It’s been a little over two years since the Black Eyed Peas caused a sensation with their last album “Translation”. Now Will.i.am (47), Apl.de.ap (47) and Taboo (47) are back with their new, meanwhile ninth album “Elevation”, which will be released on Friday, November 11th. The successful pre-single “Don’t You Worry”, created in collaboration with Shakira (45) and David Guetta (55), has already been streamed hundreds of millions of times, according to a press release.

“We always fall up and never down. The Black Eyed Peas are known for flying high,” explains founding member Will.i.am, referring to the album’s title, Elevation, in the statement. The band would certainly like to see such a high with the new record in the international charts.

For their new album, the Black Eyed Peas have once again brought many well-known guests on board. With the Brazilian singer Anitta (29) and rapper El Alfa (31) they recorded the song “Simply the Best”. “Elevation” also features additional features with Daddy Yankee (45), Nicky Jam (41), Bella Poarch (25), Nicole Scherzinger (44) and Ozuna (30).
