Black Eyed Peas: 'Rock That Body'

When did the Black Eyed Peas become the most bankable pop act in the world? Will.i.am, Apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie could record the sound of a collective trump, put it on a loop with some crashing beats behind it and still probably find themselves hogging the No.1 spot for a couple of months. What's more, sales of last year's The E.N.D. LP now total a whopping seven million worldwide.

'Rock That Body' is the fourth single from the record and there's no reason that it shouldn't follow the other three in heading to the summit. With hot-right-now producer David Guetta on knob-twiddling duties, it's got plenty of pounding beats, synths that sound like they've been filled with Red Bull and more twisted vocal effects than an mp3 of Akon cutting loose in a vocoder factory. It's pretty simple stuff and it will no doubt grate something rotten on the 36th listen... but will you care when you're body-popping to it after one too many shandies on a Friday night?
