Song of the Day: Common & PJ - Imagine

Common presents his new single Imagine featuring PJ. The song follows his excellent 2020 album A Beautiful Revolution Pt 1. The Wicked Sound favorite hip-hop record from the previous year.

I wrote ‘Imagine’ at a time when we were all going through a lot. But something kept telling me to focus on the good and the things I wanted to see in the world. For me, music is one of the things that gives me hope and happiness throughout these times, whether I am creating it or listening to it. So I wanted ‘Imagine’ to create that feeling of how you can play a song and feel inspired. How a song can make you move and also move your spirit. Essentially, I want us all to feel like days are getting better and that great times are ours for the taking. And the first step in feeling that way is imagining it, Common said about the song.
