The Black Eyed Peas tops charts in move to Latin music

The Black Eyed Peas, whose music spans hiphop to soul to pop-rap, is topping the charts with the former quartet's first album in 2 yrs, featuring Latin pop artists such as for example Shakira. "Translation" also has tracks created with different Latin stars like J. Balvin and Maluma in a genre whose development has outpaced the entire US music market. "

I personally was inspired by this Latin movement," said Will.we.am, an associate of the current trio. "It's the virtually all streamed genre on Spotify. And to that, it's the definition of overseas pop." The album may be the group's second since Fergie kept around three years ago. "We have three No. 1's without, you know, the original lineup that you imagined was in charge of the pop success.

This record implies that it's the songs that contributed to (our success)," said Will.i.am. One track, "Girl Like Me," was documented in 2008 by Shakira and can.i.am but only released this week. The music video recording was shot with her in Colombia and the trio in California. Such distanced shoots could become the latest norm, said Will.we.am.
