Black Eyed Peas Peas new Los Angeles band founded in 2003, is a funk/hip-hop group inspired by soul music, jazz, Latin rhythm and live singing spirit. It is composed of four members: will.i.am, Fergie, apl.de.ap and Taboo. In 1998 and 2000, it released two albums, Behind the Stage and Bridging the Gap, which were well received by all the musicians. Their creative attitude towards the music global village transcends all kinds of music and diversified Latin, Indian and Asian national melodies, and is deeply recognized by musicians. The second album "Bridging the Gap" attracted the creative director of Fugees Wyclef Krivdin and DJ Premiere to join hands at the helm. Grammy winners for Best Female Singer Macy Gray, De La Sol, mos def, Jurassic 5 and French R&B/ jazz band Les Nubian also came to help out, among which "Request Line" co-sung with mercy Grey won the second place in the rap singles list.
In 2003, black eyed peas Chorus released a new masterpiece, Elephunk Funk Elephant, and the orchestra had a new friend, Stacy‘Fergie'Ferguson. Fergie used to play live just to make friends, but she was invited to join the black eyed peas Choir because of the amazing sparks in the studio. Will.i.am, the person in charge of this series, has spent a lot of ingenious thoughts on the rhythm arrangement, such as inviting Justin Timberlake, the solo superstar of the Super Boy Choir, to make a friendly voice, calling on the world to put aside prejudice, spread true love, and "raise your hand" with a quick-talking rhythm. Just like the song "Smells Like Funk" sung by Louis Armstrong, a legendary vocal instrument, there are also supporting structures such as live instruments, music samples and drums. Brand-new representative works of rhythmic cross-dressing include "Anxiety" with Papa Roach, and the album sold platinum. "Let's Be Mentally Retarded" by alicia keys, an upstart who won five Grammy Awards, is an interesting masterpiece "it' s Holiday" adapted from Madonna's famous work "Holiday" and a song "apl Song" written by apl.de.ap in memory of his brother who died in the Philippines. The popularity of black eyed peas Chorus soared, and Super Boys Justin and christina aguilera invited black eyed peas as a hot guest in the summer concert tour in 2003.
It can be seen that black eyed peas is not a simple combination of singing and reading. They combine various musical elements to create their own unique hit-hop style, which constitutes the mainstay of non-commercial hip-hop music.
From 2003 to 2004, a song "Where Is The Love", which they performed together with Justin Timberlake, made a hit, and the album "Elephunk" sold more than 2.5 million copies in the United States. Since then, the title song of M Business has been "Don't have a hard time with my heart". In the new album, I continue to work with Justin to create my butterfly. In addition, I collaborated with james brown, a punk veteran, on They Don't Want Music, and with Jack Johnson, a rock singer, on Far Away.
Black eyed peas Choir is very popular and has a fever. It is often invited as a guest by popular TV programs. In the summer of 2005, black eyed peas released his fourth album, The Business of Monkeys. For a singer, every album is a journey. In fact, the process of recording this album is a crazy journey-they travel through London, come to Brazil, go to the United States, and record various sounds in airports, hotels, bus halls, museums and even bathrooms to complete this album. Bass guitar, Latin rhythm, hip-hop beat and ear-grabbing melody can be called a crazy and gorgeous music journey.
