Justine Skye - '‘Space & Time’' (ALBUM)

Justine Skye and Timbaland have been steadily cooking up their project Space and Time for quite a while, and today (June 25) the project finally makes its long-awaited debut. Leading up to the release she kept us intrigued with singles like “Intruded,” and following that she unleashed another brand new cut for us to enjoy. The entire album boasts production from the legendary Timbaland. Skye made sure to give us a peek into what the creation process was like as she pairs the release with the official documentary for fans to tune into. “We made this album in the middle of such a crazy moment in history and we’re finally here, almost a year later,” she writes. “This whole process is something I will remember for the rest of my life and I wanted to share that with you guys. I’ll never get these moments back and I’m so grateful for everyone who’s been apart of this journey.”

Be sure to press play on Justine Skye’s brand new project Space and Time down below.

This album is the follow up to Justine’s last project “Bare With Me”.Justin Timberlake has also been in the studio over the last few weeks working on new music. He’s been collaborating with Timbaland, Scott Storch and Danja.

Justine Skye On Working (Space & Time) New Album

After two albums that delved deeply into dense languages of love, Skye is shedding the past and manifesting a new direction. The world will see the result of that when she releases her third studio album, Space & Time, that'll be entirely produced by Timbaland. Their relationship kicked off with a beat sent via text and, before they knew it, they were in the midst of creating something special.

"I learned a lot from him during that time and it was such an experience to be getting all these musical and personal gems from such a legend," Skye says. "The synergy was super natural."

Below, PAPER goes behind the scenes of Skye's "Intruded" video with Timbaland, out now.

How did "Intruded" come about with Timbaland?

I've always wanted to work with him. When I expressed that to my team, E&E Creative, they were already on it. They'd worked with Timbaland before and already started the conversation. When the pandemic hit, my spring tour was canceled so I was looking for other ways to put out content and express myself.

I did a side-by-side cover video with my friend on Instagram and Tim reached out via DM when he saw it. He told me he wanted to do a video, too, and I was shook. He sent over a beat to me, which I couldn't believe that The Timbaland just casually FaceTimed and texted me a beat. I immediately started writing to it and, boom, "Intruded" was born.

What was it like working with him?

I was so nervous the first day we got in because it was the first time that we had met in person. We'd been talking to each other for a couple months via FaceTime, doing these Space & Time Sessions, but now it was all too real. After the first 30 minutes or so, I started to chill out. We got straight to work and we had no time to waste. I learned a lot from him during that time, and it was such an experience to be getting all these musical and personal gems from such a legend. The synergy was super natural.

What was the creative process for the music video?

The creative process was super personal and hands-on. My creative team pulled together some references from an early 2000s Steven Meisel shoot and we expanded from that point. They had a concept about technology, and the fact that Timbaland and I had been creating via FaceTime before ever meeting in person.

We then talked about the idea of forming connections through FaceTime, but how often you're actually looking at yourself instead of the person on the call. It became an idea around how technology can make you self-consumed and obsessed. We had found this sick director, Nina Holmgren, who had created a short film we absolutely loved, so we knew she'd be able to bring the vision to life. And she absolutely killed it.

What else can we expect from your forthcoming album with Timbaland?

Straight heat! I've never been more proud of something in my entire life. We've worked so hard on this project and it shows. It's the perfect amount of music and vibe for you to want to run it back over and over.

It's a new year for you with a new era. What are you looking to accomplish in 2021?

My goal is to bust through all of the doors that I always walked by, but never felt the confidence to kick down. I stand so strong behind this body of work and what's to come after. I know these doors will be wide open for the next project.

What would you call this new chapter in your career?

"She's Arrived." I open the album with an interlude where I sing, "Where have you been, how did you get in," and that's my subconscious talking to me and addressing the fact that I'm finally present.

Justine Skye & Timbaland - Intruded

 Justine Skye has linked up with legendary producer Timbaland for the new song “Intruded”. The song interpolates the Ginuwine classic “So Anxious” which was also produced by Timbaland. The new single is the first of many that the two worked on together as Justine will be releasing her Timbo produced “Time And Space’ album later this year.

We’re looking forward to see what she brings to the table with this new Timbaland produced album.

