Timbaland Talks & Praises Selena Gomez 👏

When Timbaland says Selena Gomez has the potential to be “BIG,” we believe him. “Young stars, you know like Selena Gomez, she’s gonna be big, I wanna show them and teach them — they’re gonna be bigger than us.” he says in a new interview with MSN. 

 You’ve worked with all the greats. Who’s left?
Just the new artists. The new millennials like Selena Gomez and The Chainsmokers … all the new people that are coming out. That’s who I’d like to work with, the newer generation. 

TIMBALAND: ''There Hasn't Been An Artist Like Aaliyah''

"I just know when we worked together it was magic..that's all memory I need because that's what i need to keep going forward" - TIMBALAND

Timbaland Opens up About His New Album (Interview)

Tim will release his first project in eight years when the follow-up to Shock Value II drops later this year and the super producer is promising to change to face of music again. He’s tightlipped about the project, but says it will be full of new faces and, potentially, one UK superstar. After that, he’s rolling out the long-touted Opera Noir, which he describes as a franchise album. Find out more in our Q&A below.

What attracted you to The Pop Game?
It’s something I always wanted to do. This is my way of just giving back to music. I love it. It’s not about ratings, it’s about the love of music. I really love my kids. I want to get other producers to do the same thing, to help out with generations to come. You know, that’s what we’re here for. I want to see those kids flourish and make great moves because they’re always going to remember the help that I gave them, you know?

Are the challenges facing new artists the same as when you started?
The ’90s was the ’90s. That’s what we had to do. These kids don’t have to do that, but the difference is… that’s what we set up in the ’90s — for this time, for this era. Now, we have a job to do, to guide these kids to be the next future of music and then they have a responsibility, if the world is still here. They will remember what I’ve done and whether some star in ten or 15 years from now, there will be another group of kids doing the same thing and, you know, it goes on and goes on. The ’80s were the ’80s and the ’80s had less technology when it came to music. The ’90s had a little more and as it got to 2000, it started to get more extreme, and then as you see now, music is everywhere.

Are there any potential superstars on the show?
All of them could be stars if they’re on right, you know what I’m saying? They’re learning about themselves. What I’m helping them to do is learn about themselves more than anything, learning about themselves as artists.

Is your new album going to be the same concept at Shock Value?
Yeah, but its going to be a lot of new faces. I’m all about breaking out. I don’t like what I’ve already done. Of course, I have to research things, but I like to reinvent the wheel. So, yes, it’ll be a lot of different artists.

Can you mention anyone in particular?
No. Just wait and see. It will all happen. If you notice, I never talk about who I’m working with or what I’m about to put out. I just like to put it out.

I heard that Zayn’s on the album?

Since you heard, I’ll tell you. Yeah, I worked with Zayn. Just be on the lookout.

Why has there been an eight year gap between albums?
Because you have to live life. You have to prep yourself. You’ve got to prep for right moment and for the right time. Timing is everything. You can’t just put out, just to be putting out. I’ve never been wanting to put out. My goals are my goals. So, this time, when I leave I probably won’t stop. I’ll probably keep going for three years straight… just nonstop.

When I stop… you know that was a goal that I set out, you know? Me and my team, we decided to take a break. This is what I’d like to be. I want to live in the shadows, meaning that I want to put out great music like Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers. I just want to do it in a different way, like how Future put out two albums back to back. It would be a dream to see all Timbaland on iTunes, see every song on that front page… Timbaland, Timbaland, Timbaland, Timbaland. I like to do stuff that’s a challenge.

Are you still producing for other artists or just concentrating on your artist project?
Oh yeah! Yeah! I’m telling you, it’s all going to come… it’s going to be like a whirlwind or like a tsunami. You know when I come, I come. Just like I came in 2007 and in 2013 with [The 20/20 Experience]. So, when I come, I come. We don’t play.

Speaking of that era… are you working on Justin Timberlake’s new album?
You wait and see, buddy. Wait and see. Everything we do, is so top secret, you know. I’m not one to hype stuff up, you know. I just like to put it out. I don’t like to talk about it. you know, I just put it out. But just know that the storm is… let’s just say it’s overcast and it’s right above me. [Laughs] That means keep your ears on.

