Ever wonder what a U2 / Black Eyed Peas collaboration would sound like? Yeah, me neither.

But that don't matter now, because it's happening.

BEP frontman will.i.am is on board to produce U2's new album.

Rumors have been floating around for a while now that super producer and Black Eyed Pea front man Will.I.Am will be taking to the boards to help construct the upcoming, yet to be titled U2 album. Rumors have now been confirmed as fact. The legendary rockers will hit the studio with the producer to create a genre bending album complete with U2’s stadium rocking anthems and Will’s Hip Hop influenced style.

This article makes it sound like Will.I.Am is the sole producer of U2's next album and that's not true. He's not even the main producer as that fell to Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. However, it does appear that Will.I.Am played some role in the production of the album. What role he played and how many songs he actually influenced is unknown at this point.
