As a guy who struggled through 150 pages of the first volume of Stephanie Meyer’s popular vampire-romance saga in a valiant attempt to bond with my teenage sister, I can state with certainty that Twilight is one cultural phenomenon I will never, ever, ever understand. Superproducer Timbaland, on the other hand, apparently loves the novel/movie/marketing juggernaut so much that he’s used it as inspiration for the lead single off his forthcoming Shock Value 2 LP. Different strokes, I guess. Dreamy vampires aside, though, Morning After Dark has a lot going for it. As you’d expect, Timbo works magic behind the boards, serving up a percussion-driven groove that builds to an explosively catchy, synth-drenched chorus as he (with a little – OK, a lot of Auto-Tune help) and Mosely Music singer So Shy spit flirtatious game back and forth. If you like what you’re hearing, you can expect more dancefloor-scorching beats and blazing-hot guest features on Nov. 24, when Timbo’s third solo album hits online retailers and record stores everywhere.

Too much of a resemblance production-wise to Jamie Foxx's "I Don't Need It" (also produced by Timbo), so I'm taking a little bit of creativity points away from him there. I like how he flipped it a bit though and ended up making a hot record. The beat is still club pulsing and this will definitely be a hit since mainstream never heard the Foxx version. Along with the song that leaked with Drake, I'm feeling the new material for Shock Value 2.

I have never read or watched "Twilight", so the inspiration for this song isn't obvious for me... But from what I hear, this song is a banger, typical Timbaland.

Big fan of anything that Timbo gears toward the club. He has seen the most success in that arena and I don't think "Morning After Dark" will have hard time continuing that success.

Big Timbo fan but this is sub par by his standards. That being said, can't wait to hear more from Mosley.

nice introduction to shock value 2 but since there are lack of big name features on the single i wonder how the fanbase is going to accept. i like the concept and the flow of the lyrics. the production is nice. i was thinking that Tim was gonna introduce something new as far as the sound of music. usually when he drops something new he has a new creative sound. we shall see when nov 24th comes

Timbo continues to sound like Timbo. I know everyone has a signature sound but really now. Timbo is a hellava producer and will make you move but I would like to hear something different. Please.

cb126405 was totally right with the "I Don't Need It" vibe. I love that song by Jaime Foxx, but I also really like this song. It gets pretty different towards the end.

Looking forward to the album, but I hope a lot of the songs are better than this. Wasn't too impressed with that song with Drake.

GOD, I hate Twilight. Someone needs to kill it. Kill it with fire. Some kind of napalm would work wonders.

(Well, at least there's plenty fire to go around on this track..!)
