Pharrell & Timbaland split Madonna's Hard Candy

Originally we heard from Timbaland that he did 10 tracks for the new Madonna album and then recently we heard Tim & Danja got 4 or 5, Hannon 3, and Pharrell a couple. Now Pharrell is saying the 12 track album Hard Candy is actaully split right down the middle; 6 for Pharrell and 6 for the Timbo camp. Pharrell recently talked to Vibe about Madonna's "monster" album and Tim signing Chris Cornell to Mosley Music Group:

****I've reposted N*E*R*D's new single, "Everyone Nose," because after spending some time with Pharrell and the group's third album, N.3.R.D., on Friday a few fascinating topics of conversation came up. Some boilerplate (Pharrell loves "Dey Know" and wants to wrap his minor-key tentacles around Shawty Lo's minimalist purr), some expected (Madonna's forthcoming Hard Candy - a "monster" in in his words - is a 12-track split: six Neptunes-produced songs, six Timbaland-produced) and some damn near baffling (we'll get there).

....He [Pharell] also mentioned that Timbaland has signed Chris Cornell to his Moseley Music Group imprint, a smart move in this post-OneRepublic age. Imagine what Tim could do for the leather-lunged Cornell, who, though aged, has already been dabbling with Michael Jackson covers in his solo material.****

N.E.R.D's 3rd album drops sometimes this spring but hopefully here soon the "Everyone Nose" CD single will drop so we can get a look at the liner notes to see what exactly Timbo contributed to the track. Scratches? Drums? We'll have to wait and see.

Q Magazine also got a 5 track preview of Hard Candy which includes "4 Minutes", "Give It To Me" featuring Pharrell (Neptunes), "Candy Shop" (Neptunes), "Incredible" (Neptunes), and "Beat Goes On" featuring Kanye West. She said she wanted a hip hop album and it looks like she's got one. Thanks to Bigmac for the info

The Timbaland & Pharrell Riddle: "Everyone Nose" (Revisited)

There seemed to be some confusion about this collabortation and what exactly went down so let me break it down for you. If you remember we posted a pic of Tim and Pharrell in the studio cooking up some long over due heat together. Then recently a new N.E.R.D track appeared called "Everyone Nose." At first there was no connection, that was until Pharrell posted this on his Billionaire Boys Club blog:

****You guys might as well hear the mixed version [of "Everyone Nose'], remember that picture of Pharrel & Timbaland in the studio, well if you listen to the 2 versions you should be able to figure out what he was doing!****

Here is "Everyone Nose" before Tim got his hands on it:


and here is "Everyone Nose" after Tim got his hands on it (unmastered):


Hear the difference? He ain't DJ Timmy T for nothin'!

Now for that added special sauce The Chronicles likes to provide, take a listen to this track:

Demphra "At Chu (Estoy Cansada)"


Sample? Interpolation? Boogie you're nuts? You decide...

Tim pays homage to a legend

Timbaland, Kanye West, 9th Wonder, Swizz Beats, Just Blaze, ?uestlove, and Pharrell give props to one of the greatest producers of all time: Pete Rock. It's all for the EPK for his newest album called NY's Finest coming out Feburary 26.
