Black Eyed Peas' forthcoming fifth studio album "The E.N.D (The Energy Never Dies)" has finally got a release date. Carrying "a lot of dance stuff, real melodic, electronic, soulful" music, the new effort will make its way out in U.S. on June 9 via Interscope Records. For the album's first single, the band has released a song called "Boom Boom Pow" which is currently on top of Billboard Hot 100. They are scheduled to embark on a tour across the globe with complete tour dates expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
will.i.am previously revealed that the record will be dropped as "a diary of music" with "a lot of international inspiration." He said, "When it comes out, there'll be 12 songs on it, but the next day there could be 100 songs, 50 sketches, 1,000 blogs all (online) around 'The End' so the energy really, truly never dies."
Taboo meanwhile shared they mix electro sounds with hip-hop music for the follow up to their 2005 studio album "Monkey Business". "will.i.am was doing X-Men the new movie ['X-Men Origins: Wolverine'], so he got inspired in Australia to do electro music," Taboo explained at the re-opening of the Conga room in Los Angeles. "So we fused electro with hip-hop and made our own mesh." (Source: Ace Showbiz)
