Britney Spears is hard at work on her new album and we’re predicting it’s going to be something awesome and totally different from what we’ve previously heard from Britney thanks to producer, will.i.am!
will.i.am and Britney previously collaborated on the hit song “Scream and Shout,” but will.i.am was in no rush to take on the daunting task of producing an album for one of the biggest pop stars in the world. So, will.i.am requested lunch! That’s right: he insisted that he and Britney meet for lunch every week for three months to talk about the album.
“[Britney and I] 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 … We can’t do another song about going on the dance floor … Didn’t we see a bunch of Britney doing that already? Don’t we want to see something that comes from her heart?” will.i.am explained.
He got his wish and after a dozen or so lunch dates, Britney is finally in the studio and will.i.am is producing. We’re expecting great things for this album especially since Britney will also be working with producers Hit-Boy and Diplo and rapper Wiz Khalifa has announced that he will appear on at least one song on the new album.
