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 ?Ç£Will.I.Am is producing on U2?ÇÖs next album. I?ÇÖm sure it will be dope as shit judging from the crazy beats he?ÇÖs done in the past three years.?Ç¥
Assuming it?ÇÖs true, it will be a bold move for U2, although not entirely illogical. West toured the world as U2?ÇÖs support act in 2006 and 2007 and the crossover appeal was proven with that tour?ÇÖs success.
If Jay-Z can work with Coldplay, Will.I.Am can work with U2. It?ÇÖs bold moves like this that have made thousands of ?Ç£old?Ç¥ U2 fans cringe at their new stuff, but their new stuff selling more than ever thanks to a devoted new fan base.
