You saw the exclusive stills we posted earlier this week and now here is the trailer to Common’s newest video for “I Want You” (produced by will.i.am).
Actress Kerry Washington who also served as the co-director of the video spoke to SOHH last week about working with Common.
“Common called me and asked me if I wanted to be ‘the girl’ in the next video because we’ve really always had a mutual respect for each other’s work and I said that I would do it if I can direct it,” Washington told SOHH. “And he was like, ‘Alright well write a treatment.”
“One of the really cool things about the video is that it’s totally star studded,” Washington said. “It’s myself, Common, Alicia Keys [and] Kanye West. It’s really fun. I’m loving it even more than I thought I was going to.” [SOURCE]
The video will premiere on 106 & Park on October 23rd and on TRL on October 25th.

am I the only one who thinks it’s pretty much stupid to make a trailer for a 4 minute video?
This song has a very afrocentric feel to it. the lead girl should be darkskin not mixed. But hey, light mixed race girls are hotter than us ol’ darkies so whatever.
Who does a VIDEO teaser? How hot is that?
@28
Dark skin is not ugly it is beautiful.
who cares if the lead is light skin? she’s black! people get on my nerves with this light skin/dark skin shit, get over it, were all black and beautiful!
innit wt da hell al shades ov brown r beautiful wether u be yellow drk or lite skinned..pple r so ignorantt nowdays..sort it out!!!
Ummm Common is the past/present/ and future of hip hop. Sexy as he wants to be
I just saw the full video on cable on MTV Jams. Liked the music and the video. Wondered if the silhouettes of Common and _______ were Kerry or Alicia. Hmmmm….. Kinda steamy.
