A hip-hoppish r'n'b.
Catchy rhythms and creativity meet perfectly, here. From "Hands up" to "Third eye" flows a series of original and varied styles that keep on surprising you without ever falling into an over-experimentation whose only point would be to difference itself from the rest, nor the other commercial extreme of only trying what is sure to work.

Commercial hip hop with Americanised elements of dancehall music.
Lord have merc-yyyyyyyyy. Ok, this is a definite Black Eyed Peas wrap over a definitely more commercial package.
If you take it in the strict dance context, it's beautiful! If you want something closer to the artistic research of Elephunk, then forget it. There's their usual sound creativity but you can feel they're more enjoying their success and drawing on it than trying to take all of this further. And why shouldn't they?! As long as it fulfills its purpose... Hell, it got me dancing and singing gibberish all night long ! Pearl P.S. Apart from "Disco club"; that is one real annoying song. Whatever happened there?!
Beware: some dirty lyrics!
