He is a coach on The Voice UK. In collaborations and with the Black Eyed Peas, he has a total of 34 Top 40 entries on the UK Singles Chart since 1998, and has sold 9.4 million singles in the UK.
he doesnt actually do much producing though, I mean just listen to the sample for the Justin track. there's plenty more examples like that.
Let me take my former Britney stan (of +12 years) card out for a minute.
How are y'all talking about "ddd BFB part 2" when it CLEARLY says he doesn't want to keep making "penetrate me on the dance floor" records for her. Can y'all READ? Reading is so essential.
I wasn't referring to you sis. You should know I like you
I was referring to the people who legitimately believe the entire album will sound like S&S.
Oh good, because I legit think the way that Will is talking about it sounds promising. I guess in this day and age there wasn't much chance of her not working with him, but it sounds like his ego's diminished so I'll stand by.
I'm happy now that he confirmed he's not producing and writing the songs, and that he's getting her to open up about her personal life and not just dance music. I was completely against this until he said what he said. I'm definitely here for a personal, innovative, and mold breaking album by the queen.
Y'all need to take a ****ing sit. I mean... DIPLO? Besides..
Quote:
"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?"
This is exactly what i want.
What is the role of an executive producer?
The executive producer is just responsible for business decisions, whereas the music producer produces the music. Even so, sometimes the executive producer is supposed to substantiate the creative visions of featured musicians by managing the timetable including the employment of sound engineers or session musicians.
but it was still a good album.
Besides..
