Coming soon to your radio will be Timbaland's 1st single off of his upcoming album, Shock Value 2. 'Meltdown' has been confirmed by MTV as the 1st single and expect radio to have it on January 5th. It is expected to leak earlier than that however. I certainly do hope so!
Here's the info that Perez Hilton posted from MTV:
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’.
Besides the 1st single, MTV was also given a preview of some of the other tracks off his new album:
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, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, Jordin Sparks, T.I., Flo-Rida, and Coolio.
Sounds like it's going to be a hot album!! It drops on Valentine's Day.
