Anyone lucky
enough to attend a Black
Eyed Peas’ show
will tell you that it was a
magical night. With tracks like
the insta-party groove of “Let’s
Get it Started,” the Los Angeles
quartet is smokin’ hot.
After two records of street-soul
hip-hop, the Black
Eyed Peas began to
hit their stride with the
massive Elephunk record. The
timing was perfect, and fans in
Canada responded with tremendous
enthusiasm. The album, which is
approaching sales of 700,000
copies in Canada, saw the band
stay true to its positive vibe
and socially conscious
perspective, while broadening
its musical range. The addition
of vocalist Fergie was a
genius move that helped push the
Black Eyed Peas
into the forefront of
contemporary hip-hop acts.
And now, with their latest album
Monkey Business (Release date:
June 7th), the Black Eyed
Peas are ready to better the
commercial and artistic success
of their 2003 breakthrough. The
lead-off single “Don’t Phunk
with My Heart” is already
winning over programmers and
listeners across the land, and
looks like it will better the
incredible success of “Let’s Get
it Started” as the number one
party jam of the year.
To support the record,
Will.i.am, Fergie,
apl.de.ap and Taboo
are once again taking their
energetic stage show, breathless
verbal acrobatics and
genre-crossing hip-hop on the
road, giving fans another
opportunity to get phunky with
the Peas.
Don’t miss the Black
Eyed Peas when they
perform live in Victoria at the
Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on
Thursday, July 21st with special
guests Talib Kweli
and Jully Black.

Jully
Black is a name that
will soon be on
everybody's lips. Her
debut, This is Me
(scheduled for release
on June 21st), is an
album of sultry soul
laced with hip-hop, pop,
reggae and dub that
showcases not only her
immediately identifiable
voice but her
songwriting talents
(she's also written for
Destiny's Child and Nas)
as well. Jully, opening
for Black Eyed Peas on
their current tour, has
also appeared in the
Mirvish Theatre
production of "Da Kink
in My Hair", where she's
displayed her talent for
dancing and acting as
well as singing. Jully
has also shown her
commitment to expanding
her social consciousness
with a visit to
Bangladesh.
Early in her career, she
was first noticed for
her raspy, soul-stirring
voice by Toronto rappers
like Choclair, Kardinal
Offishall and Baby Blue
Soundcrew, who asked
Jully to sing and write
on their singles. Her
understanding of song
structure, melody and
expressive lyrics led to
a publishing deal, at
the age of 20, with
Warner/Chappell Music.
She continued to release
her own songs like the
top 40 hit "Rally'n',"
"You've Changed" (from
the Brown Sugar
soundtrack) and "I
Travelled" (which
appears on Women and
Songs 7). Along the way,
she's picked up four
Juno nominations, four
MuchMusic Video Award
nominations and has been
named one of the most
alluring Canadians by
Fashion Magazine. But
this is just the
beginning for Jully
Black, who finally comes
into her own with the
release of This is Me. |
