Earlier this year, it was already reported that Fergie was working on new material. While she was spotted in Europe, it was rumoured she was shooting new music videos in Paris and London, and doing photoshoots for her new album. Her first since her debut, “The Dutchess”, in 2006.
Of course, before, she was the chick magnet for the Black Eyed Peas. The guys once explained, in an interview, that they never attracted that many girls to their shows as Fergie did. So, apparently, it was a good idea to have a girl join the group and the ever trendy Fergie definitely caught everyone’s attention.
Since her debut solo album, she has released various songs, but not a full album. Originally, the new material was expected to be released in March, but it took a little bit longer. In May, Fergie dropped a real first hint of the new music, when she released an audio of her new single “Hungry”.
Now, a teaser for her the official video has also been released. Fergie is not only returning to her hip hop roots, choosing to rap more than sing on the track, but she’s also showing a bit of a dark side in the video. The video is directed by Bruno Ilogti and shows a much more edgier Fergie than we’ve seen before.
The full video teaser had actually already leaked to YouTube at the end of last month, when it was used to start her performance at a Rock in Rio Lisbon festival. During her performance, she premiered “Hungry” as well as two other songs, most of them are mainly rap tracks.
So, is she releasing a hip hop album? No, you can definitely not assume that. Rumor has it, she’s worked with the likes of Charlie Puth, Jean Baptiste Kouame, Mike WiLL Made-It, DJ Mustard and Rock City, just to name a few. It is bound to be an interesting mix between hip hop, R&B and dance. Altogether, Fergie’s been working on this album for two years. It probably will be worth the wait.
