Short intro

Electric Circus is the fifth studio album by rapper Common, released December 10, 2002 on the now-defunct MCA Records. The album was highly anticipated and praised by many critics for its ambitious vision. However, it was not as commercially successful as his previous album, Like Water for Chocolate, selling under 300,000 copies. An eclectic album, Electric Circus featured fusions of several genres such as hip hop, pop, rock, electronic, and neo soul. I wasn't feeling hip hop, the rapper remarked. It's no surprise that the uestlove tracks push the most unclaimed territory. The Roots' Phrenology record, which appeared concurrent with Electric Circus, also flips the script on preconceived notions of beats and rhymes. Electric Circus. Vinyl Me Please. Commons 2002 album is a massive group effort: Prince, Erykah Badu, Pharrell, Jill Scott, and many more built a sound that helped change the limits of rap, soul, and R&B. During a run of years in the mid-late 90s and early 00s, hip-hop found a comfortable recording home in the iconic Electric Lady studios. Album 2002 13 Songs. Electric Circus Common. 13 tracks 72:20. Released December 10, 2002. Electric Circus Tracklist. Commons Electric Circus was a departure from his previous work as he was inspired by Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd to mix his hip-hop with rock, pop, and electronic elements. This change caused a critical divide with some praising Common for thinking outside the box, while others felt the sound deviated too far from his core. The album features a host of guest appearances, including Prince, Jill Scott, CeeLo Green, Bilal, and words from Lonnie Pops Lynn among others. The albums lone single was Come Close, which features Mary J. Blige and was produced by The Neptunes. Summary: On his fifth album, the underground rapper ventures more into the rock, soul, and jazz territory of his influences, with production help from the Soulaquarians. An eclectic array of guests includes Prince, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Bilal, Mary J. Blige, and Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier. Record Label: MCA. This item:Electric Circus by Common Audio CD .
