Grammy winning rap superstar Common stars in his most provocative video ever, “I Want You,” debuting this week featuring Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Derek Luke, tennis star Serena Williams, Will.I.Am and acclaimed actress Kerry Washington (“Ray,” “The Last King Of Scotland,” and “Mr. & Mrs. Smith”) who also served as the co-director.
“I Want You,” produced by Will.I.Am, is the latest single from Common’s G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records CD Finding Forever which debuted earlier this year at #1 on Billboard’s “Hot 200” chart.
After making his acting debut last year with Keys in “Smokin’ Aces,” these dynamic performers are reunited as lovers in this powerful and passionate video inspired by the 1986 Mickey Rourke/Kim Basinger erotic classic “9 1/2 Weeks.”
“Kerry and I have always admired each others work and always wanted to collaborate on a project. When we began planning for the video for “I Want You,” I reached out to Kerry to star in it and it developed into her directing. She had a strong vision for the song that grabbed me from the start so we got our cast and crew together and made it happen,” states Common.
