama.

Early praise on Universal Mind Control includes reviews from outlets such as Rolling Stone who says UMC has "hyperspeed dance-floor jams spiced up with futuristic effects and deft lyrics," while Entertainment Weekly states that Universal Mind Control is "packed with flashy synths and catchy hooks."

The new album will hit stores on December 9.
