Timbaland - Morning After Dark
Artist: Timbaland
Producer: Timbaland
Album: Shock Value 2
Label: Mosley/Blackground/Interscope
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.

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..!) |
