Fergie, known as a solo act and as a member of Black Eyed Peas, is reportedly working on a solo sequel to 2006’s The Dutchess, according to Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz.
The album is likely to be released in 2015, a source tells the publication.
Mike WiLL Made-It is slated to be involved in the project, according to the report, though it is unclear how involved the producer will be. Mike WiLL has worked with several Pop acts in the past, including Miley Cyrus and Rihanna, among others.
Fergie has worked with several Rap acts throughout her career, including 2 Chainz, Ludacris and Q-Tip. Most of her Rap-based work has been as a vocalist on Black Eyed Peas efforts.

In 2009, Kathy Iandoli spoke about Fergie’s influence on the group in her review of B.E.P.’s The End for HipHopDX.“You know an ‘urban’ group can penetrate the ‘mainstream’ when the only threatening band member is a crazy white chick, and the Black Eyes have paved their way based upon that,” Iandoli said at the time. “It’s an old artist trick to win their fan base with super pop only to make room for their “serious” albums. The E.N.D. may be that starting off point, or it may just be the Peas’ experimental album. Regardless of what’s next, the now is decent enough.”
