I really don’t know what to think of Timbaland anymore. He has produced the albums and songs of many musicians. To his credit, I can say he is capable of interesting and creative works but sooner or later you can get tired of the same beats that have captured some of his recent collaborations, sort of an inverted king Midas, he may turn melodies hits into shit by duplicating the best of one to another.
And now everybody is talking about 4 Minutes, Madonna’s new single produced by Timbaland and featuring Justin Timberlake in vocals. Some people are wondering where is Madonna’s creative input. I think it’s in the lyrics and her way of singing them. To me it sounds like Music meets Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado, both catchy songs, especially the former.
I think we all have to wait until her new album is leaked released to jugde Timbaland’s work, probably Madonna can count on him for further albums, who knows.