You’ve worked with all the greats. Who’s left?
Just the new artists. The new millennials like Selena Gomez and The Chainsmokers … all the new people that are coming out. That’s who I’d like to work with, the newer generation.

What do you consider to be your best work?
Nothing really stands out. I just get into it, you know, it’s the beat that I’m mainly interested in… I try to be different each time. That’s it. I don’t have a favorite. Aaliyah will always be the top because that was the start of my career. Of course, that’s like the the start of Timbaland movement.

Her music still sounds as fresh today as when it came out.
Thank you. I’m glad that you like it like that.

Who is making the hottest beats today?
Everybody is doing a good job, if you hear it. Everybody’s putting it out there and letting people be the judge of it. I love everything that going on. You know, there’s some I like better than others and there’s some I don’t like.

Can you talk about your Opera Noir project?
That’s a separate project. That’s going to be the grand finale project.

Is it a concept album?
It’s going to be a franchise album. When I say franchise… people will try to be a part of what I started. People will be like, “I want to do the same thing.”

Danja's Stories Behind His Biggest Hits with Timbaland

“We changed the landscape of pop music,” says Danja, the producer extraordinaire, about the incredible run he went on with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Nelly Furtado in 2006. “It changed the music business and what people felt like they needed to succeed with music. It definitely opened the doors for the Skrillexs, David Guettas, and the Afrojacks you see today.”

Though Danja is an accomplished musician in his own right, he’s best known for teaming up with Timbo and helping take the Virginia producers from a hip-hop/R&B hit-maker, to one of the biggest pop craftsmen of the Aughts. With JT’s new album in stores this week, we got on the phone with the producer to talk about which artists are easy to work with, why artists need to be open-minded, and Timbaland’s massive sound library.

"Put You On The Game" (2005)

Danja: "I had a little set up in the house so I started doing some tracks. Tim worked on the bus while I was working in the studio. He came back in the studio off that bus with that track and it blew everybody's head off in the studio. He came in and said, 'I got something.' I added on the choir, the piano, and stuff like that. The beat was definitely done by him, I was just in there but it was a competitive thing. It was always a competitive thing with us in the studio, that carried through the projects we worked on.

"I don't know where Tim finds his [sounds]. He had stuff like that just sitting. You could make five beats just off the sounds he has. His sound collection and the elements he would find are so crazy and so easy that it's a layup for him, he can just put stuff together.

Nelly Furtado "Promiscuous" (2006)

Danja: "I had a beat playing. Tim walked in and said what came to him. he started doing the hook and added some drums. A lot of stuff we would start together, some he would start on his own and some I would start on my own. Then we'd come together and finalize it.

"The funny thing about 'Promiscuous' is he had that record done before we started on Nelly, though he might have had her in mind for it when we made it. I don't remember if she was 100 percent feeling it or not. It was one of those, 'I like it but we're still getting ideas out.' In the end, that was the last song we completed for the album. It ended up being the biggest song on the album."

Justin Timberlake ft. Timbaland "SexyBack" (2006)

Danja: "For 'SexyBack' We were vibing in the studio. The way those sessions went, we jumped right in. The first record we did was 'What Goes Around Comes Around' and then we hopped into another idea. Me and Timbaland were jamming in the studio and Justin was there. We were recording while we were busting riffs, melodies, and beat patterns.

"There was maybe 45 minutes to two hours of us just jamming and they turned into songs like 'SexyBack,' 'Summer Love,' 'Sexy Ladies,' and another track. We went back, fine-tuned them, and make them songs. Everything we did in those sessions ended up on the album except for one song. Everything else, we made it on the spot and ended up on the project. There was no leftover songs from the FutureSex/LoveSounds sessions except for maybe one."

