Black Eyed Peas. Their latest disc The Beginning has really been quiet. They somehow aren’t creating that phenomenal impact like in the past even though the album is seriously good. However, the singles like this one is still doing great on the radio and continuing in proving why they’re the biggest pop group in the world. As for this video, it has all my personal tastes. I don’t know why, but a lot of videos today are having this 'metropolitan-bright neon fluorescent lights' element to it. However, what makes this video stand out is that it has this somber and loneliness quality to it. It gives you this feeling of being alone in a high-rise building in the middle of night where you want to be with someone only, but not with a bunch of people in a club. Still, the breakdown into the fast techno section at the end was also great. BEP are really clever in that with each album they have a certain cohesive concept to it. Even though this one is similar to their The END album, but if looked closely it has this digital-game like sensibility to it and pushes the electronic boundary further in the mainstream music market. But please, they need to give Taboo and apl.de.ap more screen time because we all know Fergie and Will.i.am are always center stage anyways.
