Taboo talks about Black Eyed Peas’ new album. It’s been four years since the Black Eyed Peas stepped into a studio together and now they’re back with their new album “The E.N.D.”Taboo recently finished shooting a movie entitled “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” and now the Black Eyed Peas member is ready to get back to music.“The [beats per minute] are a lot faster,” Taboo told MTV News about the album. Will.I.Am was inspired by the electro-club music he heard while filming “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in Australia.”He would always go to those clubs and get influenced by electronic music,” he said to MTV News. “All four of us are back, for the people that are wondering if Fergie is coming back. Of course Will.I.Am is back, Apl.de.Ap and myself, so it’s gonna be much more uplifting. It’s a dance album. It’s for people around the world.”
