Will Smith on tour!

But that’s not all. There’s more music coming from the Fresh Prince, too!

Will announced that he has more than 30 newly recorded songs under his belt right now, explaining that there’s about “six or seven that I really, really like, that I’m trying to get the ideas to come out right.”

The 47-year-old star may have been in the business for decades, but he confessed that stepping back into the limelight “terrified” him.

“When you’ve had a certain amount of success, it seems like it should breed confidence. But it actually doesn’t…When you win a lot, and then you lose the ability to lose. You’re not allowed to lose anymore,” he explained.

“You actually lose the ability to create. The reckless abandon-and it’s something I’m actually getting back from watching my kids. They really don’t care. That kind of reckless abandon and that lack of fear. And not trying to protect anything, and not trying to live up to a legacy or anything like that.”

Smith added, “Fear is the killer of creativity, man. And there’s also a misconception about failing. No, you have to fail a lot. You have to fail early. You have to fail often. And you have to fail forward. So I’m trying to get comfortable getting back to failing.”

He confessed that his film After Earth, co-starring his son Jaden Smith, was “a thoroughly and completely accepted failure,” LOL.

However, he’s continuing his work on the big screen, too, and promised that Bad Boys 3, the new installment in his buddy cop franchise with Martin Lawrence, should arrive “within the next 12 to 16 months.”

And as for music, he’ll never really stop. “I’m definitely interested in pushing the envelope of spittin’-how far can you go? I’ma keep giving it a shot up until I’m 70 or 80 years old,” Smith said. “I’m just trying to still find that voice. I have so many things that I wanna say. I’m struggling with saying ’em in a way that fit the flavor of music that I tend to like.”
