Black Eyed Peas Keith Harris talks about Michael Jackson

Posted by admin on September 9th, 2009 and filed under ron harris studios | 8 Comments »

http://www.kayvontv.com/watch/

Could Keith Harris have been talking about working with Michael Jackson on his new album? if so it seems I might have gotten the exclusive on this folks!!! can’t wait to hear the thing, I heard (via wikipedia) that Keith’s partner in crime, will.i.am, is executive producing the album, it is unclear even in my raw footage if Keith is talking about working on Thriller 25 with Michael, or about his work on Michael Jackson’s up-coming untitled studio album.

Kayvon interviews Rap Producer Keith Harris of The Black Eyed Peas in Toronto, Ontario Canada.
Keith Harris talks about working with Michael Jackson.

It was a true honer to be able to talk with a person who has crafted so many beets that I jam to on a daily bases. Yes Folks!!! Mr.Keith Harris, the man who crafted Jully Black’s “Seven Day Fool”, and who was also the producer for a little group you might have heard of called the Black Eyed Peas.
I was most amazed with the list of musicians that Keith has worked with over the years, ranging anywhere from Fergie to Michael Jackson, all and all I must say it was quite interesting to be able to talk to a man as talented and diverse as Keith.

Black Eyed Peas are an American hip hop/pop group from Los Angeles. The group is currently composed of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie. Since their breakout album Elephunk in 2003, they have seen international fame for their pop/dance-oriented style of hip hop music. Black Eyed Peas have sold an estimated twenty-seven million albums and singles worldwide.

The group were signed to Interscope Records and released their debut, Behind the Front, in 1998. The album won the group (and their accompanying live band, the Bucky Jonsons) critical acclaim. The album featured the single “Joints & Jams”, which was included on the Bulworth soundtrack. Their second album, Bridging the Gap, was released in 2000; it featured the single “Request + Line” featuring Macy Gray.

Recently the album “Grass Roots” was released onto the internet.

Their breakout album, Elephunk, was released in 2003. It was the group’s first album to feature the vocals of Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson who was brought to the group by Dante Santiago and she became the replacement for background singer Kim Hill, who left the band in 2000.

From Elephunk came “Where is the Love?”, a single featuring Justin Timberlake which became Black Eyed Peas’ first major hit, peaking at #8 on the U.S. Hot 100, but topping the charts practically everywhere else, including six weeks at #1 in the UK where it became the biggest-selling single of 2003. .
“Shut up”

Black Eyed Peas’ song “Let’s Get Retarded” was restyled as “Let’s Get It Started” for an NBA Finals worldwide commercial. The song was quite successful on the charts worldwide, peaking at #21 on the U.S. Hot 100, #11 in the UK, and at #2 in Australia.

Michael Jackson is set to release a new studio album in 2008, featuring collaborations with Kanye West and will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.

Jackson revealed the details to Ebony magazine, and went on to explain that he still plans to continue making music and will not retire anytime soon.

In production since March of 2006 with Jackson having written songs since 2003. The new album has been recorded in Westmeath, Ireland and Las Vegas by Jackson and executive producers will.i.am [1] of The Black Eyed Peas, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins[2], Teddy Riley[3], Ron “Neff-U” Feemster[3], and many others.

will.i.am has described the upcoming album as an Off the Wall for today’s generation.[4] Some of the work in progress includes up-tempo, dance-floor ready tunes and ‘great melodies’.[3] Insiders on the project are describing the tracks as ‘perfect pop songs’.[5]

It was expected to be released in late 2007, however on the 17th of September 2007 will.i.am confirmed in an interview with Polish website interia.pl that it will be in 2008, and that it’s not Jackson’s ‘comeback album’, because Michael never was finished and his music is played all around the world in every club.[6]

On the 22nd of September 2007, Jackson checked in to the Clinton Recording Studio in New York City to work on more tracks with will.i.am.[7]
