The Beginning - CD

Black Eyed Peas: The Beginning versie op CD in standaard editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa bij uitgeverij Interscope Records op 31. augustus 2023.

The Black Eyed Peas are back with a brand new studio album "The Beginning". While the last album "The E.N.D.", which was released in June 2009, was a symbolic abbreviation of the words "The Energy Never Dies", this time it's the real beginning! "The Beginning" is symbolic for the reception of new technologies such as augmented reality, 3D and 360° videos. At the same time, this record is also about daring to experiment, taking old songs we love from the past and adding a crazy new beat to them," said the will.i.am frontman about the new album. The new album "The Beginning" will reach fans in several formats. In standard CD form and also as a deluxe version on CD, which will be enriched with three bonus songs. For those who don't have last year's album, the new album will also be released as a combo containing two discs - the album "The Beginning" and a carrier called "The Best Of The E.N.D." The first single was chosen to be a very danceable affair, a single called "The Time (The Dirty Bit)." This song samples the great classic hit from the movie "Dirty Dancing", a song ("I've Had) The Time Of My Life", recorded in 1987 by Bill Medley with Jennifer Warnes. The Black Eyed Peas have already made a music video for the song, which was directed by Rich Lee. He also worked with the band on the video for the double single "Imma Be Rocking That Body" and in recent months has also shot videos with Eminem ("Not Afraid"), Fergie ("Clumsy") and The Pussycat Dolls ("Hush Hush"). The Black Eyed Peas are undoubtedly one of the most important bands of the last two decades. To date, they have sold more than 28 million records worldwide and nearly 31 million digital downloads. Sales of their latest album "The E.N.D." has already surpassed 11 million worldwide, and in the last 20 years, The Black Eyed Peas are the only band to have five singles from a single album reach the top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart...
