Scream

The hits from "Shock Value", the star-studded Timbaland solo album, keep on coming ; even when the ubiquitous producer hasn't stop spawning hits for other artists in the meantime (new tracks by Madonna; T-Pain and new protégée Izza Kizza are soon to invade the airwaves) and the album had a tepid critical reception. Keri Hilson, who already guessed in Timbo's worldwide hit "The Way I Are", joins forces with ex-Pussycat doll Nicole Scherzinger, who hasn't managed to take her solo career to good port yet, in this high-octane vocal duet, crowned by a rocky power chorus. On a first listening, "Scream" doesn't sound as capable to top the charts as its predecessors, but will certainly keep album and artist in the charts for a few more months.  shazam
