Common – Finding Forever
I would write an exhaustive review of this album if I had some time to, but I just wanted to say that although “The Game” is promoted as one of the singles on this album, it sounds nothing like the rest of the tracks on Finding Forever. The album itself is light-hearted and whimsical, although taking on more serious and pressing subjects. Kanye West does some amazing things with production, using some amazing samples in “The People”, “Break My Heart”, and “Misunderstood” (revisiting Nina Simone). There’s also a track by will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, and one track from Jay Dee’s The Shining with vocals added by D’Angelo.
Common and Kanye do not fail to impress, and, like his previous disc,Be, it’s better taken as a whole than a collection of individual songs (except, of course, “The Game”, which needed to be on a mixtape and not this album).
