Details: Product Description 'Monkey Business' features 16 tracks, including collaborations with godfather of soul James Brown ("they don't want music"), Justin Timberlake ("My Style") and Sting ("Union"), 'Monkey Business' Spans a hip -hop spectrum from pop to surf to soul. Recorded in Los Angeles, New York, Piladelphia, London, Miami and even the peas' tour bus and a Japanese bullet train! The album was produced largely by Will.i.am. The first single 'Don't Phunk With My Heart' samples Lisa Lisa & The Cult Jam's 'I Wonder If I Take You Home'. AM. 2005 Amazon.ca Keeping in step with Elephunk, Black Eyed Peas' Monkey Business is a cross-genre journey peppered with props to hip-hop, rock, folk, funk, and pop. The group invites high-profile guests to pump up the jams, with solid results. "My Style" is Justin Timberlake's BEP foray number two. The song delivers funky fun, but those anticipating a repeat front-and-center performance from "Where is the Love" might be disappointed (no sweet soulful solos this time). Other guests include Jack Johnson, who cowrote the bling-bashing "Gone Going," Sting on "Union" (recalling "Englishman in New York"), and R&B legend James Brown offers up a scorching soul track dubbed "They Don't Want Music." Femme fatale vocalist, Fergie, who joined the band as they were recording Elephunk, has raised her profile considerably on the band's fourth disc. Sassily fronting her way through songs like "My Humps," the "Hey Mama"-esque "Dum Diddly," and the single "Don't Phunk With My Heart," Fergie's melodic outpouring colors the record in a way that will appeal to wide audiences, resulting in a progressive "hip-pop" release. --Denise Sheppard Recommended Black Eyed Peas Discography
