Timberlake, Furtado, And Timbaland Set To Revive Musical Magic With Upcoming Release
In a thrilling revelation sure to set the hearts of their fans aflutter, the iconic trio of Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, and Timbaland have united for an eagerly anticipated musical comeback. The announcement follows a month of tantalizing hints, with Timbaland sharing glimpses of their collaborative efforts in a studio setting. Now, the moment fans have been eagerly awaiting has been confirmed – the trio’s new single is slated for release on September 1st.
The excitement reached a crescendo as Timbaland, 51, took to social media, presenting a promotional video that carried a simple yet impactful message: “THE TIME HAS COME.” The video itself serves as a heartfelt trip down memory lane, adorned with clips spanning the 2000s. These snippets capture the magic of Timbaland’s collaborative performances and recording sessions with Nelly 44, and Justin, aged 42.
The video not only teases fans with nostalgic visuals but also offers a taste of their forthcoming single. Justin’s distinctive vocals echo through the snippet, delivering the lines “I keep goin’, I keep goin’, I keep goin’ up.”
Timbaland shared the video along with an exuberant caption: “WE BACK. DA KING 👑 HAS RETURN !!!!”
A particularly heartwarming moment within the teaser features Timberlake’s melodic voice intoning, “How you been, young lady? You know that feeling still drive me crazy.” This serves as a direct homage to their previous collaborative hit from 2007, Promiscuous, an enduring piece that fans continue to enjoy.
The groundwork for this exhilarating revelation was laid out a month prior, when Nelly offered a candid glimpse into the collaborative process. She shared a screenshot of a FaceTime call with both Timbaland and Justin, who were together in the studio. These snapshots radiated camaraderie, as all three artists smiled for the camera, even flashing peace signs.
This impending single launch marks a significant juncture as the trio’s first collective effort since their collaboration on Give It to Me in 2007. The track soared to the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 and even secured a Grammy Award nomination. This success was the crowning jewel following a momentous year in 2006, during which both Nelly and Justin released No. 1 albums enriched by Timbaland’s expert production.
Timbaland’s influence extended beyond artist collaborations, as he played a pivotal role in shaping Justin’s musical journey. Their collaborative spirit persisted in 2009 when both Nelly and Justtin lent their voices to Timbaland’s album Shock Value II.
