Black Eyed Peas New Album Coming Soon

Black Eyed Peas release new album The Beginning later this month and now will.i.am has revealed the influence behind the record.

Discussing the follow-up to last year’s The E.N.D., the rapper and producer said the new album is inspired by the 1980s.

"The 80s was unique. It launched humanity into hyper mode. From then to now we’ve transcended to a totally different culture," will told the Daily Star. "Now we have high definition, 3D animation, whereas the beginning was Tetris and Space Invaders. That’s what we’re doing - we’re connecting the pixels."

Will.i.am also revealed how he had to improvise making some parts of the album, because it was recorded on the road during the band’s world tour. "We had no speakers so I had to hijack the hotel television set and plug my computer into it. Some songs are 120 beats per minute and others are, like, 320."

The Beginning is released November 26.

Black Eyed Peas Get Sued For Stolen Song "I Gotta Feeling"

Texan song writer Bryan Pringle has made the allegation that his song 'Take A Dive' has been recomposed by the BEP and their record label Interscope.The originality of Black Eyed Peas hit single ‘I Gotta Feeling’ is being questioned in yet another lawsuit against the chart toppers

Pringle claim that he sent the version in nineties to the band but they never responded and now he thinks that they are taking profit from his hardwork

A previous case against the 4-piece was resubmitted on the same day as this new one and is being looked after by the same law firm

A lawyer representing the singer suing over another BEP hit ’Boom Boom Pow’, has said on MTV.co.uk: “A simple listening of the two songs will tell you that the songs are substantially similar, and that the hooks of the two songs are virtually identical in rhythm and lyrics”

According to MTV Uk claim hat Interscope with the Black Eyes Peas have shown “a pattern and practice of intentional copyright infringement of unknown or lesser-known artists”.

Black Eyed Peas : Will.I.Am defends 'blackface' performance at MTV VMAs

If there hasn't already been enough outrage over the 2010 MTV VMAs, the internet is now firing not just at Lady Gaga's steak-and-kidney frock but at Will.I.Am's face paint. The Black Eyed Peas frontman has hit back at criticism of his "blackface" at the awards show. "Let go of the past," he wrote. "There are far more important things to bark about."

Will.I.Am appeared in the pre-show for Sunday night's gala, performing Check It Out with Nicki Minaj. While his partner donned purple lycra and a hot pink hairdo, Will.I.Am went for black leather, dark sunglasses and pancake makeup. It was a look more Max Headroom than Al Jolson, but never underestimate the internet's capacity for righteous indignation. Before long, Will.I.Am was being accused of poor taste, minstrelsy and even "setting black people back".

The rapper seemed scarcely able to believe it. "Are you guys serious?" he wrote on Twitter. "My outfit set 'black people back 100 yrs'?" Telling fans to "choose your twits wisely", he insisted that "no education sets people back, [or] no jobs, [or] bad health". "Just because I wear all-black clothing including head mask ... it shouldn't be looked at as racial," he wrote. "There are far more important things to bark about (jobs, health, education) [than] a black man wearing all black everything."

Amusingly, the artwork for the song Check It Out shows Will.I.Am in the same costume, but has the opposite problem – a complete lack of colour. But the Black Eyed Peas frontman's best response seems to be his coincidental new song for Sesame Street, What I Am. "I'm going to keep my head up high," he sings in the video, which debuted this week. "Nothing's going to bring me down." Perhaps he should dress up like Big Bird.

Black Eyed Peas pour it hot in Ottawa

OTTAWA — It didn’t take long for the party to get started at the Black Eyed Peas concert Sunday night at Scotiabank Place.

In fact, it was instantaneous, as each member of the California super group rose up through the stage floor to the pulsating beat of Let’s Get It Started, a sure-fire party favourite. Bathed in a green laser-like halo, they certainly kicked off the concert in grand style to the delight of the crowd of 15,200 who danced in the aisles, fists pumping through the air.

“Wassup, Ottawa?” came the cry from the stage, and the audience responded, giving back lots of love and admiration to the group which is surely one of the most entertaining concert attractions today. Pure energy, high-voltage music with catchy hooks and a sense of dramatic posturing makes the group fun to watch and listen to.

The quartet is in the midst of a world tour titled The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies) that began last year and they show no sign of fatigue. And whether they are performing solos or together on stage as a unit they excel as performers and singers.

Stacy Ann Ferguson — better known as Fergie — is the centrepiece of the group, and she showed her vocal talent on Meet Me Halfway, her soaring voice piercing the rafters of Scotiabank Place, or getting funky on Don’t Phunk With My Heart. She even strutted down the catwalk that jutted out into the audience, showing that she can strut with attitude with the best of models.
