The Black Eyed Peas have clearly found a winning formula and are sticking to it. As the release date for their 6th studio album ‘The Beginning’ draws nearer, new material from the LP continues to surface – the most recent being Electro-Thumper ‘Do It Like This’.
Take a listen after the jump…
It’s safe to say the Fergie-led foursome are unapologetically channelling the sound on their last musical outing ‘The E.N.D’. Understandable, given the multi-Platinum success of the album. Yet, increasingly worrying is the “samey-ness” of the Peas’ offerings as of late.
While some, perhaps sillily, long for the socially concious Peas of yesteryear (it’s just not going to happen), I simply sought more variety in their releases (see: ‘Where Is The Love’). For, lyrically and on the production front, ‘Like This’ offers little of substance, and joins an ever-mounting pile of generic Club tracks which the group seem to be championing these days.
By no means bad, yet not at all great.

I like the song but I buying LouD first… Sam and Trent told m e to tell u to go buy LOUD now
Please…this song will be a smash on the radio based on the beat alone.
I lurv it!
this sounds like Rusko did it.
This is why Will.i.am doesnt want MJ’s album released cuz his material kinda sucks! His new s*** sounds like a electronic mess for the 12yr old Helen Keller’s out there. Besides, the dude has been accused in several lawsuits of swagger jacking unauthorized samples for hs biggest hits. What a d*****. Then he features lame no talent lip syncer Cheryl Cole. The E.N.D.
i love it
I JUST LOVE THIS GROUP… THEY ARE SO SWAGGERIFIC YOU DONT NEED TO ASK WHY!!! LOL
This song is fire…You got to have balance, people tire quickly of being lectured. Sometimes people just want to be entertained.
SPREAD DA WORD @ SPREADDAWORD.COM
Sound like a club joint to me!!!!im ready to party !!!
That graphic looks like something Robyn would do.
I feel like this album is going to be full of rejected songs from The E.N.D. They should have quit while they were ahead, taken some time to come with fresh music because it seems like they rushed this thinking they would have the same success as The E.N.D.
^^^ So right. It is Rushed. Coming out thus month with Zero promotion, and no video shot yet. Kinda risky, but their blending their old roots with the future. For people who keep saying, I miss their old stuff “My Humps, Dont Phunk With My Heart, , etc”. The reason your saying that is because they are doing a hip hop sound as much anymore, and they want Particularly “People of color ” to open up their minds to accept Electro. every once in a while u get a song similar to their old stuff, Like “One Tribe” from The END.
I totally agree, with what ive heard so far of “The Beginning” seems to be full of rejected songs from The E.N.D… Which is not a good thing.
I was really dissapointed with ‘The Time’ and this new offering is even worse. I’m not a hater or anything but surely B.E.P should be putting out better material than this.
New single: R. Kelly – Love Letter
This is really nothing special. I’m no hater, but these guys annoy me! I wish Fergie would just step out on her own again.
wow, this is not good…
Will-I-Am is so played out. Fergie should have been smart, and went SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I completly agree with STEVE. “‘The Beginning’ seems to be full of rejected songs from ‘The E.N.D'” describes these new songs.
Dear Lord, what is this SHITE?
Sounds TERRIBLE! I used to love M***** BUSINESS and ELEPHUNK but all this electro bullsh*t is just awful!
Will.I.Am is trying too hard and. He makes awful music and he looks like an asshole!
i love it on some point they sound like nicki but i love it i like how the song change in the middle
UGH! Go away, PLEASE!
THIS SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER VERSION OF “IMMA BE” …IT HAS THAT IMMA BE FLOW TO IT
Sounds Nickish, ashlkhs.
Rubbish.
@ Adam agreed, it does sound like an alternate version of imma be….they’ve been singing s*** for the longest while…lol…but i guess club music aint supposed to be sensible or long lasting
Their last CD was fresh but this is just annoying!
Although it sounds like “fast food music” at its best, I like it better than E.N.D. material. It sounds like Elephunk/M***** Business gone electro.
this song is as beautiful as the time the black eyed peas are the best, everything they do turns to gold so hopefully come many awards for the Beginning I love the song is great
I f****** hate the BEP now. Such s***.