Justine Skye and Timbaland: SPACE & TIME SESSION 10

The quarantine and shelter in place order has forced us all to pivot at a moment’s notice. Like many artists, R&B songstress Justine Skye decided to spread healing through music by doing Quarantine Jam Sessions on Instagram & YouTube. The first one posted was a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”, which has since gone viral. That viral video led to legendary super-producer, Timbaland reaching out to do a jam session with Justine, which she posted last night! After receiving the beat from Timbaland

Timbaland and Justine Skye (Interview)

Justine Skye is a classic Virgo. Even in the midst of a pandemic, and on the heels of her debut independent album, Bare With Me, she’s still doing work. The 24-year-old R&B singer’s industry domination has been a long time coming, Well, sort of. She’s been getting a little help (and a lot of advice) from Timbaland, the legendary producer In the midst of quarantine, the pair has begun a heaven-sent creative collaboration, pioneering the form of the Instagram EP with their socially-distanced Space & Time Sessions—a preview of what’s to come on their forthcoming EP. While the two have never met face to face, their chemistry is nothing short of cosmic. After all, Tim is a Pisces—creative, calm, and effortlessly cool. “When I called you, it was really just like god sent a touch,” he tells Skye over the phone on a balmy June afternoon.

JUSTINE SKYE: How are you feeling today?

TIMBALAND: Today I feel good. Just waking up everyday is a blessing. Sometimes you wake up like, “Damn, it’s still quarantine.” But at least we have our health and our minds and our spirit.

SKYE: And how have you been holding up with what’s going on in the world, because I know me and you talk a lot about that and we’ve shared our perspectives. I guess things are not lightening up, but we’re starting to see some change in the world. 

TIMBALAND: I think that it’s crazy we’re in a pandemic and a systemic race war. It’s a lot going on. But at the same time I just feel like the world was going to explode sooner or later. And I feel like with us being locked down, it made everybody pay attention to a lot of things that were getting swept under the rug. So it has a silver lining. I think now we’re taking responsibility for the bad in the world that we’ve been overlooking because we live our lives day to day, always on the go. But sometimes being on the go is not the move. Sometimes we need to sit back and reflect on what’s really the problems of the world. So I believe this was actually a wake-up call.

SKYE: Exactly.

TIMBALAND: It’s good to see that people are paying attention to all of the things that we were kind of blinded to before, like the racist statues that have been put on a pedestal in all of these communities around this country. They shouldn’t have been there in the first place because they represented something that was so awful in our country and oppressed our people. And I’m glad to see that. I call you Generation Z. I always go to you because I feel like y’all generation is the leader of this world going forward. I’m glad that y’all generation are really pointing out things and taking steps forward to remove these things so we can create the new world and make it about just loving one another.

SKYE: Throughout this whole pandemic, one of the things that I can say I’ve been grateful for has been the time that I’ve gotten to think about and focus on my craft as an artist, as a musician, as a writer. And one of the things that has been most exciting has been working with you on these Space and Time sessions. Basically it started with you reaching out to me, which was super dope and a highlight of my career.

TIMBALAND: When I called you, it was like god sent a touch when I was picking up the phone. As soon as I heard your tone, it was just like, “Let’s do this.” And during quarantine it felt like it was the perfect time. I’m thankful that I was a blessing for you, but you’re a blessing for me because I get to show the world, with patience and timing, how you build an artist. It’s not just building a song; we’re building an artist. I haven’t met you face to face, but I feel like when you walk in here I will know you because the chemistry is so real through technology. In person, it’s just going to go to the next level. We have this technology, we can create the new wave of letting the people inside the recording process on how it’s done through what we have. The power of that is very huge.

SKYE: If you would have told 14-year old Jus that Timbaland would be saying these things to me right now, she would have never, ever believed you. Obviously I tell you this literally all the time, but I’m just super, super appreciative of you for being patient and working with me. I’ve learned so much throughout this process and we haven’t even met yet. But when I send you something we’ve worked on, I still get nervous. But the chemistry is so natural. 

TIMBALAND: When something is natural and it feels good, we just got to stick to it. We got to believe. The people are going to come as long as we believe. It’s almost like a cleanse for me. I feel like a lot of people are paying attention, and that’s what music does. If it’s great, it will reach who it needs to. It will touch who needs to be touched.

SKYE: I can’t wait for us to actually get into the room together and create this magic and these visuals as well, because just visually I’ve looked up to artists like you and Missy, and Pharrell and JT and Aaliyah my whole life. And so being able to just get a droplet of what you guys created is just a dream of mine.

