will.i.am To Re-Release ‘Songs About Girls’
According to Entertainment Weekly, Black Eyed Peas front-man will.i.am is set to re-release his solo effort ‘Songs About Girls’: Songs About Girls, released Sept. 25 to lackluster sales (it charted at No. 38 with 21,000 copies sold and to date has moved 47,108 units), is now entirely M.I.A. from the charts, but Interscope hasn’t given up on it yet. The label plans to re-release the record in early 2008 with three new tracks. “We went with the wrong single and it sold nothing,” a label insider admits. “We would’ve been in better shape if we had pulled the album, because to relaunch it is harder.”
There’s no doubt that ‘I Got It From My Mama’ was abysmal. It’ll be interesting to see if the re-release will garner the project any more attention.

He should stick to producing. Everybody knows him from the Black Eyed Peas, not from his solo career. It will not be any better for him re-releasing.

well if he re-releases he needs to make You’re a Star or Ain’t It Pretty as a single… I think those are the best songs on the whole record anyway…
