While for many he’ll always be dance music’s super-villain, chart menace will.i.am isn’t about to fade away. Instead, the Black Eyed Peas producer is readying his fourth solo album – the excruciatingly-titled #willpower – and you can bet it’ll be more I Gotta Feeling than Bridging the Gap.

As you might expect, #willpower is coming overstuffed with guests – surprisingly, Boys Noize isn’t one of them – including the likes of Britney Spears, Swizz Beats, Busta Rhymes, Shakira and Mick Jagger. There’s also set to be a collaboration with LMFAO and Eva Simons, who had her big moment in 2010 as the voice of Afrojack’s Take Over Control.

In a recent interview with Capital FM, will.i.am also mentioned that he’s recruited the 2012 Future Music Festival headliners Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso for a song with Alicia Keys. We wouldn’t be surprised if Wolfgang Gartner also shows up somewhere, following his 2011 collab with will.i.am, Forever.
