MASTERS OF THE SUN, VOL. 1 by The Black Eyed Peas

Masters of the Sun Vol. 1 is the seventh studio album by American musical group Black Eyed Peas. A political album loosely inspired by the graphic novel of the same name and the contemporary social climate of the United States, it is a departure from The Black Eyed Peas' electronic dance and pop-influenced albums The E.N.D. and The Beginning, marking a return to the group's hip hop and boom bap style of their early career. The album was Black Eyed Peas' first in eight years, and their first as a trio and credited as Black Eyed Peas since Bridging the Gap in 2000; Fergie, who had been a member since 2003, left the group in early 2018 and does not appear on the album. Preceded by numerous singles and music videos, Masters of the Sun Vol. 1 was released on October 26, 2018 through Interscope Records.
