Timbaland working with Taylor Swift on "Shock Value 2"
Timbaland has worked with everyone from Jay-Z to Madonna, but there’s one person he’s yet to check off his list.
The super-producer is eyeing a collaboration with Taylor Swift. “I think the main person I want to get is Taylor Swift,” he told RadarOnline.com. “I love her voice. I just think me and her can do something amazing.”
Timbo reached out to the country singer, but was unsuccessful in his attempt. “Her people said that she was busy. She wanted to do it, but you know, there’s all these people you gotta go through and her people said she was busy… but I’ll make it happen.”
Fans can expect a fusion of hip-hop and country if and when the unlikely pair come together. “It would have a country swing, but just a little bit of me. I know how to do that real good.”
Taylor is no stranger to hip-hop. She recently recorded a rap with T-Pain for the 2009 CMT Music Awards. Timbaland has also dabbled in country music, recording with Keith Urban.
I can't wait to hear this.
I think it would smash as a single.
Hope Taylor finds time to record it soon.
The only confirmed collaboration on the album is with Keri Hilson, which is rumored to be the first single...
He was working on some tracks for SV2 this past week in L.A. with Danja & Jim Beanz. hopefully it comes out before the year is over or atleast 1st quarter.
