One of the most anticipated albums (at least for me) this year, is from the Black Eyed Peas – so you can imagine I was excited as hell to stumble across their new single “Boom Boom Pow” this weekend (it killed in the clubs!).

Fergie inevitably explores the charms of the vocoder (ala Lil’ Wayne, T-Pain, Kanye, etc. etc. etc.), and, well, if you don’t bounce in your seat to this, check your pulse (or your coffee cup depending on which time of the day you’re reading this).

(stands for the energy never dies) as early as this week!

Indicating a serious ability to roll with the times, will says, “You should make songs for where songs are actually being listened and played. We have new people � software programmers. They are just as important as me, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie.”

Sounds fly.� Between Britney, Beyonce, Kanye West, 50, and now the BEP, this Christmas music-shopping season is gonna be straight bonkers.
