Single of the Week: The Black Eyed

ROCK THAT BODY - Black Eyed Peas

THE whispers a year ago as the Black Eyed Peas were about to release their latest album was that the band were about to call it quits. Naming their album The E.N.D. didn't help quash the rumours, although the world's No 1 hip-hop group said it was called The E.N.D. in to end all speculation! Glad that cleared things up then.

Hopefully the rumours are long gone then, as the Peas are having their most successful period in their 15-year career. This single hopes to follow the run of No 1s at the top of the UK charts (likewise in America, where they seem to have permanent residency). Yes, the vocal decoder is heavily used, almost like Will.I.Am paid a lot for the privilege and wants to get his money's worth. But there's no denying, it's a club stomper that would be more at home on a Calvin Harris album. The Black Eyed Peas are a band willing to take risks, try new things, and genuinely care about the sound they make – all good in my book.
