Disco de Black Eyed Peas: “Don't Lie [UK CD #2]”

"Don't Lie", the second single, yet the least successful, is their best single off the album Monkey Business. It has a very decent beat that has nice violins at the beginning to a nice, Pop-R&B beat. The lyrics are encouraging not lieing. Fergie is pretty good at singing but the rest is better.

Alright, I'm rating this cd-single with 4 stars because, on one hand, I find the track "DON'T LIE" very good (5 stars) but the remix version on this cd is really poor. The original song became an instant hit around the world. Peaking at #14 in the US and #1 in several territories.

There's a never-released song called "SHAKE YOUR MONKEY", which is good but nothing really special. It really doesn't surprise me that didn't appear on the "MONKEY BUSINESS" cd. Finally you have the video for the original version of "DON'T LIE". The video is very good.

So, if you like this group, I'd say to buy this cd. If you just like the song and you're looking for some good remixes, I wouldn't recommend it. I would recommend the "MONKEY BUSINESS" cd instead even if it doesn't include any remixes but the songs are great.

"Don't Lie" is a great single, much catchier and fun than "Don't Phunk With My Heart." The song has a relaxed, summery feel to it (check out the music video, which was shot in Brazil!) and the lyrics are catchy and infectious. Fergie's vocals seem really natural, similar to "Where Is the Love?" Their different styles clash in a good way on a mellow, laid back song about honesty in relationships.
