New Music: Timbaland - Break Ya Back
Electro-pop singer Dev is a featured guest in Timbaland's allegedly new single "Break Ya Back", which premiered on the famed producer's hometown radio station Z104 in Norfolk, Virginia on Friday (March 16th) - The bass-heavy track will most likely serve as the second single, and follow-up to the Pitbull-assisted 'Pass at Me', from Timbaland's hotly-anticipated "Shock Value III" album, in stores later in 2012.
Well, oh well, what do we have here?...Although my respect for Timb' for being of the greatest hip-hop and R&B producers of the last two decades is still intact, I think we have to be honest and say he's kind of losing his touch. His latest efforts have been really disappointing and although this new track with Dev, "Break Ya Back", ain't bad at all, it's not what we - long time stans of Timbaland's music - would've expected as his new official single. "Break Ya Back" is grungy, '90s-feeling, it has such an eerie but playful vibe, it's semi-enjoyable but as a whole, it's not really single material. Album filler yes. Timbo should waste no more time, and ring Nelly Furtado to do a new banger collaboration. That's what we all want.
