SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-platinum producer,
prolific hit-maker, and sonic innovator Timbaland will release his third solo
album, entitled Timbaland Presents Shock Value II, on November 23rd, 2009, on
Mosley Music Group/Blackground Records/Interscope Records. The album is the
follow-up to the super-producer's multi-platinum 2007 album Timbaland Presents
Shock Value, which spawned three No. 1 pop singles, the Grammy-nominated "Give
It To Me" (featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake), "The Way I Are,"
(featuring Keri Hilson and D.O.E.), and a remix of OneRepublic's
multi-platinum blockbuster "Apologize" (one of the best-selling singles of the
decade).

On Shock Value II, Timbaland re-maps the pop/R&B landscape by batting away
genre boundaries once again. His prodigious influence and ability to stay
ahead of the curve have meant that a wide range of today's most popular
artists are eager to participate in the Shock Value series. This second
iteration features guest appearances from Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley
Cyrus, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, Brandy, Drake, and
Keri Hilson. In addition, Timbaland asserts the wide-screen sonic
adventurousness that has led the Virginia Beach native to dominate the pop
charts for more than a decade.
"I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a Shock Value II,"
Timbaland says. "I'm really proud of the caliber of artists on this album and
all the work they put into making it a success. I can promise that no one has
ever heard Katy Perry, The Fray, or Brandy sound like this before. It's
exciting because not only am I giving fans the best of me on each track, I'm
giving them a glimpse of their favorite artist in a completely different
light. This is an album that can be listened to from start to finish every
single time because each song is so unique and the range of artists so
diverse. I can't wait for my fans to hear the collaborations."
Over the course of his career, Timbaland has made an indelible imprint on the
music scene. His production has helped create career-defining hits for artists
such as Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Destiny's Child, Madonna, Fall Out Boy, and
Jay-Z, among many others. Respected beyond the genres of urban and hip-hop
music, Timbaland, whose musical influences cross cultural lines, has also been
sought by diverse superstars whose music similarly knows no boundaries, from
pop star Justin Timberlake to avant-singer Bjork. So prolific a hit-maker is
he that in the span of a single year - 2006 to 2007 - Timbaland produced more
than 10 international chart-toppers, including Furtado's "Promiscuous,"
Timberlake's "Sexy Back," and 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology."
Shock Value II's first single, "Morning After Dark" premiered on KIIS FM's
"On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" on October 16th and will be available for purchase
through Verizon V CAST on October 23rd and iTunes October 27th. The single
features Nelly Furtado and French singer-songwriter SoShy, a new artist on
Timbaland's label Mosley Music Group.
