Timbaland Talks ‘Opera Noir’ Album: “It’s Like ‘The Revenant'

Timbaland is all about the future of sound. His new mixtape King Stays King puts him front and center with future-facing artists such as Young Thug, Migos, Rich Homie Quan, Tink and others. But the beat king also revealed a new movie/music project that is inspired by his life of sound crafting.

“It’s kinda like what would the world be if slavery never ended,” Timb attempted to explain the movie plot, “Me being the innovator of sound, I’m from the South and I’m free. I can’t tell you about the whole story. My name is Set and my partner’s name is Man-Man… It’s kinda like that movie that just came out called The Revenant. It’s like the evolution of Timbaland and like the gift of music and what it can make you do.”

As far as Opera Noir, this mysterious album/movie, Timb says he will take his time to make sure it’s right: “That to me is my Thriller. I will not rush into that.”

While the description of his movie project seems a bit hard to pin down, he did give a brief insight into the new album, Textbook Timbo, which he said is “back to the basics of me renaming and showing you…don’t ever think I fell off.”

But Timbaland’s big idea is his Sub Pack invention that straps onto the user’s back and vibrates the body as the music plays.

“Everybody got headphones,” he said. “I want to be the first innovator on something that will revolutionize the world. So what I created was how you listen to music. How you go to the studio and hear music, I go to your office with this on and you gonna think you’re in the studio. You’re gonna feel like you’re back in the day with the system in your car when you put all the 15 subs in there.”

Timbaland Announces “King Stays King” Mixtape

Timbaland has announced that he will be releasing his highly-anticipated ''King Stays King'' mixtape. Arriving on Christmas Day, the 16-track free project will feature new records from Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, Blaze, and Mila J. Also included will be an exclusive unreleased track from the late Aaliyah.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been able to give the world some new music,” says Timbaland in a press release. “I’ve spent a lot of time working on this project and I am just looking forward to giving my fans some dope sounds to close out the year.”

''KING STAYS KING'' is a 16 track mixtape that captures the classic “Timbaland” sound with the assistance of new acts who have developed their own signature musical style in 2015. TIMBALAND takes the lead on the entire project’s production. One of the mixtape’s stand out tracks, “Get No Betta” features R&B’s breakout star and Motown signee, Mila J. Mila and TIMBALAND’s chemistry on the track is undeniable and both artists’ styles beautifully blend together. The more unexpected collaborations on the mixtape come from hip-hop’s most interesting and genre bending artists, Young Thug, Blaze, and Rich Homie Quan. The record, “Didn’t Do It” with Young Thug features his trademark hip-hop crooning over brilliant beats from TIMBALAND. The song, “Servin” featuring Blaze, also a single to KING STAYS KING, is one of the hottest tracks on the project, sure to be a fan favorite. To some fans, the most exciting news about KING STAYS KING is that it will feature an unheard track from the late singer, Aaliyah. Through out the entire mixtape, each unforeseen collaboration makes for an extremely cohesive project.
