Electric Circus is the fifth studio album by American rapper Common, released on 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 features fusions of several genres such as hip hop, pop, rock, electronic, and neo soul. "I wasn't feeling hip hop," the rapper remarked. "So my motivation for that album were other genres of music, like Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix. It wasn't hip hop." This was Common's second and last album for MCA, and the label's final release prior to its absorption into Geffen Records.

  • Electric Circus est le cinquième album studio de Common, sorti le 10 décembre 2002. Cet album marque un véritable tournant musical pour le rappeur qui s'essaie ici à une musique lorgnant vers l'electro, le rock et même la pop. Si les critiques ont plutôt félicité l'originalité de l'album, les fans de Common ne l'ont pas du tout suivi et l'album n'a pas eu le succès de son précédent opus, Like Water For Chocolate. Cet album est le deuxième et dernier album de Common sorti chez MCA Records. Lonnie « Pops » Lynn, qui apparaît sur une chanson, est le père de Common. (fr)
