Multi-platinum producer, prolific hit-maker, and sonic innovator Timbaland will release his third solo album, Timbaland Presents Shock Value II, on November 23rd 2009.

The album is the follow-up to the multi-platinum 2007 album Timbaland Presents Shock Value, which spawned two massive number one hits with Give It To Me (featuring Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake) and The Way I Are (featuring Keri Hilson and D.O.E.) and one of the best-selling singles of the decade with the remix of OneRepublic's multi-platinum blockbuster Apologize.

Timbaland's sonic adventurousness has enabled him to dominate the pop charts for over a decade, and prompted a host of today's most popular artists to queue up for a chance to participate in the Shock Value series. Shock Value II continues to push genre boundaries, with guest appearances from Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Keri Hilson, The Fray, Brandy and new comer Drake.

 "I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a Shock Value II," Timbaland says. "I'm really proud of the caliber of artists on this album and all the work they put into making it a success. I can promise that no one has ever heard Katy Perry, The Fray, or Brandy sound like this before. It's exciting because not only am I giving fans the best of me on each track, I'm giving them a glimpse of their favorite artist in a completely different light. This is an album that can be listened to from start to finish every single time because each song is so unique and the range of artists so diverse. I can't wait for my fans to hear the collaborations."

Over the course of his career, Timbaland has made an indelible imprint on the music scene. With his alchemic production skills, he has carved out career-defining hits for artists such as Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Destiny's Child, Madonna, Fall Out Boy, and Jay-Z among many others. Respect for Timbaland transcends the genres of urban and hip-hop music, with superstars as diverse as Justin Timberlake and avante-singer Björk actively seeking to work with the Virginia Beach native. So prolific a hit-maker has Timbaland proven to be that in the span of a single year - 2006 to 2007 - he produced more than 10 international chart-toppers, including Furtado's "Promiscuous," Timberlake's "Sexy Back," and 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology."

Shock Value II's first single, "Morning After Dark" will be available on iTunes from October 27th. The single features Nelly Furtado and French singer-songwriter SoShy, a new artist on Timbaland's label Mosley Music Group.

Shock Value II is released on Interscope through Polydor Records on November 23nd.
