Here’s another bonus track from Chris Brown’s latest album “FAME”. The Timbaland-produced “Talk Ya Ear Off” is an exclusive on the Japanese edition of the R&B singer’s fourth studio album, which was released two weeks later than other countries, earlier this week. I have yet to come across a Timbaland production that I didn’t like or grow to like. This is one hot production. Grab your headphones and bop along. However, I do think Chris’ voice sounds a bit funny in this one. In any case, it’s an overall good track. I actually think it should have made the US cut.
Chris Brown – Talk Ya Ear Off – New Song
Timbaland recently reached out to his fans in a very cool way last week. The super producer posted a video on his Twitter page answering questions from his followers about what hes been up to. Topics ranged from his new free song giveaway to Kanye West. Timbaland also talked about working with Lady Gaga and admit that the collaboration between him and the princess of pop is already in the process of happening. That sounds awesome! I think he could definitely make a sick beat with Lady Gaga and she would definitely kill it on vocals. I wonder when this is going down.
Here is Keri Hilson’s official video for a song “Breaking Point”. The Timbaland colaborate with Keri Hilson , “Breaking Point” is the lead single from Keri’s upcoming album called “No Boys Allowed”
As I said before this could be a Hit!
Katy Perry and Timbaland have a new video about to come out for the song ?If We Ever Meet Again?, te next single off of the rapper?s new album ?Shock Value II?. Timbaland has spoken to MTV about the music video saying ?I wanna make something deep. I don?t know if I wanna make it like a relationship. I wanna make it like she saved my life with whatever depression I was going through, whether it be drug depression, weight-loss depression – something. ? Will she be around if I go through this again?? The video was directed by Paul ?Coy? Allen.
Although Timbaland has a lot of major contributors to his new album ?Shock Value II?, the producer was surprisingly taken with Miley Cyrus. He said ?Man, she?s gonna be like Justin [Timberlake]. She comes from that same musical background, where she?s just got it. Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is she?s special. When I worked with her, I was very impressed. I was like, ?Whoa.?? I know how the Disney star is coming off as some sort of sensation but I doubt that Miley?s going to achieve the same thing that Justin has. And considering what the pop/R&B singer has done with his career, I doubt anyone would want to be compared to the guy.
Record producer Timbaland has gone ahead and filed a lawsuit against his own record label wherein he has accused music bosses at his record label of attempting to tarnish his image.
The hit releasing songster has said in the lawsuit that executives at the Blackground music record company have over a period of time become jealous of his enormous success both as performer and producer. And to stop him make further stride up in the world of music they are calling other record labels asking them not to hire him.
Man what it is with community of rap singers (mind on offense to anyone here) a little success may be a few hits and they think they have conquered every domain there exists, someone go tell him and the likes of him that it takes years of hard work to establish oneself.
People like him are newbie today and history tomorrow and just in a year?s time people and fans just cannot recall your name. Timbaland go wash your face with fresh water it seems there is a lot of sh.t already settling on your ass.

Chris Cornell?s long-awaited Timbaland produced album, Scream, is reaching stores on 3/10. Chris has been keeping busy rehearsing with his new band and talking with his fans on his blog to gear up for the release. The front man hasn?t picked up an electric guitar since the break-up of his legendary group Soundgarden back in the late 90?s, but according to his latest blog entry on ChrisCornell.com, he?s thinking of busting them out for his upcoming tour:
?Hi people. Here is an open question. Since I got my guitars back I have been considering playing guitar live again. Who thinks I should pick it up again? I play guitar all day every day as I am always working on new songs. Let me know if you think I should hit it live. The king is dead. God save the king.?
Chris Cornell will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel live tonight, Friday, January 23rd – and free tickets are up for grabs. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, come along and see his outdoor mini-concert – tickets and all other details are available HERE. It’s a great chance to catch Chris and his band live before they head out to Europe for four exclusive shows next month.
Go behind the scenes with rocker Chris Cornell on the set of his new video for ?Scream.? Watch Chris discuss the concept behind the video and the unique, dreamlike quality that director Alan Ferguson (Fall Out Boy, Jay-Z) helps create. ?Scream? is the title track off of the forthcoming album produced by Timbaland due out this year.
Timbaland is coming out with a new album and it is once again filled with names you can only see on the A-list. ?Shock Value: Volume 2? is the follow up to his 2007 release and it is due to come out in stores on February 14th. Once again, the record features his most frequent collaborator Justin Timberlake. Justin Timberlake sings on the album?s lead single ?Meltdown? alongside Gwen Stefani. The song will be released to radio on January 5th. Other artist featured include Usher, Keri Hilson, Jonas Brothers, Madonna, Rihanna, T-Pain, Akon, Jay-Z, Linkin Park, Dr. Dre, Missy Elliot, Jordin Sparks, TI, Flo-Rida and Coolio.
After seeing steamy pictures of Rihanna and Justin Timberlake shooting the video for the Barbadian babe?s song ?Rehab?, I can?t help but say ?finally!?. The music video was just recently released. The video was shot last month in Vasquez Rocks Park, just outside of Los Angeles. JT and producer pal Timbaland wrote the song and also contributed backing vocals in the bridge. Anthony Mandler directed this Rihanna video. He has done so for the tenth time! And as usual, it is amazing! Hey, if it ain?t broke, don?t fix it. And his partnership with Rihanna as her director is working pretty damn well.
Chris Cornell & Timbaland are giving fans the chance to come to an in-store meet and greet in several Verizon Wireless outlets. Visitors will be able to listen to Cornell?s upcoming album Scream, meet the artists, and have a chance to receive tickets to their show that night. Check for your local dates now!

