Fergie Releases Official Music Videos for New Singles “Enchanté” & “Like It Ain’t Nuttin'”

Posted on September 23, 2017 by Tom Castaneda

Fergie is giving her fans a twofer…

The 42-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has released not one, but two new videos.

Fergie, who released her new solo album, Double Dutchess: Seeing Double The Visual Experience on Friday, 11 years after her debut solo album, The Dutchess, has put out the official clips for “Enchanté” and “Like It Ain’t Nuttin’.”

In the video for “Like It Ain’t Nuttin’,” (produced by her BEP mate will.i.am) Fergie oscillates between a club, what appears to be a secret parking garage, an abandoned park at night, the studio, an escalator and the back of a car. All the while, she’s either rocking her natural blonde hair or a short black wig while rapping:

What ya gonna do when I step in the room? Bet y’all ballers gonna rock to the tune Bet y’all ballers gonna rock to the tune Get down to the beat and rock to the tune What ya gonna do when I step in the place? Bet you everybody gonna rock to the bass Bet you everybody gonna rock to the bass I, I get money all day, baby Like it ain’t nothin’, nothin’, nothin’, nothin’, nothin’

The video for “Enchanté” (Carine) features adorable babbling at the top from Fergie’s son Axl Jack and stars model Kendall Jenner, who starts out asleep in bed until the beat drops and she is startled awake. Throughout the video, we frenetically follow Jenner in various outfits and activities as she makes her way through a deconstructed house while lounging in a tub, playing various brass instruments and generally being fabulous. Over a slinky beat and marimbas Fergie casually sings, “Enchanted, delighted to meet you/ Excited, the people, the music/ I want you, consume it/ It’s sinful, this greeting/ A ritual, a meeting, the first time impressions/ The truest expressions” before transitioning into French.

Fergie is feelin’ the love…

The 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has returned to the Top 40 as a lead singer for the first time in four years.

Fergie’s “L.A.LOVE (la la)” makes its way into the top 40 after rising 41-36 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

She previously notched five top 10s, including three No. 1s, from her solo debut The Dutchess, in 2006-07.

In between, she added two top 40 hits in featured roles: on Nelly‘s “Party People” (No. 40, 2008) and David Guetta and Chris Willis‘ “Gettin’ Over You” (also featuring LMFAO) (No. 31, 2010).

Fergie’s New Solo Album to Feature Duet with Nicki Minaj

Posted on November 16, 2014 by Tom Castaneda

It appears Fergie is ready to duet with a rap superstar…

The 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has confirmed that a duet with Nicki Minaj is on its way.

Fergie, who’ll host and perform at the Billboard Hollywood Party, confirmed the collaboration with the “Anaconda” rapper during a recent interview with “Ebro in the Morning” on Hot 97.

“This is the first time I’ve even announced anything,” said Fergie of her first solo album since 2006’s The Dutchess. When asked if fans would get to hear the duet ahead of the album, she teased, “Possibly.”

Fergie also weighed in on the rivalry among female rappers (which is currently brewing between Nicki and Iggy Azalea).

“Healthy competition, there’s nothing wrong with that,” said Fergie. “That’s normal. That’s just like flirting, it’s a normal human thing. It’s healthy.”

The Black Eyed Peas singer said she could relate to the criticism Azalea was subjected to as a white woman in hip-hop.

“It actually fueled me,” she recalled her own experience. “I was like ‘You know what? These fools are just sitting there saying this. They have no idea who I am. I have worked for this my entire life. I am ambitious. I am an overachiever. I’m gonna do this and I see it so clearly.’ And it’s like, ‘You know what? I probably listen to more hip-hop than any of these fools.'”

It’s official… Fergie’s back with new music.

Following the release of her highly anticipated new single’s artwork, the 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has released “L.A.Love (La La).”

Produced by DJ Mustard, Fergie’s new track finds the singer spanning the globe, singing “To London, to Brazil, to Quebec/Like the whole damn world took effect… to Ferg.”

However, Fergie then takes the reins on the chorus, in which she rattles off all of the cities “saying’ la la la la la.”

Earlier this month, sources confirmed to Billboard that Fergie was finally finishing her sophomore album, with a “good bet” that it would be released in 2015. Mike WiLL Made-It is involved in Fergie’s comeback project, Billboard also learned.

The Dutchess, Fergie’s solo debut album, spawned five Top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart: “London Bridge,” “Fergalicious,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “Glamorous” and “Clumsy.” Since its September 2006 release, the singer released two albums and traveled the world with the Black Eyed Peas, and appeared on the Great Gatsby soundtrack with “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)” last year.

Fergie is spreading more (L.A.) love…

The part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member has released the official artwork for her brand new single “L.A. Love (La La),” which will be released on September 29.

The artwork features a woman’s hands with long, sharp nails painted in psychedelic colors flashing the “L.A.” hand sign. The hands are blinged out with rings in front of a heart made of marijuana leaves with pretty crazy green eyes.

The phrase “Smile Now, Cry Later,” is also tattooed to one of the hands, which could be a line from the song or the title of her forthcoming album.

Fergie posted the image on Instagram on Monday with the caption “The #LALOVE Movement begins… 9/29.”

Over the weekend, a portion of Fergie’s new single was played at the DSQUARED2 fashion show at Milan Fashion Week.

The yet-to-be-titled LP is expected to come out next year, her first full-length since 2006’s smash hit The Dutchess.

It looks like Fergie’s ready to go solo again…

The 39-year-old part-Mexican American singer and Black Eyed Peas member hasn’t released a solo album in a little more than eight years, but she may finally be returning to the scene with a sequel to her hit album The Dutchess.

Fergie is reportedly working on new music for a sophomore album, as she alluded to during a stop by Chelsea Lately last month, according to Billboard. According to a source, there’s a “good bet” that the album will finally be released in 2015, with a new single possibly coming out before the end of this year.

Billboard has also learned that Mike WiLL Made-It is involved with Fergie’s next full-length studio effort. The hip-hop maestro executive-produced Miley Cyrus’ Bangerz album, and has helmed songs by Rihanna, Ciara and 2 Chainz, among many others.

The Dutchess, released in September 2006, Spawned six hits for Ferguson. It all began with “London Bridge“, then “Fergalicious“, “Glamorous“, “Big Girls Don’t Cry“, “Clumsy” and “Finally.” In December 2007, Blender selected her as the magazine’s woman of the year following her success as a solo artist.

Since The Dutchess’ release, Fergie married actor Josh Duhamel, re-joined the Black Eyed Peas for the group’s blockbuster 2009 album The E.N.D. and gave birth to her first son in 2013. Fergie most recently popped up on “A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got),” from last year’s Great Gatsby soundtrack.
