Black Eyed Peas the E.N.D. world tour comes to the UK
Black Eyed Peas have been around for quite some time now, but its only
fair to recognize that Stacy ‘Fergie’ Ferguson brought some fresh air and dusted off what was colourless and dull. Black Eyed Peas was suddenly interesting again. Their third album, Elephunk, was the group’s first to feature the vocals of Fergie and also the group`s first big hit.
Since then the LA group have been constantly surprising with their mix
of techno and RnB, turning the band leader Will.I.Am into one of the hottest names in the music industry. He has since performed with Prince, worked with (and courted) Cheryl Cole and produced the successful Fergie solo album.
Black Eyed Peas last record, The E.N.D. (Energy Never Dies), is full of bubble gum songs, computerised voices and electro beats, reassuring their commitment to a good party. Its interesting how they fit into hip hop culture as much as they do into a trendy DJ’s set list, appealing to a vast audience and promoting light-hearted fun. If you are among those trying to ignore Black Eyed Peas ascent and still don’t know how to sing along I Gotta Feeling, well, “you are so 2000 and late”.
The E.N.D. World Tour 2010 comes to the UK in May. Black Eyed Peas play in Dublin, London, Manchester and Birmingham. Tickets are on sale now.