"The Way I Are" (2007)

Danja: "All those records [with Nelly, Justin, and the Timberland solo stuff] came together in that one year. For that song, I had some sounds and then Tim started playing my keyboard messing with sounds. I had a beat going and he did the [melody]. It was weird because now I'm sampling him [instead of the other way around]. I added the drums and everything around it.

"We both are always developing a new style so it evolved through the album-making process. It's always evolving, it's going to change and turn into something different. We strive to keep switching our styles, that's how we maintain eclectic sounds.

50 Cent ft. Justin Timberlake "Ayo Technology" (2007)

Danja: "Me and Tim were working on another album, we were just in the same place at the same time. 50 reached out to Tim and it just happened. In the midst of everything, all the success and the flood of people coming, 50 Cent was just in the mix."

Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake "4 Minutes"

Danja: "We both spoke to Madonna separately. She reached out to me and I was like, 'Of course I would do it with Tim.' She reached out to Tim as well and circled all the communication and we ended up in London working.

"She was there writing, open minded, not a lot of input track wise. Justin was writing and myself and Tim were doing tracks. It was real easy. The biggest stars are the easiest ones to work with. Some of the artist with no hits or are mild success are the biggest pain in the ass, so it's amazing to work with Madonna.

"She'd crack her little jokes in her dark way. She had a dark sense of humor and you got to be witty to keep up. She didn't say anything specific but you wouldn't know if she was cracking a joke. You can't take her serious or be sensitive because she's probably kidding."

"Give It To Me" ft. Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake 

Danja: "Tim had that beat and he was like, 'Yo man, put something on top of this.' I start adding all the different chords and other stuff and he was loving it. Nelly was in there writing, Justin came in way later and he did his verse. If you think about it, it felt like 'Promiscuous.'

"[When we had a series of hits] it was one of those surreal moments. I didn't realize what was going on until later. I'm such a studio rat and not caught up in the industry and the hype. So in the midst of all that, I did something for Britney. I stayed busy."

How He Teamed Up With Timbaland

Danja: "One of the things he used to tell me was, 'All you need is sounds. What you're doing is there but you just need a sound library.' He just started telling me about his massive sound library he had.

"He has sounds, little elements and samples that go back over his whole career. By the time I met him, he was already collecting sounds for probably 15 years. At the time we met, he was like, 'All this is yours once we get in.' I didn't want to sound like Tim.

"Of course, having access to his sound library was tempting. But I wanted to develop my own sound, my own style, and my own musical identity. That's why what we created worked because I still had my own take musically on what I wanted to do along with what he did.

"His sound library is extensive. It's several terabytes of information. Several is probably cutting it short. [Laughs.] I can't even tell you how much he has. [Laughs.] I know that since then it's gotten bigger. So I can't even get into how big it can possibly be now. But it's massive.

"[Having your own sound is the template] for any producer. Dr. Dre, Pharrell, Swizz, they all have a signature sound and style. What I try to do is not give people a signature style. I definitely work on my sonic style, but I like to be versatile. That's why I've worked with a variety of artists from hip-hop to pop to rock. I try not to be identifiable."

Timbaland, DJ Mustard, Mike Will Made-It, And Wondagurl At ComplexCon

Timbaland & DJ Mustard

The art of producing has developed into a beast of its own over the years, to the point that producers have become just as popular as rappers. Mike Will Made-It ,DJ Mustard, Timbaland, and Wondagurl all came together under one roof at ComplexCon for the "Wax on It" panel hosted by Young Guru to share some stories behind their career paths.

One of the more important topics brought up during the panel was the difference between a beatmaker and a producer. Timbaland hit the nail on the head with his response: "A producer is somebody who sees the whole vision, it's just that simple." He touched on the process behind working on "Big Pimpin'" with Jay Z and noted that Jay gave him the proper time and space to execute his vision. "He allowed me to share my greatness with him."

Timbaland also talked about why producers these days are more vital than the generation he came up in, and added, "Music is the only thing that's not racist."

As the youngest producer on the panel, Wondagurl was asked about where she finds inspiration for producing right now. She said it comes from traveling and listening to other genres outside of hip-hop, like vaporwave.
