Will.I.Am, frontman and (somewhat) creative genius of The Black Eyed Peas, has revealed his new single T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever), which features Latino babe Jennifer Lopez and Rolling Stone veteran Mick Jagger.
Speaking with Rolling Stone about the track and featuring Jagger, Will says "I went to play material for the label and Jimmy Iovine’s like, 'Yo, this is dope. Who are you gonna put on it?'," Will says. "I’m like, 'What are you talking about? It’s finished, it’s me.' So, he’s like, 'Oh, you don’t feature no one?'"
"You play your music and the first thing someone says, 'Who’s gonna be on it?' So I think of the hardest thing ever," he says. "And it happened, Mick Jagger. I just wanted to throw something out there that I thought could never be possible so they would stop asking me."
The track is the first to be lifted from Will's fourth studio album #willpower, which is set to be released in 2012. Apparently the album also includes a track featuring Nicole Scherzinger titled Mona Lisa Smile.
