Well we're not sure if they've found "the love" but The Black Eyed Peas have found a hefty pay cheque thanks to Electronic Arts.
Electronic Arts have announced that The Black Eyed Peas will provide the soundtrack for the upcoming game The URBZ: Sims in the City. As well as this they are lending their likeliness to the game.
Nine tracks from the upcoming album "Monkey Business" will be included in the game, exclusively for the console versions of the title. As well as this the band members will appear in the game teacher players how to "make it big" in the music industry.
"This is an unprecedented collaboration," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Audio at Electronic Arts. "Never before has a band gone back in to the studio to re-record their album in another language, specifically for a game. Once again, EA has set the bar higher than ever before."
"The Black Eyed Peas music and band members themselves are a perfect fit for the attitude and feel of The Urbz: Sims in the City," said Sinjin Bain, Executive Producer and Vice President. "The Band's music embodies the same sense of fun and energy as the game and we look forward to giving players the opportunity to experience music remixed with gaming at its fullest."
