Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Kelis has inked a deal with Interscope Records, announcing that she is releasing her next album via will.i.am Music Group.

“I love that I am now a new part of the Interscope family. 2010 is around the corner and I can’t wait to put out new music and spend time with real music fans on tour again,” says Kelis.

Commenting on his newest signing, will.i.am says, “Kelis represents the kind of edge that pushes all of us not just musically but stylistically as well. She has always opened new doors for her audience and we’re ready to walk through this next one with her.”

Interscope Geffen A&M Records Chairman, Jimmy Iovine, adds, “Kelis is a true artist and we’re so excited to start this new chapter in her musical life.”

Kelis’ new album will include production from will.i.am and David Guetta, who produced the Black Eyed Peas’ Grammy-nominated hit, “I Got A Feeling.” Other producers on Kelis’ upcoming project are Free School, Boyz Noize, Burnz and DJ Ammo.

Kelis’ new record “Acapella” (produced by Guetta), can be heard here.

Multi-platinum and three-time Grammy Award-winning group The Black Eyed Peas have moved up the digital release of the group’s first single “Boom Boom Pow,” off their fifth studio album, The E.N.D., to Monday, March 30th, the date the single becomes available to all digital retail accounts.

The single impacted CHR/Top 40 Radio two weeks ago, and is currently #17 at the format. The record is the group’s eleventh CHR/Top 40 hit, tying them with the Backstreet Boys for most chart hits in the aforementioned format by a group this decade.

An accompanying video for the new single “Boom Boom Pow,” directed by production company Motion Theory (producers of Weezer’s Grammy Award-winning video “Pork and Beans”), will be released in early April.

The song was produced by will.i.am, and written by The Black Eyed Peas (will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie). As previously reported, The E.N.D. comes out June 9th, 2009.

In addition, The Black Eyed Peas will perform tomorrow night (Friday, March 27th) at the Ultra Music Festival, which is part of the Winter Music Conference.

After a four-year hiatus, Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum selling group, The Black Eyed Peas, are back with another studio album entitled “The E.N.D,” scheduled for a June 9th release date.

The first single off the album is “Boom Boom Pow,” which Interscope Records is currently servicing to radio and clubs. “We wanted to make a record that would make people dance,” reveals will.i.am.

“The E.N.D.” comes four-years after the 2005 release of the multi-platinum selling album “Monkey Business,” which included the hits “Don’t Phunk with My Heart” and “My Humps.”

In conjunction with the release of “The E.N.D.,” The Black Eyed Peas plan to kick off a world tour. Dates will be announced in the weeks and months ahead.

Although it has been four years since The Black Eyed Peas recorded their last studio album together, the period did keep some of the group members busy.

Fergie released her hugely successful solo album “The Dutchess,” selling six million records worldwide, while TBEP principal member will.i.am released his solo debut “Songs About Girls” in 2007.

Also in 2008, will.i.am contributed his influence to Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign by penning the song, “Yes We Can,” in addition to the popular post-election songs “It’s A New Day” and “America’s Song.”
