Black Eyed Peas have returned with bravado. Their new single, Boom Boom Pow, has been number 1 for 7 weeks. When I first heard Boom Boom Pow, I thought it was awful. It didn't have any flow and Fergie's singing part was painful. Then, it grew on me. Sure it's a mess, but damn does it sound good on the radio and after a few listens, the song clicks. I'm actually surprised it's a hit because it's a pretty weird song. Not their best, but a grower. They released another song from their new album, The E.N.D. this week onto iTunes called Imma Be. It's repetitive like Boom Boom, but ultimately I think it's a little better. The song really gets going around the 2:20 point where it becomes really danceable. This isn't their best either, but...there is good news. Their second single off The E.N.D was premiered yesterday on the KISS FM station in LA. It's called I Got A Feeling, and it's a damn good pop song. Much better than Boom Boom and Imma Be. It's less futuristic electro, more straight up fun time. It just makes you feel good. Perfect for summer. I have high expectations for the new album, out June 9th. Monkey Business, their last album was really great and still is.
