Next Black Eyed Peas Album Will Mark 'The End'

Black Eyed Peas forthcoming studio album will mark 'The End' - “The Energy Never Dies”.

The album, which is the follow-up to 2005's 'Monkey Business', will be released in shops next March.

Speaking to Billboard, frontman will.i.am said 'The End' was more of a “music diary” than a conventional album.

"It's a diary ... of music that at any given time, depending on the inspiration, you can add to it," 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.

"I'm trying to break away from the concept of an album. What is an album when you put 12 songs on iTunes and people can pick at it like scabs? That's not an album. There is no album anymore."

will.i.am added the album would mix dance music with more melodic compositions.

Black Eyed Peas are expected to return to the road next summer in support of the album.
