This year, producer Timbaland went from shadowy hip-hop genius to king of pop (a.k.a. “that guy in every video”) — and judging by the sneak peek we got of his upcoming “solo” album, his reign may well continue in ‘07. Timbaland Presents Shock Value, due in March, is set to include songs with Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nelly Furtado, M.I.A. and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger — plus She Wants Revenge, Elton John and the Hives. While we haven’t heard the Hives track yet (can’t wait), we did check out the song with She Wants Revenge, which has Tim rapping and singing over the band’s guitar lines, with Justin Warfield coming in on the chorus. We also heard the ultra-poppy “Scream,” with Scherzinger, which features a simple, tambourine-bashing rhythm track — and someone having a very loud (fake?) orgasm in the background.
