Timbaland's 3rd solo CD set for release

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- U.S. singer and producer Timbaland's third solo album, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value II," is set for release next month, Interscope Records said.

The CD is to go on sale Nov. 23 on Mosley Music Group/Blackground Records/Interscope Records.

It is the follow-up to the artist's multi-platinum 2007 album, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value."

"On 'Shock Value II,' Timbaland re-maps the pop/R&B landscape by batting away genre boundaries once again," the record label said in a news release. "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 new album features guest appearances by Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, Brandy, Drake and Keri Hilson.

"I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a 'Shock Value II,'" Timbaland said in a statement. "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."
