Williams discussed growing up listening to Richie's music.
"Ya know, to see this guy continue to reinvent himself over and over and over again across more genres than I think any other artist," Williams shared, while also mentioning he "fanned-out."
Williams praised Richie for doing much more than helping him on The Voice.
He said having Richie advise his team has been "like a master class."
In the video, it's noted that the two have been in the studio together with DJ Reflex working on an upcoming project!
