Straight off the back of their new album 'Translation', the Black Eyed Peas have revealed on their social media that they are already working on new music.

Sharing on both their Instagram and Twitter accounts on Sunday, October 4, the hip-hop group teased new music they "got cookin'" alongside a dramatic photo with members will.i.am, Taboo, and apl.de.ap, posing together. "Don't mind us, just basking in the steam from all the awesome stuff we got cookin'..." the band wrote in their caption for the pic with a sunglasses-wearing smiley and dynamite emoticon. You can view their post below.

Fans on Twitter are pumped for the new Black Eyed Peas material. "Yessssss I’m so ready for new Black Eyed Peas!!!!" said a fan while another wrote, "can't wait to see what you have in store for us."

Pointing out that the band's post mentioned music that is more than one project, one fan said, "New stuff and lots things love that." Another fan wrote, "Best group of the 21st century!!" 

Amid the many excited comments, several fans are also hoping for the Black Eyed Peas and Shakira collaborative single 'Girl Like Me' to get an official music video. "Girl Like Me MV???" asked a fan and another wrote, "Girl like meeeee???????? Please." An excited fan tweeted, "We are ready for Girl Like Meeeeeeeeeeee @shakira."

'Girl Like Me' featured on their latest album, 'Translation', which released in June and has since been a fan-favorite. Shortly after the album's release, Taboo did reveal that a 'Girl Like Me' video is on the way. "I’m excited about the Shakira song," he said in a video interview. "We haven’t filmed that yet, I know it’s coming up soon. But just you know the ideas and the creativity that’s going into the first brainstorming sounds like it’s going to be f**king epic."

One fan also added that a follow-up to their studio LP 'Masters of the Sun Vol. 1' is overdue, saying, "Yoooo it's time for MASTERS OF THE SUN Vol. 2."

The first volume arrived in 2018 and is a political album loosely inspired by the graphic novel of the same name and the contemporary social climate of America. The album saw the Black Eyed Peas departing from their electronic dance and pop-influenced albums 'The E.N.D.' and 'The Beginning' and returning to their earlier hip-hop and boom-bap style.

Black Eyed Peas' new teaser follows a recent post by apl.de.ap who said he was working on music inspired by fans: "You’re the source behind this next song." So, it looks like Black Eyed Peas are fully engaged in their creativity and are actively letting fans know they have big things in store. We can't wait!
