In all honesty, I’ve called Will.I.Am a sell-out. It’s hard to believe the b-boy dropping verses with the Black Eyed Peas back in the day is the same guy dancing behind Fergie, but for people have heard his album have to reconsider. His solo album that was released September 2007 and still remains as one of my favorite creations. Song About Girls is musically adventurous in a way I couldn’t have imagined; a simmering stew of 70’s disco, 80’s new wave and contemporary pop that’s sometimes brilliant.
Will.I.Am isn’t the only producer making booty songs, but at least he’s got his own style. I Got It From My Mama was the lead single off Songs About Girls and while we could debate whether the “hot mother equals hot daughter” formula is true, what can’t be argued is the track’s contagious appeal. He gets the ladies feeling so good about themselves they want to show off, a far cry from the testosterone drenched bangers that treat women like cattle. Speaking of which, The Donque Song (come on will, it’s “Donkey”) is Will.I.Am's ode to “mega-ass.” The beat is a surprisingly effective combination of speaker shaking bass and 70’s disco melodies, it’s like someone brought a roller skating rink to the club. Only Snoop could rap over a song like this and the Doggfather speeds up his flow for a memorably trippy verse. These songs aren’t as catchy as My Humps, but they’re not as borderline Teeny Bopper, either. Sorry Fergie, I just call em like I see em.
One listen to Songs About Girls confirms that Will.I.Am is an expert producer. One More Chance drops distinctly island percussion over softly climbing synths and reverb-heavy guitars, it’s the kind of mad genius mixture that somehow creates a living, breathing song. Will.I.Am. continues his spacey vibe on Ain’t It Pretty, a valium-slow joint that takes the old love at first sight cliché and gives it some soul. He’s not necessarily breaking new ground on Ain’t It Pretty, but he’s certainly pushing the boundaries of hip-hop with extended instrumental jams and infusions of electronica. He hits his creative peak on She’s A Star, a haunting song that relies on Will.I.Am’s meager but distinctive vocals. Production quality, concept, lyrics, She’s A Star is the complete package. These tracks show Will.I.Am has the potential to go down as a brave musical experimenter. Songs About Girls has plenty of both.
Not many people know that the world wide hit from Estelle ft. Kanye West "American Boy" is actually a track from Will.I.Am's Song About Girl's. Will.I.Am has continued to stay at the top of the charts since his solo release in 2007 but I am very anxious to see if he is going to put out another solo projector if the future.
