وأخيرا ترك -ويل ايام صمته وأعترف أنه المنتج المنفذ لألبوم بريتني الثامن ، حيث قال لمجلة رولنك أستون
(بعد العمل مع بريتني بألبومها السابق والعمل على أغنية سيكريم أند شاوت ، أحبت بريتني العمل معي، وأضاف أنه يريد
من الالبوم أن يضهر بريتني كشخص أكثر من أضهارها كونها فنانة ، وأن قضائه 3شهور مع بريتني ستساعده
على تنفيذ هذه الرؤية والدخول الى عقلها وأعماقها ، وقال :
قلت لهم ،حسننا ياجماعة أنا وبريتني علينا تناول الغداء 4 مرات بالشهر
قبل أن أحاول أصلا الذهاب الى الأستوديو معها ، لاننا بحاجة للتكلم ، التكلم عن الاشياء التي
تثير حماسها والأشياء التي أذتها وجرحتها والاشياء التي تثير قلقها، وهي أم الان ، أريد
التكلم معها عن الاشياء التي يريدها معجبيها أن تتحدث عنها ، يمكننا دائما صنع اغنية
عن ذهابنا الى المرقص ، لكننا نريد أن نسمع منها أغاني نابعة من قلبها ))
Will tells
Rolling Stone "After I did a song on Femme Fatale – 'Big Fat Bass' – and then we did 'Scream & Shout,' she really liked the way we worked because of my approach," will.i.am said last night at a Levi's event in Hollywood celebrating his sustainable-product program Ekocycle. "So they asked me to be involved in, not producing and writing every song, but to be an executive producer on the songs."
Although he wouldn't confirm what producers are involved, he did say Brit
"really liked Diplo," who produced Beyonce’s “Run The World (Girls)” and Usher’s “Climax.”
Will hopes the album will showcase her as a person rather than an artist, spending three months of time with Brit to really get inside her mind.
"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, 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?"
