Common ft. Pharell – Announcement [Geffen Records]

Commons new collaboration with Pharell has been on the promo circuit for a few days now under the name of „Announcement“ and has to be filed under not being that essential as his former 12“es but is a nice, laid back tune still that totally makes sense when one finds himself cabrio cruising on some beach boulevard, checking out chicks. On the flip there’s „UMC (Universal Mind Control)“ which is more uptempo, clubby and somewhat between Busta Rhymes’ „Don’t Touch Me“ and Missy’s more 808-breakdance-flavored tunes beatwise and might be suited in any proper oldskool Electro-set as well.
