It's been a minute since Timbaland has produced tracks for his own benefit. After a 2006 that saw his work warmly received via new albums from Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, the Virginia native will begin 2007 with his own project featuring a top secret lineup of guests.
Due sometime in March, Timbaland’s as-yet-untitled album will follow up 2003’s Under Construction II, which was a joint project with his longtime partner Magoo. The new set will explore new territory.
"He ventures into the alternative world and the real pop world," Timbaland right-hand-man Nate "Danja" Hills says. "He has so many different sounds from hip-hop, to pop, to rock on this album. And he pulls every single one of them off perfectly.”
A possible first single, "Give It To Me," features his good luck charms, Timberlake and Furtado. While other guests booked for the project remain under wraps, rumor has it that Bjork, Jay-Z, Missy Elliott and 50 Cent are among the artists involved.
Timbaland will promote his new album next year while touring with Timberlake, where "he will have his own spot in the show," according to Hills.
