Global multi-platinum Grammy Award winners The Black Eyed Peas return with the release of their eagerly anticipated fourth album, Monkey Business, the follow up to The Peas' 2003 breakthrough release Elephunk.

Monkey Business is a madcap musical journey, mixing fat basslines with Latin rhythms, witty rhymes and hip hop beats. It includes collaborations with the Godfather of Soul James Brown ('They Don't Want Music'), Justin Timberlake ('My Style'), Jack Johnson ('Gone Going Gone') and Sting ('Union') and was recorded in London, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Miami.

The Black Eyed Peas' fourth outing, MONKEY BUSINESS, picks up right where their platinum-selling breakout album, ELEPHUNK, left off, with the feel of a non-stop party run by an ultra-savvy DJ. "Pump It" opens the disc on a straight sample of Dick Dale's surf classic "Misirlou," as the three MCs of BEP float in and out--sometimes rapid-fire, sometimes measured--with Fergie stepping in on cue to alternately sing softly or with deep, soulful emotion.
The Peas' origins are tied to the DJ-driven world of breakdancing, and that flavor saturates MONKEY BUSINESS, as beats drop in and out, tracks blend into other tracks, and a lighthearted spirit of sophisticated ecstasy prevails. The aforementioned "Pump It" slides flawlessly into the lively single "Don't Phunk with My Heart," and the stage for the album is set. Icons James Brown and Sting drop by, on the uncompromisingly funky "They Don't Want Music" and the reggae-soaked "Union," respectively, but they're just guests on board for the ride (along with Justin Timberlake, John Legend, and others), part of the musical mural. The Black Eyed Peas turned from underground favorites to hit-making performers on ELEPHUNK; this follow-up continues that upward progression.

Professional Reviews
Uncut (p.94)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "Will-I-Am's production is gliding yet hard, blasting off with 'Pulp Fiction' Dick Dale guitar, and giving contemporary bounce to '80s synth beats."
