Common: My Silo Playlist

Common co-stars alongside Rebecca Ferguson in the Apple TV+ Original Series Silo, a dystopian drama based on Hugh Howey’s best-selling novels. Silo tells the story of the last 10,000 people on Earth, who live in a giant enclosure deep underground. Common, who plays a character named Sims, has created a playlist of songs that helps capture the essence of life in the silo. Read about a couple of his favourite tracks below, and if you hear something you like, add it to your library. And don’t miss new episodes of Silo—streaming now on Apple TV+. D’Angelo, “The Charade” “It captures the facade and propaganda that many governments and politics use to encapsulate the people, and Silo is an exploration of that.” John Coltrane, “Body and Soul (Alternate Take)” “In the silo it’s a constant fight for your body and soul. John Coltrane expresses that sentiment in this purest form.” Mobb Deep, “Survival of the Fittest” “I chose this song because in the silo, a person’s awareness, ability to survive and manoeuvre is the only way they can make it in this challenging world.”
