Let's be real here, we knew she was gunna work with him.
And Britt has a very strong bond with Will.i.am and they have a #1 hit together so the label obviously loves the idea. This just means we'll get the album sooner than later!
You guys should be happy. This doesn't mean he's going to produce each individual song, it just means he'll oversee and most likely dictate what material stays and what ends up on the cutting room floor. He's a lot more forward thinking than Dr. Luke and Max Martin though.
