Timbaland continues to show that he is real producer, by collaborating with other artists besides hip hop performers. The hit producer has signed on to executive produce rock veteran Chris Cornell’s new upcoming album. Already being a frontman for bands like Soundgarden and Audioslave, Chris Cornell is looking to explore his soulful side, and Timbo is ready to help. The first track from the two artists “Long Gone” is featured on Cornell’s MySpace page while the second “Ground Zero” will hit on September 9th. Timbo will join Chris on two tracks for the new album, “Scream,” which will hit stores on October 14th on Cornell and Timbo’s label, Interscope.
In related news, Timbaland recently helped out Keri Hilson on a new song. The track, called “Return The Favor."
In my opinion, I like the two tracks Timbo worked with Chris on. I truly applaud musicians who aren't afraid to try something new. I'm sure all the hardcore fans will balk at this transition and call Chris a sellout. I say fuck 'em. They're not for change (which is not a bad thing) and the moment you sell a single cd, you're a sellout.
