What Was Will.I.Am thinking? Will.I.Am - Songs About Girls Review

Now when i first heard "I got it from my mama", the first single from "Songs about Girls", i almost turned in my music lovers card and dug a hole to throw myself in it...i thought it was such a disgusting display of talent from a man that i KNOW was capable of so much MORE! (HE PRODUCED LETS ROCK BY CHRISETTE MICHELE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!)...the direction i thought will would go in for his solo project would be that one different from the BEP(after fergie, ofcourse) sound that gets ANNOYING after awhile....but when i heard His first single i seen that wasnt the case, much to my disappointment....

BUT much to my surprise, i enjoy...no...i like...NO...i LOVE..a good majority of the songs on "Songs about Girls"...because he takes all the GOOD from the new found BEP sound..the infectious beats, the simple hooks and leaves all the SILLYNESS and CORNYNESS that tends to go along with current Black Eyed Peas Tracks...although still not the direction i was hoping he would go in (majority of the songs are light hearted, ass shaking, my humps type stuff eithout yanno..being stupid) I must admit iam still feeling this album, taking it for what it is and enjoying it...is he trying to save the world?, inspire someone to end world hunger?, or even talk about anything really relevant in any of his songs? no not really..but dammit if they arent infectious, fun and happy.... and they dont even leave u with a guilty taste in your mouth!!!! (u kno that..."should i tell people i like this album?" feeling)....Songs like "Over", "Heartbreaker" and "Impatient" makes it virtually impossible for you to keep still and your speakers on a reasonable sound level, while "Fantastic" gives you a feel good vibe that makes you want to be...yanno...sociable...and i think thats what music is suppose to do, make you get a feeling, an emotion, a vibe that u just cant shake and u just carry through out the day. Thats one of the main points "Songs about Girls" makes...

I think before i even heard this album i wanted to like it, because i LOVE what will.i.am does and have done in the past, when hes not catering to the Laguna Beach crowd (Dont Funk With My Heart anyone?) but after hearing that first single all hopes were shattered, so i went into this album the biggest sceptic and it was a pleasant surprise and im sure it will be for you...if you want a easy breezy album that gives your speakers a work out and induces a head nod and a foot tap then this album is for you...i think for those who purchased Keyshia or Jill (ONE OF THE HOTTEST THIS YEAR) than this will be a good album for you when your not in a "Crown Royal on Ice" kind of mood...

I Give "Songs about Girls" 3 1/2 Gold records out of 5....just because im sure hes only gonna sell that much, i mean the promotion for this album has SUCKED!!!
