Now that Obama won the 2008 election, William will be launching his new Will.i.am yes we can video. I’ve never seen or heard any of his songs. Anyone think they’re interesting? Anyone planning on watching his videos? Post a comment about your opinions here.
Will was in the studio last week for no less than six hours working on his latest pro-Barack Obama song, which sounds like it will be called “It’s a New Day.” The track is Will.I.Am’s third about Obama. When he released his first song about the presidential hopeful, “Yes We Can,” Will gathered some celebrity friends, including John Legend, Scarlett Johansson and Common, for a video. The next song, “We Are the Ones,” also had a star-filled video, this one featuring George Lopez and Jessica Alba.
The producer/MC plans to release his new ditty Wednesday — that is, if Obama is elected president.
“It’s a new day/ It’s a new day/ It’s a new day,” Will sang after some intense mumbling — mumbling with a melody and key in mind. “It’s a new day/ Blah, blah/ This morning/ Thinking about tomorrow.”
After a few more hours, Will.I.Am hit a roadblock. He forgot the entire song, and it was time to record.
“I just need the first word, then I’ll know the whole rap,” he said with a bewildered look. Then, as if someone turned on the lights, he remembered.
“Oh! Oh!” he said, before launching into the song. “In the name/ Creating game/ There’s a lot of people suffering/ Some of this injustice, stuff’s gotta change/ Money got the gas prices higher than ever/ If you ain’t got no money, you gotta get some/ People want money, more than education.”
In the event that Obama does take the White House, maybe the new president will get to hear the song personally on Tuesday night (November 4). Will.I.Am traveled to Chicago early Tuesday and is scheduled to arrive in the evening. He will be partaking in the official Obama festivities.
