Wow, a summer season! Will help Medge's album for sure.
Are they even trying any other singles for Fergie? Or is a mid-40s peaking single all we'll ever get?

Fergie should focus back on acting.

I’m pretty sure Double Dutchess is dead. I can’t believe how after all this time and years to plan, they dropped the ball this hard. Yes it was a ridiculously long hiatus, but she was still A-list and relevant when this dropped. How they couldn’t get the right material, OR figure out the right game plan/proper marketing, after all that time, is mine blowing.

She looks very surprised in those photos. "Fergalicious" has become a karaoke anthem I have noticed--lots of men go up and sing it.

It's crazy that they couldn't find a single track that wasn't a complete mess for this bitch to record.

I don't think any of her singles have really held up (maybe Glamorous can be argued, and LB is fun trashiness, but not what I'm talking about), but overall she is a respected veteran in the business. It's known that she'd been in entertainment for a long time, had struggles, but found a very successful period that's around an alright eight year period for a group, and during that time she had immense success. Basically this is Fergie & will.i.am. And this is the public. There are worse places to be.

She has looked surprised since 2006 tbh. Maybe a little more surprised than usual in recent years but she’s been rocking this emotion for awhile.

I’m surprised “M.I.L.F. $” was a song pick!

I was surprised to not see her all over the Black Eyed Peas album. What's the deal there?

Black Eyed Peas explain Fergie's absence
(CNN)The Black Eyed Peas are back after a decade with a new album, but one member is missing. Singer Fergie is not on this latest project, and the group is explaining why. Fergie is "focusing on being a mom," Will.i.am told Billboard. "That's a hard job, and that's what she really wants to do and we're here for her, and she knows how to contact us for a retreat or a breakaway," he told the publication. "It's really the way Fergie designed it, so we're respecting her design. We love Fergie, and we don't want anything but awesomeness for her." Fergie shares a 6-year-old son, Axl Jack, with ex-husband, actor Josh Duhamel. She joined the group, which in addition to Will.i.am included Apl.de.Ap and Taboo, in 2002 and sang on some of its biggest hits, including "Where Is The Love," "Let's Get It Started," "I Gotta Feeling" and "Boom Boom Pow." The members pursued solo projects, and Fergie went on to host the Fox reality singing competition, "The Four." Now the Black Eyed Peas have a new female singer, J. Rey Soul, and a new album titled, "Translation."At the time of the interview, Will.i.am told Billboard Fergie hadn't heard the new album yet, but he hoped she likes it. "We try to keep in touch," he said of her relationship with the group. "We reach out every once in a while and say our hellos and happy birthdays and Merry Christmas and Happy Easter. She knows where we're at! We're at the studio." www.cnn.com/2020/06/23/entertainment/black-eyed-fergie-trnd/index.html

Reminds me of what a big era her first album was. Man, she just waited way too long for that comeback.

^ What was it, 12 years in between albums? Even Adele couldn’t pull that off. Shame bc Fergie had a pretty unique brand and could’ve kept going with it for at least another couple of albums.
Her album is a total classic

^^ Wasn't she recording and touring with The BEP's after her debut?? It's not like she disappeared?? Yeah -- and honestly, apart from them actually being innovative and having songs that were eaten up by radio, I think the fact that she was such a solo success translated into an even bigger interest in BEP. But their touring ended around 2012. She released L.A. Love in 2014, which peaked at 27 on the Hot 100. I think Interscope expected a Top 10 so they went back to the drawing board. Had she continued releasing songs I think they would've been moderately successful, but she didn't release a solo album until 2017 and I think people just lost interest. MILF $ also went viral in 2016 pretty quickly, and Interscope was not able to capitalize on that and ended up removing the adds date for the song. I don't think this was ever discussed by Fergie, but I assumed this is what caused her to leave Interscope, go to BMG and make her own imprint under Dutchess Music (causing an even longer delay on the album being released). As far I remember the album was ready when MILF $ was released.

As far I remember the album was ready when MILF $ was released. The MPG's from 2006 - Nelly, Gwen and Fergie - have all had a hard time. All took what felt like forever forever to follow up with their mainstream solo albums, and the GP (and the sound of pop music) had just moved on by the time they resurfaced. The problem with Double Dutchess is that it sounds a lot like leftovers from 2014, rather than a reinvention. MILF $ was never going to be a radio hit - it's barely listenable outside of the video.
