Black eyed peas Taking a Break

black eyed peas 3 Black Eyed Peas Booking a Break

In what will undoubtedly come as a shock to nobody many, pop supergroup Black Eyed Peas are taking an ‘indefinite hiatus from working together’, according to lead singer Fergie. The announcement comes on the heels of two successful albums, world tours, and a slew of hit singles.

However, the ‘London Bridges’ singer was sure to emphasize that the break was not permanent stating, “We’re going to be taking a break just like we did after we released Monkey Business in 2005 until we came back in 2009…This isn’t going to be the last time you’ll see us.”

The group is currently in the middle of their aptly titled ‘The E.N.D.” tour.

I like their 2009 album 'The E.N.D.' but the latest album 'The Beginning' wasn't very good.I mean,there are some great beats and hooks,but it falls flat compared to the previous album.

They were cool at first but they really started getting annoying after this last album. They should have taken a longer break in between "The End" and the latest album they released. I don't care to see them for at least two years.

Just when I was warming up to their party-focused, unabashedly gimmicky, sample thieving, beat-driven, devolving music!

Here's another Kim era track.

'The E.N.D.' is excellent.I fell in love with songs like "Rock That Body","Meet Me Halfway" and "I Gotta Feeling".The follow-up 'The Beginning' was sorta disappointing.The songs are cool,but there's nothing that really grabs me the way that the songs on 'The END' did.They should have taken more time with that album.It needed stronger tracks.The first single "The Time (Dirty Bit)" was lazy and uninspired.

I'm thinking the hiatus is for her to have some babies.

Either way, Mazel Tov!

Taboo has yet to release a solo album of his own.

I think its safe to say BEP hasnt been good since Fergie joined (Not saying its the cause, but it is true). The first 3 albums were good, and they actaully rapped instead of the crazed Will repeating one line over and over again.
