There haven’t been many great albums recently. Aside from Britney Spears doing her thing and Radiohead releasing their album on the Internet, there has been very little of interest in the music world. Timbaland is one of the few artists making great pop music in the current climate. Could Timbaland be the savior of contemporary pop music?
Timbaland’s album Shock Value is groundbreaking on so many levels. Here is an artist respected as a hip hop producer, defying all genre boundaries and throwing in shades of electro, hip hop, RnB, house, rock, indie – everything.
Timbaland is unique in that his music appeals to a wide range of people. You’ve got hop hop joints like “The Way I Are” sat next to the beautiful ballad “Apologize”. The real telling sign of how great Timbaland is will come if and when he releases his next album, but if it’s anything like the stuff he has been working on over the past three years, we’ll know Timbaland is here to stay.
