Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough
Artist: Black Eyed Peas
Producer: will.i.am, DJ Ammo, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins
Album: The Beginning
Label: A&M/ Will.I.Am Music Group
At this point the Black Eyed Peas aren’t a music group, they’re a finely tuned hit-making and marketing machine. There’s a reason they’ve been invited to perform at halftime of this year’s Super Bowl. It’s almost shocking then that new single Just Can’t Get Enough strays so far from their usual pop/dance formula, using heavy metal guitars and a full orchestra to carry a powerful message about the world’s suffering. I’m sorry, that’s a complete lie. Of course Just Can’t Get Enough is another track built on the BEP hip-pop blueprint. will.i.am, DJ Ammo and Rodney “Darkchild” Jenkins combine to create a beat that at first softly and sweetly croons, then transitions into an electro-dance cut on the close. Throw in a quasi-duet in the form of vocals from Fergie and half-rapped, half-sung verses from will (I think Taboo and/or apl.de.ap might also rap, but I can’t really tell), and history says that even for all its predictability, Just Can’t Get Enough will propel the quartet’s new album, The Beginning, into the stratosphere they’ve become so accustomed to living in.

"Just Can't Get Enough" reminds us of how lucky we've all been to go months and months without having to hear Auto-Tune. I take it this song was recorded during the "hey day" of the popular (trending downward) voice effect. The melody and lyrics are pretty simple and, for no other reason, that should equal chart success.

Compared to "The Time" this is greatness.

the only listenable song on BEP's super-annoying new album. autotune annoys me anyway despite this being a decent song.

Should hit their target audience. The terrible part is ive always considered Fergie to be a capable singer, yet they refuse to go without auto-tune in any song.

Although this is one of my least listened to/least favorites off the album, it's actually a good thing it's a single because it will give it more attention that I had previously given it. Maybe I'll like it with time.

Take Kanye West - Heartless. Now dumb it down to the point where you can dance to it. Boom. That being said...this is the only BEP song I would ever listen to without being forced to

Black Eyed Peas are essentially Fergie and will.i.am now. I'm kinda surprised apl.de.ap and Taboo haven't just left yet...
I think it's Taboo on verse two, and apl on the switchup in verse three. The new album is the definition of fail. Nothing hip-hop fans would crave, and if the album bumped in the European techno underground clubs, and the big ones like Ibiza, they would get utterly ridiculed. |

I was expecting another Dirty Bit but this was surprisingly good. Not back to their best but an improvement.

Auto-tune will never go away. its been around before t-pain and will last after him. any way why do the BEP always force me to blend more dance/techno music to the end of their damn songs?

Through out the first part of the song I was thinking "Awwe finally a BEP track that is not straight POP" but then, "Switch up"...LOL.
I do know...its another pop success for these guys. I have to admit that I do like it more than theire recent jams. |

What is there to really say? It's enjoyable, I'm sure some major corporation will buy it for their ads, etc. etc. BEP has their formula down, it obviously works, and they're sticking to it.

Looking at it for what it is what it is which is a pop song, and not anything else. This is a great song from BEP. Especially compared to some of their recent stuff off the new album. This is an enjoyable song that should see some pretty good success. Nice change of tempo for them too.

I sincerely like this beat, but we all know this crew can't rap so I was expecting big things on the chorus. However, it fell short of my expectations.

This song is freakin sweet! From the beginning all the way to the "switch up".
I first heard this song not knowing it was BEP so I didn't judge the song based on what I expect from them (it was on the radio, it's forced into my ear from 8-5 Monday to Saturday at work, most definately not by choice). BEP haven't sold out to my ears, they've evolved and old fans just hate it. By the way, the "switch up" part is not pop, it's House. House music is just "pop"-ular at the moment in my opinion. |
