Everybody else is doing it so why can’t Fergie?
Fergie continues the en-vogue trend of re-issuing a top selling album with new material - and she’s honest about why she’s doing it.
“That’s what everyone’s doing nowadays, I hear,” she told MTV. “The label came to me and said this would be a good idea, and I thought, ‘Well, OK, if this is another way for me to put out these songs that I’ve been wanting people to hear, then great.’ The music business is changing, and this repackage thing is a new way for people to put out songs that they want people to hear, so I’m cool with it.”
The “Deluxe Edition” of “The Dutchess” will drop in record stores on May 27th, and include a hot little number with rapper Nelly.
Fergie explains: “‘Party People’ with Nelly, I’m thrilled with that one. It was originally going to be on The Dutchess, but we didn’t finish it. So Polow Da Don played it for Nelly, and he put his thing on it without me even knowing. I had originally recorded a version of it with Trina … and I thought I was saving that one for my next album, but Polow played it for me with Nelly on it. They called me over the phone: ‘Fergie Ferg, what’s up? You’re gonna die!’ And I just went, ‘OK, maybe I should save this one for the next album,’ ’cause it just really excited me when I heard it. It’s that song that just gets me going.”
Another one of her favorite new tracks is “Labels with Love” that will be the feature tune to the “Sex and the City” movie - particularly special for Fergie because she was addicted to the TV show.
Fergie says: “I’ve got a new song called ‘Labels or Love,’ which is going to be the [theme] to the ‘Sex and the City’ film, and I’m so thrilled that they picked me to do it. … I grew up with those characters. I used to watch with my mom all the time — we’d tune in every week,” she said. “And so I loved those characters, and to be a part of the whole thing was such an honor. I would die to do a video with the girls — I would just want to see what was in their stylist’s closet — to see how many trailers they would bring filled with clothes for the video.”
