Black Eyed Peas' front man Will.i.Am has tweeted an exciting message about the talented young singer he mentored briefly on 2010's X Factor, Cher Lloyd. 

The 'Boom Boom Pow' star publicly messaged Lloyd, 17, last night:

"@CherLloyd hey Cher, when should we release the song we recorded in london???...(Its a smasher)"

An hour later, he tweeted to his followers:

"The day after the last xfactor...cher loyd and I went in the studio and made a mega smasher..."
