Wonderful – Last to take the stage Sonic Park prestigious group of 2023, Black Eyed Peas, winner of six Grammy Awards. Following singer Fergie’s exit in 2017, the trio remaining, consisting of Will.I.M, APL.D.A.P and Taboo, returned to Italy after performing the anthem at the Sanremo festival this year. This was their first date in Italy, after which the group would continue touring in Ferrara, Lecce and finally Olbia. There is a cosmic charge of energy, dance and hip-hop on stage that this band has been able to shape with the sound of breakthroughs and millions of records sold worldwide. Not that they need big introduction, in fact with songs like “Let’s Get It Started”, “I Gotta Feeling”, “Pump It”, “Where Is The Love” and “Don’t You Worry”, Last Night They got it. All the audience after having indelibly inscribed the history of contemporary music on a global scale. Returning to the scene in 2018, following the historic Fergie disbandment, she released the album “Masters of the Sun Volume 1”, followed by the album “Translation” in 2020 and the album “Elevation” last year. Collaborations with various exponents of the Latin pop scene have brought her back to the center of the international music scene, with songs such as “Ritmo” and “Mamasita”. Collaborations such as Shakira and David Guetta for “Don’t You Worry” and Anita and El Alfa for “Simply the Best” led to real hype in 2022. As soon as the three of us took to the stage in our unmistakable urban looks, it was immediately clear that this was going to be one heck of a party, which came to a head on the third song when he was joined by J.J. Ray Soul also joined, who is the new voice for the group and who has already done a little live with them. The stage presence and voice effects are very impressive, amid the great stage feel, gait and postures that have made these characters famous.
Self will.i.m
We end on the note of “I Gotta Feeling” (even if they made us wait a while), a global success with millions of albums sold and hundreds of millions of streams. In an evening lit by thousands of lights, with the Italian flag flying, everyone does a little dancing, a perfect party finale for this edition. Sonic Park 2023 kicks off the scoreboard of full prestige, just remember Placebo and then Sting’s brace in the past, down the stage tonight with “I’ve got a feeling / That tonight’s going to be a good night / That tonight’s End by dancing to the notes of “Hai”. Gonna be a good night/Tonight’s going to be a good, good night”.
