Grammy-nominated producer Timbaland is preparing to unveil his
second solo album, Timbaland Presents Shock Value this March.

Shock Value boasts a genre-bending lineup of guest appearances that range from
rap stars Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg to rock acts
The Hives and Fall Out Boy, while also welcoming
both the legendary Elton John on piano as well as singers M.I.A.
and Keri Hilson – who, like Nelly Furtado,
is signed to Timbaland”s Mosely Music Group through a joint venture with Interscope.

"My mission is to blow up the boundaries and tear down the limits,"
Timbaland said via statement. "I”m taking my music outside of the box.
I”m not getting away from what I”m known for; I”m just going to a place where
it”s all about the music, not about the labels on the music. That”s why I call
it Shock Value–from the artists to the production, it will shock the system."

Shock Value arrives on the heels of Timbaland”s Grammy-nominated collaboration
with Justin Timberlake on the multi-platinum FutureSex/LoveSounds.
Timbaland will also perform as a guest on Timberlake”s 2007 "FutureSex/LoveShow
World Tour," Timbaland”s first time touring in years and first ever world
tour where he will offer audiences a chance to hear beats and original music
from Shock Value.

The North American leg of the "FutureSex/LoveShow World Tour," with
opening act Pink, began in San Diego, CA on January 8 and runs
through March 29 in East Rutherford, NJ. Timbaland Presents Shock Value is set
for release on March 27 via Mosley Music Group/Blackground/Interscope.
