The Peas are pumped to unleash the follow-up to their 2008 hit album The E.N.D. The new record is appropriately titled The Beginning and it drops November 30.  Says frontman will.i.am: The Beginning is our departure to the new…always pushing new sounds and technology…I can’t wait till you experience all that we have been cooking up…”

Can’t wait that long for new BEP music, huh?  Well here’s a treat!  Take a listen to their brand new single called “The Time (The Dirty Bit)”.  The song covers the Dirty Dancing hit “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” originally recorded by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes in 1987.  And you know its got that signature BEP electro hip-hop headbanger twist to it.  Will it resonate with fans, radio listeners, and party-goers as loud as “Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling”?  I don’t think it’s as catchy as those two, but nothing will keep this new single from quickly becoming a chart-topper.  A music video has already been made to accompany the single and it should drop sometime soon.
