Fergie - 'NEW Album Era' 2008

[––•( Miðð )•––]

Fergie Ferg's new, confirmed by producer Will.i.am, is "half way done." It is expected to drop sometime during 2008. So far, we don't have a title for the new album.

Discuss the new album here. I'll be posting news and updates on the album as soon as I get them; you should too. :)

From Rolling Stone (September '07):

Last year this month, Black Eyed Pea Fergie released her now-double-platinum solo album The Dutchess, and she hasn’t exactly taken a breather since. MTV News reports that she just shot a clip for “Clumsy,” and fellow Pea Will.i.am, who executive produced her LP, tells Rock Daily they’re well on their way to album number two. “It’s already half done,” Will.i.am says. “If [label head] Jimmy Iovine said, ‘Will, I need a Fergie record, turn it into me next week.’ I’d have it.” (Apparently Fergie nixed the idea of getting it in stores for Christmas: “Would have been dope though,” Will laments). So how exactly does a Fergie album come together? “When I record, I like to record fifty songs,” the producer, who’s also currently working in the studio with Michael Jackson, explains. “For Fergie’s record it’s like, okay, we need two songs that are like ‘Fergilicious.’ We need two songs that are like ‘Glamorous’ for balance. We need two songs that are like ‘Big Girls Don’t Cry.’ You can’t have too much of the same shit. You’re gonna be sitting on great songs, it’s just that for diversity, you’ve got to make cuts.” With all the Fergie in the hopper, does Will.i.am ever worry that older tracks might seem stale? “What’s stale to me is fresh to you,” he quips and launches into a condemnation of artists who turn their backs on stellar material. “You could be sitting on great things and because you’re tired of it you don’t put it out. I know a lot of artists that are like, ‘I just don’t like that song no more.’ Fool! You’re an idiot, that song is dope. Their new shit is doo-doo, that shit is wack, and they just like it ’cause it’s new. You don’t ever want to like something just ’cause it’s new.”

WHY.



I like Fergie but she needs to go away for awhile.

ukh
go away fergie!!! ... take a break for god's sake and let people miss you ..

[₫anny Jerz ♔]

I don't mind more Fergie.

[realityBITES]

Already?

[Deleted]

I wouldn't mind a new album if she changed her sound a bit. I would like her to do something a little more upbeat and serious. No 'Fergalicious' or 'Glamorous' or anything like that. Something more along the lines of 'Say it Right' in style.

[कामसूत्र]

I'd like a new album, but not quite so soon. Late '08 would be just right.

^Sorry, I didn't see that one..

I think Apl and Taboo (of the BEPs) are releasing solo's next year as well. The new BEP album is supposed to be out in '08 also... so, maybe Ferg's album will be delayed?

[jams]

I hear the BEP, Apl and Taboo were releasing albums, I didn't think Fergie was going to. I thought Will was just commenting on the fact he could make another album because he had so many songs he would use.

From what I heard, Fergie said her next CD will be less eclectic since she wanted to touch on all aspects of what she likes in her first CD. I think she wants it to be a more specific sound. IMO she is capable of a lot of different styles, and I heard she would like to do a more rock album. Having seen her in concert, I think she could do different types of CD's.

I love her CD, and IMO it's doing so well after being out over a year and a few months because it is a very good CD. I don't tire of it at all, which is unusual. If Will and Fergie can put another CD together that is as good, I saw bring it on!

^When she did "Barracuda" when I saw her in London, she was rocking the stage. She could pull off a few rockish tracks. She also went crazy when the rock part in "Mary Jane Shoes" came on.

[snappysnap]

Hmm...so what about BEP?? I think she's planning to follow Gwen's route -- one super-smash solo album (LAMB), one album which is good but doesn't perform as well (TSE) and then head back to her group (No Doubt).

[Glove Slap]

I'll be checking this out, but for some reason I have a feeling that there is going to be a BGDC rip-off here to try to get another hit like that...

[beaston]

Too soon...this will underperform.

[CarrieUfan]

It won't come out before a new bep album..

"Say It Right" is not serious, LOL! Nelly said herself she doesn't know what its about & neither does anyone else. But, I get what you mean & that'd be kind of cool to hear from Fergie.

So there is a new BEP and also a new Fergie album out with not a big gap in between them?

it will be a fergie overkill!
