New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Tomorrow,
Common - the Emmy-, GRAMMY-, and Oscar-winning rapper, actor, activist, and best-selling author - will release his twelfth studio album, Let Love. Inspired by a phone call from his daughter that forced him to reconsider his approach to fatherhood, faith, and family, Let Love is "a captivating tale about using love as a weapon to overcome" (Exclaim). The result is a wide-ranging, therapeutic statement that delves into modern Blackness, police brutality, toxic masculinity, and so much more — a triumph of self-reflection and self-love.
Watch
Common "bring the challenges of
Black fatherhood to life" (Essence) in the touching video for "Show Me That You Love" featuring
Jill Scott and Samora Pinderhughes: https://youtu.be/Z_Kae_LaQ1g
