"And he's really talented." will went on to gush about the star, but he wouldn't reveal much when it came to what their tune will sound like, teasing, "You'll have to hear it."</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="will.i.am Taps Justin Bieber And More On Upcoming Album" id="vid:818032" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>In addition to discussing the <i>Believe</i> singer, will noted that he's almost done with the album: "[I'm a] couple weeks away from completion, so we'll have Bieber on the record, <a href="/news/articles/1685435/eva-simons-william-this-is-love.jhtml">Eva Simons on the album</a>, LMFAO, Ne-Yo, a lot of cool folks."</P><P>It's also been rumored that Britney Spears, Alicia Keys, Swedish House Mafia, Shakira, Busta Rhymes and Swizz Beatz may all appear on the record, set to drop later this year.

"There's some ghetto, ugly, dirty stuff. And then there's dance stuff, global world stuff and, like, avant-garde, left-of-center, for-art's-sake music that has nothing to do with getting played on the radio. I'm just art-ing out. It's pretty diverse."</P><P><i>Are you looking forward to will and Justin's collabo?
