Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado have reunited, 16 years after their smash hit ‘Give It To Me’, with the latest song ‘Keep Going Up’. The new Timbaland single marks the Grammy-winning producer’s first official solo single in more than eight years. In 2006 and 2007, a resurgent Timbaland produced a staggering run of hits for Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, essentially taking over mainstream pop for a couple years.
Earlier this year Timbaland confirmed that his longtime collaborator Timberlake has finished his next album. And in August, Timbaland paid tribute to his longtime collaborator and rapper Magoo, who died at 50. Magoo was best known for being one half of the Timbaland & Magoo duo, which formed in 1989, and produced a string of hits including one of my favourite ‘Indian Flute’.
