More about this title
About the Artist: The Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas emerged in the early 2000s as a genre-bending outfit that fused hip hop, pop, and electronic music into infectious, radio-friendly anthems. Led by will.i.am, the group became known for infectious hooks, layered production, and an ability to craft songs that worked equally well in clubs and on mainstream radio. Their collaborative approach and willingness to experiment with different sonic textures made them influential in shaping contemporary pop music.
For music educators, The Black Eyed Peas represent an accessible entry point into contemporary music that students already know and care about. Their catalog demonstrates how modern production techniques and song structures can coexist with strong melodic content and ensemble arrangement.
Why we love this
Mark Brymer's arrangement captures the infectious energy and groove of the original while giving your ensemble a contemporary piece that resonates with student musicians. The combo voicing keeps your forces flexible, and the pop sensibility makes this a natural choice for spring concerts, pops nights, or any time you need music that genuinely excites your singers.
What to expect
Upbeat and celebratory, with the kind of forward momentum that makes audiences move in their seats. The arrangement maintains the original's infectious groove and feel-good energy while creating space for clear vocal lines and moments of harmonic interest.
Who it's for
Directors looking for contemporary pop repertoire that works for smaller ensemble settings and flexible voicing combinations. Perfect for groups wanting to program music their students are passionate about without requiring a full four part choir.
How to get the most out of it
- Nail the rhythmic precision early in rehearsals. The groove depends on locked ensemble entrances and tight rhythmic coordination, especially in the repeated phrases that drive the song.
- Let the recorded accompaniment do the heavy lifting on texture and layering. Your singers should focus on delivering clean lines and matching the pocket of the original rather than competing with the production.
- Push for dynamic contrast between the verse and chorus sections. The song's impact relies on building momentum, so resist the urge to sing everything at the same volume level.
- Encourage natural phrasing and conversational delivery. This isn't classical repertoire, so your singers should approach their lines with ease and personality rather than formal diction.
How to use it
Close a spring concert on a high note with this one, or drop it into a pops program where you want something current and engaging. It also works as a finale for a music theater night or as a surprise closer for a winter concert program seeking an unexpected jolt of contemporary fun.
Skills your students will build
- Maintaining groove and pocket against a steady backbeat
- Balancing part independence in layered, stacked vocal arrangements
- Stylistically appropriate phrasing and delivery in pop idiom
- Rhythmic precision in syncopated, repeated phrase patterns
