Canciones sobre chicas

Reseña del editor Después de vender cerca de 20 millones de álbumes como el cerebro de Black Eyed Peas, el ganador del Grammy will.i.am está listo para su lanzamiento en solitario - "Songs About Girls". Will ha producido recientemente éxitos para muchos artistas - Fergie, Sergio Mendes, Pussycat Dolls, John Legend, Nas, The Game, Justin Timberlake - por nombrar algunos... "Songs About Girls" es producido y escrito por will.i.am con Snoop Dogg confirmado como el artista destacado. Ha hecho un álbum conceptual con canciones que rodean problemas comunes de relación.. "Realmente me hizo consciente de cuánto es posible musicalmente", dice. Tienda Talent as big as Will.i.am's can't help making a lot of noise, and Songs About Girls is, for sure, a big, noisy record. But in addition to the kind of hugeness, it's sometimes hard to get your head around--see "Impatient," a freaked-up, very busy club joint--there's an outsize effort to connect with listeners on a deeper level here. Will.i.am, whose unstoppable run as a producer may have temporarily rubbed the sheen off his reputation as an artist, pulls it off in his own radiant, loopish, never-boring way. The best of this batch of songs chronicles a failed real-life relationship: "Over," which was co-written with Jeff Lynne and plucks from ELO's way-cool "It's Over," leads the pack with a bust-the-walls-in beat, and it's followed by the excellently unruly related numbers "Heartbreaker," "One More Chance," "Invisible," and "Fantastic." Listen to the hip-hoppy lyrics to these songs--several resonate through the hoots, horns, and hype--and you get the sense Will.i.am's appetite for the meaninglessly spectacular has diminished. But then "The Donque Song" comes along. Bouncing off a lot of electronic beats, booty references, and sly asides by Snoop--Girls' only guest star--"Donque" does its pulse-raising thing in classic out-there Will.i.am form; ditto first single "I Got It from My Mama," which traffics in sound effects and Black Eyed Peas-type call and response. "S.O.S.," a plea sent out on behalf of the environment, ends the disc on a somber note, but don't expect to walk off feeling all serious; Songs About Girls sucks its listeners way too far into the center of a stylish, if gloriously unhinged, universe for that. --Tammy La Gorce
