Will.I.Am has revealed that his new solo album will feature collaborations with Cheryl Cole, Justin Bieber and Alicia Keys.

Speaking at The Brit Awards 2012 last night (21st February) the Black Eyed Peas rapper also confirmed that his LP, entitled #WillPower, also features a track with dance duo LMFAO.

He added to the BBC that he was "really excited" about his forthcoming record, stating that as well as recruiting the help of Chezza and Biebs, it will also feature duets from "a whole bunch of other folks."

Will has previously worked with Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger on tune T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever), revealing he is still in close contact with the Rolling Stones frontman.

When asked how he got Jagger to appear on the song, the 36-year old said: "How did I get Mick Jagger on the record? I called him on the phone. We've been texting back and forth for the last five years. He's one of the nicest legends I've ever met."

Will.I.Am is currently championing Cheryl Cole's solo materia! l, recently revealing that he wants the Girls Aloud babe to debut her new single on The Voice - where he appears as a coach - instead of rival show Britain's Got Talent as it would "p*ss off" Simon Cowell.
