Black Eyed Peas New Single “Boom Boom Pow” Official Video and Rating

Posted by fjgirls in April 22nd, 2009

Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas are back with a new single and new album both with the same name, Boom Boom Pow.Â A stunning new look brunette Fergie,Â a confident in your face title that says we are the business, we are back, and everybody else get out of the way. Lets see if this track/album title actually delivers what it promises or is it hype and bravado and not much else?

See the previous post on the making of this video and the creative thought process behind it, interesting viewing , its an analogue v digital scenario and this song picks up on our ever changing fast paced digital society that we now live in. All clever stuff but whats the song and vid like.

The Verdict:

Good intro, plenty of boom and loads of pow, the new brunette Fergie is cutting it in the looks department and vocally, the rest of the crew are on song, its a punchy kicking number, good lyrics, classy video and its got an original sound which Black Eyed Peas are renowned for, and above all its catchy and addictive but has some sort of shelf life instead of the throw away after 50 plays tag.

A decent tune that clearly hasÂ had some creative thought put into it, Â already getting air play from the streets of London with convertibles with bass bins, so it has street cred and it takes a lot to get that in London.Â But seriously, very few criticisms apart from minor repetition, this is genre specific, just a bit more soundstaging wouldn’t go amiss again genre specific, otherwise we like a lot. Rating 3 and half stars out 5.Â Chart wise should fly, but depends what else is out there at the time. No1 can’t be ruled out, as it has that potential, due to the catchy punchy factor!

Now wheres that replay button!!
