Black Eyed Peas Open Up About New Album 'The Beginning'

November 30, 2010
Black Eyed Peas Open Up About New Album 'The Beginning'The Black Eyed Peas have opened up about their new album ‘The Beginning’.

The album, out today (November 30), is the follow-up to 2009's 'The E.N.D'.

"Because the last record was The E.N.D. [and] for every ending is a new beginning that's why it's The Energy Never Dies. We're still showing you the energy, so let's call it The Beginnin," Will.i.am told MTV News.

He added: "The E.N.D. was a zeitgeist of the time, articulating that it's the end of the era. We're still passionate about music, so The Beginning [is] utilizing all the technologies, doing new things. Stuff like that, that's The Beginning."

The group's last album 'The E.N.D.' has sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and spent 52 weeks on the Billboard Top 200 chart.

Meanwhile, the Blackl Eyed Peas are set to appear on this week’s X Factor semi-final to perform new single ‘The Time (Dirty Bit)’.
