Confirmed: Britney's album executive produced by will.i.am
Quote:
Will.i.am has confirmed to Rolling Stone that he will be acting as executive producer on Britney Spears**' forthcoming album, her eighth. The producer and Black Eyed Peas** frontman, whose new solo effort, #willpower, debuted at number nine on the Billboard Top 200 today, said that he is a few months into the process of working on her album.
Will.i.am has confirmed to Rolling Stone that he will be acting as executive producer on Britney Spears**' forthcoming album, her eighth. The producer and Black Eyed Peas** frontman, whose new solo effort, #willpower, debuted at number nine on the Billboard Top 200 today, said that he is a few months into the process of working on her album.
Although will.i.am wouldn't confirm who those other songwriters and producers will be, he did mention that Spears "really liked Diplo," who has been rumored to be involved in the album. The producer hopes this album will reflect who Spears is as a person rather than an artist, and he's been actively spending time getting to know her on a more intimate level to ensure that can happen.
"I was like, 'OK, look, guys, me and Britney need to have lunch four times a month for three months before I even try to go in the studio with her,'" will.i.am said. "Because we need to talk. We need to talk about what she's excited about in life. I gotta talk about the things that hurt her. I gotta talk about the things that make her concerned – she's a mother. I gotta talk to her about all the things that her fans want to talk to her about. I gotta be the vehicle between her and her fans." He added, "We can't do another song about going on the dance floor. Really? Didn't we see a bunch of Britney doing that already? Don't we want to see something that comes from her heart?"
The producer and Spears have now had almost three months' worth of lunches, and they had a session yesterday that will.i.am called "amazing." Although he was unable to offer any sense of a timeline on the album's release, he suggested that the production on his end is moving along fairly quickly.

She better make a personal/artistic/high quality album, not will's rejects

We basically already knew this, and I don't get why people are mad when will.i.am is giving us the album we all want.

Hit Boy is close friends with will, so those tracks might make it. Perhaps as bonus tracks?
