Today, Common and Vevo share two new live performances for “Hercules” and “Fancy Free Future Love” as part of Vevo’s new original series, Ctrl, from his new album Let Love, “a very personal exploration of Common’s relationship with love” (KCRW). In the videos, Common seems one with the music, delivering his signature incisive wordplay as he envelopes himself entirely into the message and movement of the music.