MySpace has just unveiled the newest installment of their ?Artist On Artist? series. Check out Chris Cornell and Timbaland as they talk about the hard-rock frontman?s upcoming album, Scream. The two musicians also talk about their first meeting, rock and hip-hop?s groovy origins and Chris shares that their collaboration is ?the most album-oriented album? he?s over done!
The Timbaland produced album, Scream will be out in early 2009 on Mosley Music Group/Interscope Records
Throughout his storied career, Chris Cornell has clearly never been an artist that is content sitting in one creative comfort spot for too long. The versatile rocker who became a household name from his success in Soundgarden and Audioslave has teamed up with perhaps the most celebrated producer of this era: Timbaland. Scream is the result of their genre-defying sessions.
Cornell and Timbaland are set to kick off a string of eight live shows on October 17th to support the project. Scream will be performed in its entirety to mimic the experience of listening to the LP from start to finish.
The new album features infectious tracks like “Ground Zero,” “Part of Me,” and the exhilarating title track and lead single, “Scream.” Fans can expect a unique blend of hip-hop and rock from this release that will no doubt venture into new territory for both Cornell and Timbaland.

Madonna’s 11th studio album for Warner Bros. Records “HARD CANDY” is scheduled to have a global release on April 28th and a US release on April 29th, it was confirmed by her label. “HARD CANDY” (the follow up to Madonna’s “CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR” which debuted at No. 1 in 30 countries and sold over 8 million copies), has been described as a brilliant up-tempo collection of 12 songs in which Madonna remains ensconced in club mode but this time adds an urban hip hop beat in collaboration with musical partners Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams of the Neptunes and Nate “Danja” Hills. The debut single, the pulsating “4 Minutes” will be released at the end of March. “The title is a juxtaposition of tough and sweetness?kind of like I’m gonna kick your ass but it’s going to make you feel good. And of course, I love candy” laughed the material girl. Madonna, a multi-Grammy-award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, cultural icon, world renowned stage performer, video visionary, children’s book author, director and documentary film maker has sold 200 million albums in the course of her unprecedented two decade plus career and is slated to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10th.
South Florida is about to get rocked. The Y100?s Jingle Ball is hitting the town on Saturday, December 15 at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton will serve as one of the hosts while the hottest stars of today will take the stage. Artists that are on the bill include Timbaland, Good Charlotte, Natasha Bedingfield, Ashley Tisdale, One Republic, Plain White Ts, Sean Kingston, Elliot Yamin and even more.
Perez will also be joining Elvis Duran for the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York City on December 14. That?s one very busy celebrity blogger. I wish I was Perez.
Singer Sean Kingston almost quit the music industry after his idols Timbaland and Pharrell rejected his early recordings. The 17-year-old – whose debut single Beautiful Girls was certified platinum in July 2007 – was finally given a break when Britney Spears’ reported ex-boyfriend J.R. Rotem agreed to sign him to his label Beluga Heights. He should not be bitter about this all because there is a time in everyone?s career where there is a struggle period and one should be humble enough to forgive and forget those who rejected you or else instant fame would never have made you learn the value of success and adulation. Now that he is successful, he can get a contract anywhere but he might have learnt in this stop span that whom to trust and whom not to even talk to. I wish Sean more success in his future projects and may he be successful at whatever he does.
Get ready all you OneRepublic fans. Their album ?Dreaming Out Loud? will be hitting stores November 20.
Their current single ?Apologize? has been saturating the radio stations all across America. The band can thank Timbaland for the great remix he did with the single. ?It gave me goose bumps the first time I heard it,? the 28-year-old artist says.
Timbaland, who apparently saw Tedder, one of the band members, at an MTV contest, offered him a deal. He then spend the next two years hoping he’d record and release a solo album, but Timbaland kept telling him that he’s a producer and not an artist. ?Apologize? was written in 2003, but wasn’t touched until 2007.
I guess it takes awhile for a great song to hit the radio. And this song truly does give me the goose bumps.
Here’s the official music video for the new Timbaland single titled “Apologize” feauturing rock band One Republic. The single is already a hit in the US standing this week at #4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
With all the lip synching, jelly jiggling, bitch slapping, sore-losing and bad fashion at the recently held VMAs, some musicians found time to show us that there?s still good left in the world in the form of their newly ripped hot bodies. Now you can gimme more of that!
Dr. Dre appeared in all his massive rock-hard glory like he was the Fantastic Four?s The Thing. Timbaland is no longer shy about his muscled body and brought sexyback by accentuating his pecks and guns with a little black tank. And Maroon 5?s front man Adam Levine shed his formerly scrawny image when he showed his buff shoulders and biceps in a hipster vest.
The best of the best got together on TRL last Tuesday as Timbaland, Kanye West, Robin Thicke, Rihanna and Chris Brown announced the nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards.
Justin Timberlake and Beyonce led the pack of nominees with seven nominations each. Kanye West and Rihanna both earned five nominations and Amy Winehouse came out with three. A list of performers were also announced. Performers will include Kanye West, Fall Out Boy, Amy Winehouse, Chris Brown, The Foo Fighters and Rihanna. The VMAs will air live from the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas on September 9th.
With that list of nominees and performances, it will look to be a solid show. I?m watching!
