Brandy and Timbaland would later work together again in 2008 for her Human album. Cuts including “Drum Life” did not make the final tracklist. They would work together on tracks between 2009 and 2011. These tracks contained both solos and features. He also helped produce music under Brandy’s alter ego Bran’Nu.

listen to Skye’s new single from the album “Twisted Fantasy,” featuring Rema.
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.
“Ice Box” is exactly what 2006 R&B music should be, and for that it is the single–greatest breakup song of the past 15 years. For all the growing pains hip–hop was going through in the mid–2000s, the R&B artists of the time were excelling like no other when given minimalist beats to pine and sing on.
Listeners get glimpses at his attempts to piece things together, as leading up to the chorus Omarion sings, “Girl I really wanna work this out, cause I'm tired of fighting/And I really hope you still want me the way I want you/I said I really wanna work this out, damn girl I'm trying,” but as often happens in this situation, the last–ditch attempts to repair a broken relationship prove to be futile.
While Omarion struggles to excel lyrically, his true achievement in “Ice Box” is his tone and technical skill, as delivers a painful yet defiant vocal performance about the end of his relationship. The beat is mostly unremarkable and uniform throughout the verse, as it sounds mostly like any generic R&B breakup song.
Yet, as soon as Omarion ramps up to the chorus, the tone of the song shifts dramatically from dismissal to pain, reflecting the realities of processing a breakup itself. The chorus of “I got this ice box where my heart used to be/icebox where my heart used to be,” immediately followed by Timbaland’s “I’m so cold, I’m so cold, I’m so cold,” achieves exactly the kind of passionless and desolate sound that Omarion attempts to convey through his lyrics. “Ice Box” is a masterfully produced track by Timbaland, and Omarion’s vocal performance was the ideal complement to complete the standoffish tone of the track. By skillfully wavering between grief and aloofness, pain and detachment, but most of all, uncertainty, Omarion's tone and vocal performance epitomizes the second–guessing and confusing nature of a recent breakup.

However, yet another factor enhancing the character of "Ice Box's" music video is the fact that this sultry woman is actually Solange. Ten years prior to her excellent album A Seat at the Table, the R&B artist herself performed as the woman towards which Omarion had gone so cold. Complete with a sudden journey into the woods, more heavily–choreographed dancing, and Timbaland sitting in the back of an all–white Rolls Royce, this music video is the epitome of mid–2000s R&B and easily gives “Ice Box” the crown for the best breakup song of the past 15 years
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 was gearing up to hit the road for the “Bare With Me Tour” until this global pandemic happened. Space & Time Sessions Justine Skye and super producer Timbaland link up to create the first IG EP, each week Timbaland sends Skye a beat and she cuts her first ideas straight to it sharing it with the fans. Each song will be fully finished and apart of an EP the two are doing. Enjoy!
A teenager from South Louisville is making major moves in the music industry. MarzzOfficiall is a singer and songwriter who recently recorded a new rhythm and blues song with Timbaland.
“When I’m in the studio, Marzz comes alive,” MarzzOfficial said. “I go into beast mode. That's where I’m at my state. I feel like can’t nobody take that away from me. It’s really where I find myself.”
The duo has only been working together for a few months, but they have been busy.
They shared a sneak peek at the artist’s soon-to-be-released song “So Frequently.” It features Timbaland.
“Timbaland wants to work with me, bro? Little old me? I had to come to state where it's like, this is destiny,” she said, regarding her reaction. “God works in mysterious ways. He allowed that to come in place because he knew what both of us were capable of.”
LYRICS:
Your hands on the steering wheel, and it's steering me wrong
Can't you feel me here, you know you need to come home
You keep looking at me, but your keeping me on
Perfect fit but I'm starting to slip, and I hope my grip is strong enough because
You love me, you know it, don't do this, don't blow it.
Can't you see my life is on your hand
you got me wrapped around your finger
If I'm your woman then be a man
Please don't take me off
Your gonna lose my love
Now I'm feeling outta place, how'd I end up in your pocket
I must have been in the way, of you keeping your promise.
Shes running her hand across your chest, and touching the t-shirt that I brought.
I know she feels me close to your heart, and you just play it off.
You know that you love me
You love me, you know it, don't do this, don't blow it.
Can't you see my life is on your hand, you got me wrapped around your finger.
If I'm your woman then be a man, please don't take me off, your gonna lose my love.
Please don't make the biggest mistake of your life
If you care for me then how come our loves on the line.
So don't let five minutes undo your commitment
You made to me when you said I do. I do
Can't you see my life is on your hand, you got me wrapped around your finger.
If I'm your woman then be a man, please don't take me off, your gonna lose my love
Can't you see my life is on your hand, you got me wrapped around your finger.
If I'm your woman then be a man, please don't take me off, your gonna lose my love
Can't you see my life is on your hand, you got me wrapped around your finger.
If I'm your woman then be a man, please don't take me off, your gonna lose my love
