Test Drive the new album from Fergie
The Dutchess...

Fergalicious feat. Will.I.Am.

powered by ODEO
This one is by far my favorit song off the album the beat is infectious and the hook is just catchy!

All That I Got (The Make Up Song)

powered by ODEO
A sweet pop ballad, and the first song on the album to channel her inner pop princess and brins you back to the days of Wild Orchid.

London Bridge

powered by ODEO
The first single that shot to number 1! It's still hot and I can't help but dance when it's on...

Pedestal

powered by ODEO
This is an unlikely collaboration but it's definitely a hot one with great word play by Luda..."So if you ain't got no money, take your broke ass home!"

Here I Come

powered by ODEO
Fergie samples the Temptations' "Get Ready" for this dance track. It's been tapped as the new theme song for the CW Networks new commericals.

Velvet

powered by ODEO
Another slow ballad and ventures from the BEP sound, giving her a chance to stretch her vocals.

Big Girls Don't Cry

powered by ODEO
When I first heard it I immediately thought of Pink, it's real pop-rock song, I like it and it is a further separation from the BEP sound.

Mary Jane Shoes feat. Rita Marley

powered by ODEO
This track feature the late Bob Marley's wife Rita and takes us to the islands, cool caribbean jam with a surprise rock ending.

Losing My Ground

powered by ODEO
Another one of my favorites, its a ballad and she really gets to showcase her vocals on it. I love the strings and piano.

Get Ya Hands Up feat. Black Eyed Peas (Bonus Track)

She reunites with all her bandmates to give us what they are famous for and thats a Hip-Pop dance track that makes you move and "Get Your Hands Up!"

Overall I think the album is well-balanced and surprising good all the way through! Teaming up with producer and bandmate Will.I.Am helped her bring out the Fergie behind Black Eyed Peas and is a great debut start for here as a solo artist. The one thing she says about her ablum is that "every song has it's own character!" Which makes it very versatile and you can't get too bored with it...
