So says Matt Pokora in a recent interview he did though he might have let the cat out of the bag. The interview is entirely in french and when "translated" to english via Goole you get a very bad and hard to read interview. Thankfully a friend of mine from France was able to give us the highlights:
-Matt Pokora did his project on his own, booking studio sessions, etc.
-Tim's beats for his album are NOT left overs. Tim played demos and Pokora told him which ones he liked.
-Madonna's album is "wicked". Pokora thought the beats were for him and was upset they weren't.
-He's not Justin Timberlake Part II, though they're both blued eyed, blond, white guys from a boyband who went solo and worked with Tim. He is NOT a JT fan. If he wanted to be JT, he wouldn't have all the tatoos.
-Tim's crew told him they were working on Michael Jackson's album.
-He met Pharrell 3 weeks ago and wants to work him in the future.

So MJ and Timbo, what do you think that will sound like?

Timbaland+MJ=Disaster. Tim is too weak for Michael.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Michael needs to do Michael. I actually think that he'd do a better job with The Neptunes.
ReplyDeletemaybe an april fool ????
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting on my Neptunes/Michael collabo, I wish Michael would have recorded "Like I Love You", "U Don't Have To Call" and also randomly Ne-Yo's "Crazy" those would have been my modern-MJ classics by now!
ReplyDeleteTimbo couldn't bring enough heat for Michael imo, hey but prove me wrong, I would love to hear the results regardless! Hell let's just hear a new album from Michael already but let's keep Akon and T-Pain away, agreed?
I think Danja with Jackson would be very interesting.
ReplyDeletebut let's keep Akon and T-Pain away, agreed?
ReplyDeleteFully Agree!!
yup, please no T-Pain. Akon gets a pass
ReplyDeleteLets work on fixing the spelling and grammar mistakes in the post so I can actually form an opinion on this April fools nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see it happen
ReplyDeleteThe Neptunes are better for Mike. Timbaland, i used to be a big big fan, now that he has gotten bigger and bigger he is actually getting worse and worse. All the songs has a Timbaland feel to it, I mean, thats okey but not when all the songs has the same Timbaland feel. Its getting boring and Michael Jackson is in such a insecure place right now, that when Timbo presents something Mike is still gonna buy it because he thinks its hot when its probably gonna suck. I mean his last album sucked because he let the "Timbaland" (Rodney 'Darchild' Jerkins) of the late 90's and early 00's produce the thing. It later came out that Rodney Jerkins was to afraid to tell Mike whats bad and good. Now its the different way around.
ReplyDeleteThats just my thought, I can be completely wrong, which I hope I am.
im eager to see if a Tim/Mj collabo goes well, to me Neptunes has that MJ feel , with their chord melodies, bridges, and string symphonies is the Neptunes niche
ReplyDeletei think Timbo sounds is too big for MJ..he shuld follow Janet's discipline style..

i dont think tim would work wit mj. PLUS it dosent say that tim is working with him exactly. It says "Tim's crew told [Matt Pokora] THEY were working on Michael Jackson's album". It says TIMS CREW. Not exactly TIM.
ReplyDeleteI believe Tims Crew, and the Neptune's should Work on His Album If it were too come to Pass. I know we were saying the same about Madonnas Album!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTimbaland is way too weak for an icon like Michael Jackson.
ReplyDeleteBTW U can't compare Madonna with MJ because it's typical for Madonna to change her style everytime a new album is coming out.
I prefer the Neptunes and Rodney Jerkins
good news :-)
ReplyDeletejesus couldnt bring back mj's career so i doubt timbo can...plus his face and nose is falling the hell off...timbo cant help that lol ohh yeah and the lil thing called molestation...this is a freak show in the makin if this happens.. they gonna hide his face like last album with hats low so you cant see how mangled my mans face is..this a career suicide 4real ...this beats danja workin with mariah all day..how can you sing with no fuckin nose lol they better bring out the special effects for this master piece... easy!!!!!!!!!!
