REVIEW: will.i.am – Willpower

Artist: will.i.am
Album: Willpower
Genre: Hip-hop, electropop
Label: Interscope

It’s been six years since will.i.am’s last solo venture was released, so Willpower is exactly the kind of leviathan you’d expect it to be. Fifteen tracks long (eighteen on the deluxe version) and generous with the pomp and circumstance, it’s an album of generally mixed fortunes. will.i.am – or William Adams, to his mum – seems to have jammed in a song or two for every year of his absence from the solo scene. He’s come up with plenty to love – classical samples are plentiful and generally beautiful and …

Ke$ha Releases “Crazy Kids” Single Featuring Will.i.am

Ke$ha has been relatively quiet on the news front in recent weeks. Her songs have stayed in steady rotation at radio, so one could argue further headlines were unnecessary, but it’s still odd that in an age where everyone is connected all the time that someone as generally outrageous as Ke$ha can slip below celebrity radar for any amount of time.

Anyway, today Ke$ha returns to the spotlight with the release of her official “Crazy Kids” remix featuring Will.i.am. The track, which was released as a radio edit early this morning, features new verses and a slightly reworked production. As …

MUSIC VIDEO: Will.I.Am Ft Britney Spears – “Scream & Shout”

Will.I.Am is someone we can almost always rely on for a good time. Even if the single he’s promoting does not hit your eardrum with sugary pop perfection, the accompanying visuals and/or live promotion generally offers something everyone can appreciate. His latest, “Scream & Shout,” pairs the pop mastermind with the ever-popular Britney Spears. You can view the video for the single after the jump.

Club pop is not exactly my genre of choice, but I really do try to understand what makes the most popular songs in that area of music become the monstrous hits they seem to become. …

Black Eyed Peas File Lawsuit Against Former Manager Sean M. Larkin

UTG has learned that Black Eyed Peas have filed a lawsuit against their former manager, Sean M. Larkin, for failing to file taxes on the band’s behalf between 2002 and 2009.

Will.i.am, Taboo and apl.de.ap all accused Larkin of misleading the group when asked to see financial documents proving taxes were completed. This fraud cost the Black Eyed Peas an enormous $3.2 million (£2.1 million)!

“Larkin falsely represented … on numerous occasions that he was taking care of everything and that they had nothing to worry about,” the band members’ lawyers wrote in the lawsuit.

The Black Eyed Peas Detail Hiatus Plans

Maybe it is just us, but when someone goes on hiatus we expect that they will not be making headlines for awhile. Apparently, The Black Eyed Peas disagree.

Recently, The Black Eyed Peas appeared on Ellen to discuss music and life. During the interview, Ellen turned her focus to the group’s recently announced hiatus and the band responded in detail. You can view video of the interview below, but for those lacking that kind of time (or focus), just know that Will.I.Am said “When we take breaks, we work on side projects or get our little personal stuff in order …
