    Will Smith has confirmed what fan sites have been speculating about for months: that a new album is on the way.

    In an interview shared by the Instagram account Black Film Allies, Smith discusses details about his first project since 2005’s Lost and Found.

    Over the past year and a half, I’ve been in the studio,” he tells the interviewer. “I have a project that is the most personal and powerful music project I’ve ever done. The idea of the music is, ‘Dance in your darkest moments.'”

    The album will include references to his wife’s drama and Chris Rock.

    In addition, in an Instagram post on Tuesday (July 23) that previews his new collaboration with Russ, “Work Of Art,” Smith says, “I just finished my album.”

    Dance In Your Darkest Moments seems like it may in fact be the album title, since the phrase already has its own Instagram page and website. It is billed as “A human wellness initiative designed to inspire self-exploration, encourage acceptance, & cultivate a celebration for life” that is “inspired” by Smith.

    RAKIM SENDS WILL SMITH COLLAB REQUEST AFTER 'SUMMERTIME' BITING CONFESSION

    Will Smith has received a request for a collaboration from Rakim after the Men in Black star admitted to trying to mimic the God MC on his hit song “Summertime.”

    Smith made the admission last year during CBS’ A Grammy Salute to 50 Years of Hip Hop TV special while he was chatting to the legendary rapper backstage.

    “I was absolutely trying to sound like you on ‘Summertime,'” he told Rakim. “‘Cause I had been screaming all night, and I couldn’t get my ‘happy-go-lucky’ high voice. And [the producer] just said, ‘Yo, just gimme that Rakim s---.'”

    After Smith reposted the clip on Instagram on Tuesday (July 23) to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of his and DJ Jazzy Jeff’s album Homebase, Rakim slid into the comments section with an exciting request.

    He wrote: “Peace Will !! Keep rockin bro, it’s time for SUMMERTIME PT 2 wit me on it !!!! lol.”

    While Smith has yet to respond, many of his followers were on board with the idea, with one writing: “yesssss @willsmith & @djjazzyjeff please make this happen!!!”
