The Dutchess (2006) is the solo debut album of American pop singer Fergie, a member of The Black Eyed Peas.

Ludacris, B-Real from Cypress Hill and Rita Marley all make guest appearances.<ref>[mtv.com MTV.com].

[edit] Miscellanea

• Waiting approximately a minute after the last (13th) track entitled "Finally", there is a bonus track called "Maybe We Can Take A Ride".
• After the album's release, Fergie claimed its title, The Dutchess, was spelled with an extra "T" to add her own trademark to it to so it can separate her from the "The Duchess Of York".
• A latest trademark from Fergie is nearly every song will have a bridge with a completely different tune such as a slow and smooth beat for "London Bridge" and a Stevie Ray Vaughan-esque style for "Fergalicious".
