According to a label spokeswoman, the incident is not expected to delay the release of Monkey Business, which is due November 16th.
The Peas discussed the album with Rolling Stone after a rousing performance before a celebrity-heavy crowd that included Lenny Kravitz, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis and Lindsey Lohan at a T-Mobile X-Games party last week in Los Angeles. "We recorded a lot of the new album while we were on tour," said the hip-hop crew's Fergie, "so a lot of it's got a big live feel."
"It's real aggressive," added Will.I.Am, "with edgier sounds, different polyrhythms and syncopations." He also characterizes the album -- whose first single will most likely be "Don't Mess With My Heart" -- as "darker," both in sound and subject matter, than last year's Grammy-nominated Elephunk. "The majority of the songs are about female relationships, turmoil, improvement, both personally and socially."
The Peas, who have been touring steadily for the past year, look forward to bringing the new album to the stage. "We go on the road again in September," said Will.I.Am, "and it will be all Monkey Business."