TIMBALAND: We got to give back.

SKYE: Being signed to two labels, and now that I’m independent, I’ve just been trying to figure out what I was going to do as an artist. I just dropped my album, Bare With Me. It’s been so dope just seeing the reaction it’s getting, showing people a different side of me that’s more alternative—adding that kind of European, alternative aspect to R&B, which is just something that we’re perfecting over here on this side. So many people have been asking about when Space and Time” is coming. So we’ve got to give the people what they want, Tim.

TIMBALAND: I think we’re dropping one today. So after we drop one more, we just need to lock it down, just come down and finish those. I was thinking about it. Maybe it should be like Space and Time EP, Volume One. I think we could probably do two volumes, maybe three volumes, just because all of this will be a part of your story as you grow. These are creating a new way of mixtapes without calling them mixtapes. 

SKYE: Exactly.

TIMBALAND: You already hang with the supermodels now, and they all love you. So you got to treat it like if it was a perfume or a collection, like it’s some clothes. Your music has to be all as one, because I see you doing fashion. So let’s treat this package of music the same way. Don’t just always say, “Oh, my mixtape.” No, Space and Time, Volume One. You can see the girls and be like, “Girl, you got that set, that Space and Time whole bundle? You got that Volume One, that Volume Two, that Volume Three?” And then the next one, it’d be the same way, but we’ll name it different. Treat it like if it’s part of your brand going forward with your merch, because you that’s how I see you. I see you as something global. 

SKYE: Thank you. I‘ve been sitting here going over the mood boarding of what we see for the project visually. I’ve been super inspired. We’ve been watching movies. We’ve been surfing the internet, looking at dope pages on Instagram, just pulling inspiration from so many different places. It’s going to be sick, trust. I can’t wait to share with you.

TIMBALAND: I know it’s going to be dope because I believe in you. I’m just glad to be a part of it. I guess it’s very rare that I believe in something, but with you I believe in it. I’m just grooming you for the big-time.

SKYE: Wait, I have one personal question for you. I always ask this question to people, but I never asked you. What’s your Zodiac sign?

TIMBALAND: I’m a Pisces.

SKYE: No way. I don’t know much about Pisces, but recently I’ve been learning a lot about them. Obviously, you’re super cool and chill and passionate about your craft. I’m a Virgo.

TIMBALAND: So you got to be on point.

SKYE: Exactly. We’re perfectionists, in our own way. I’ve met some messy Virgos, and I’m just like, “How?” But their mess is perfect for them because they still know where everything is in this mess. 

TIMBALAND: For real? Wow. Swizz [Beatz] is a Virgo too.

SKYE: Oh, for real? Virgo men and Virgo women are so different, but similar at the same time.

TIMBALAND: For real?

SKYE: Yeah. One of my best friends who’s a guy is a Virgo, and he’s a little cuckoo. You do give me great guy advice sometimes. The other day we were on the phone, and I think we were talking about something and you were like, “Oh, my bad. You’re right.” And then you were like, “See Jus, that’s the type of man you want in life. Someone that’s not afraid to apologize.” And I was like, “Man, look at that. Look at this advice I’m getting from Timbaland.”

TIMBALAND: It’s the truth. History repeats itself. I know you got to live your life, but if I can lend some advice, that would be the advice to always keep in your back pocket. You’re like, “Tim told me.”

SKYE: I’m sure you’ve seen a few things in life. I’m still learning. I’m only 24, but I feel like we as artists grow fast because our lives are very fast-paced and spontaneous. And so, to get that advice from you was sick.

TIMBALAND: I’m just being the uncle. We’re in 2020, about to be 2021. What was the past cannot be the future. We’re tearing down monuments that were there in the past, but now we’re getting rid of them for the future. So I try to give a little bit of the past, and you take it for the future.

SKYE: Yeah. A lot of what I am writing about is from personal experience. So whether it’s a heartbreak or just a flirt with a guy or whatever’s on my mind when it comes to relationships, it’s dope to have these conversations with you because then it inspires me as well as to which melody I should say what I’m trying to say in. It’s real art happening over here. Real life, real time, real stories.

TIMBALAND: That is so dope.

SKYE: I feel like we covered a lot. What do you think? 

TIMBALAND: See, me and you think alike. We know when to draw the line.
