Timbaland "Shock Value 2" Info (Release Date/Tracklisting)

[Lunatic]

Timbaland has revealed that his new album, the follow-up to 2007’s ‘Shock Value’, will be hitting stores on February 14th. The album features 20 brand-new tracks including the new single ‘Meltdown’ that features guest vocals from Gwen Stefani and Justin Timberlake and will be impacting on radio from January 5th.

MTV.com was given an exclusive first listen of 5 of the album’s tracks, including the new single, and revealed it’s some of the producers ‘best work’.

‘Meltdown’ – the first single from the album, featuring guest vocals from Gwen Stefani and old-time collaborator Justin Timberlake is a typical Timbaland club-stomper, with thumping chorus in which Justin and Gwen invite one another to ‘melt down; all the way’.

‘That’s The Way’ – featuring Usher and Keri Hilson on vocals, this throwback track samples the classic KC and the Sunshine band track, ‘That’s The Way I Like It’ but with a sultry new twist reminiscent of Usher’s own ‘Love In This Club’ single.

‘Dumb’ – the rockiest of the tracks, featuring the group of the moment, the Jonas Brothers. Beginning as seemingly regular teenage, High School Musical-esque song, it soon breaks out into a crazy whirl-of-a-track that is about an unnecessary break-up.

‘Accross The Sky’ – a leftover track from Madonna’s ‘Hard Candy’ album, which Timbaland produced many tracks for. However, this version has been completely reworked from the original leaked clip that has appeared online. Now a much darker track similar to the ‘Hard Candy’ track, Voices. With guest vocals from Justin Timberlake (again) and a brief appearance from the lady herself, Madonna, this song is longest of the tracks, clocking in at over 7 minutes!

‘Underground’ – this one is definitely our favourite. Featuring a heavy sample of the classic dance track ‘Sandstorm’ by Darude, this is unlike anything Timbaland has done before. With incredible quest vocals from Rihanna, this song is one to watch out for. It has to be a single!

Othe guests on the album include T-Pain, Akon, Linkin Park, Jordin Sparks, T.I. and Coolio.

no problem! damn at the guest lineup, budget must be through the roof

[Retro]

can't wait. The first one was a great pop album. "The Way I Are" was wow. The beat, hook, breakdown everything. That was the club banger of the year.

[GangstaBoogy]

Tim Dog? Coolio? Nigga!

[Jaydc555]

Tim dog on two tracks!I enjoyed the first one and I'm looking forward to this.I'm surprised Chris Cornell isn't on it.

[-CaliKid-]

[Booz]

[Meho]

Source ? I don't see anything on mtv.com...

Not really looking forward to this, Timbaland without Danja= shit

[R1ZE]

not looking forward to this either, but i think tims hot regardless of whether danja contributes

the guests dont really interest me. not that i hate them, but nothing that i'm dyin to hear. im sure this'll be a solid release, but we'll see when the time comes

[jeromechickenbone]

Fuck this.  Give me a Timbaland & Magoo album. 

I will admit it is dope for Tim to reach out to Coolio / Tim Dog.  That shit came waaaaaaaaaay outta left field - didn't see that coming at all.  I def wanna hear those tracks.

Jay and Tim have made unbelievable shit together, but I don't think Jay has it in him to not sound like a homosexual when he rhymes anymore.  I predict Jay will be unlistenable.  I hope I'm wrong and we get somethin crazy like "Nigga What, Nigga Who", fuckin Big Pimpin, whatever...but I don't think it's gonna happen.

I don't think Jay has it in him to not sound like a homosexual when he rhymes anymore
