New Single: Common

I was once at a dinner with a few friends and the conversation for some reason came around to Common.  I blurted out, "I love him!" and my friend, who happens to be black, asked me why.  Was I a fan of his movies?  Did I like his music?  To be honest, I was caught off guard.  Why do I love Common?  I haven't seen a ton of movies he's in.  I've seen Date Night and Just Wright (which I happen to love...judge me, go ahead).  I don't know him, though I AM convinced we crossed paths when he went to FAMU.  My friend DJ'd at a club where a lot of FAMU dudes hung out and I worked the door on that particular night.  I do like his music, but wouldn't exactly say that I'm an expert.  I love "Go" and "Universal Mind Control" is on my workout playlist.  But, the reason I love Common, which I was embarrassed to admit, is because he's hot.  Let's be honest.  I mean, I'm not fooling myself into thinking that he would go for a goofy white lady, such as myself, but the guy is easy on the eyes.  And, he has a sultry voice that makes you want to turn the lights down.  Rawr.


So, hearing that Common has a new record out makes me happy.  Because I love him.  "Blue Sky" is a really great song.  And the video?  Well, that'll be on repeat for a minute, as they say.
