Will Will.I.Am Produce U2? (Undercover)
Kanye West has casually mentioned that Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas will be producing the next U2 album.
According to Pitchfork, Kanye West said “Will.I.Am is producing on U2’s next album. I’m sure it will be dope as shit judging from the crazy beats
he’s done in the past three years.�?/FONT>
Assuming it’s true, it will be a bold move for U2, although not entirely illogical. West toured the world as U2’s support act in 2006 and 2007 and the crossover appeal was proven with that tour’s success. If Jay-Z can work with Coldplay, Will.I.Am can work with U2.
It’s bold moves like this that have made thousands of “old�?U2 fans cringe at their new stuff, but their new stuff selling more than ever thanks to a devoted new fan base.
