You can hear the influence in tracks like the James Poyser co-produced “Retrospect for Life” with Lauryn Hill, and the Questlove assisted “All Night Long” featuring Erykah Badu. It’s here where he aligned with the Okayplayer set, the Soulquarians and other like-minded artists, adopting a smoother sound driven by soul and live instrumentation instead of boom bap and chopped-up samples. One Day It‘ll All Make Sense is undoubtedly still a rap album, but it marked the beginning of a new creative path for Common that he still travels today. The first two albums were straight-up rap and arrived during that glorious time in the ‘90s when every new release felt like an instant classic. Even the name on the cover changed, as the man we knew as Common Sense was now just Common thanks to a lawsuit with a band going by the same name. It’s different thematically, artistically and spiritually relative to his earlier works, both excellent in their own right (1992’s Can I Borrow a Dollar? and Resurrection in 1994). Happy 25th Anniversary to Common’s third studio album One Day It’ll All Make Sense, originally released September 30, 1997.Ĭommon's second album is named Resurrection, but the true rebirth came with album number three in 1997, One Day It‘ll All Make Sense.
