Common set to release Invincible Summer on June 24

Common set to release <i>Invincible Summer</i> on June 24

Common, the man who once announced to the world that he was music, is back with some more...wait for it...music. Entitled Invincible Summer, the album hits stores on June 24, just in time for the last long stretch of summer.

The MC recently spoke to Billboard.com about the album, saying, "I created this music for the summer time, it's about feeling good. This is the type of music I felt was missing from my body of work."

Invincible will feature an array of artists that include Cee-Lo (of Gnarls Barkley) and super-hyped/super-awesome newcomer Santogold.

No word currently on what's going on with The Standard, the group that Common and Q-Tip formed last August and toured on in the fall. The pair has yet to properly announce an album, though MTV.com says it will come out sometime in 2008.

In the meantime, our friends at self-titled have a play-by-play reaction to each of the eight songs Common previewed last week for music journalists. And if you just can't get enough Common this summer, you can check him out in the film Wanted with Angelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman on June 27.
