Timbaland is the executive music producer of the Apple TV+ Original series BE@RBRICK. Set in a town where everyone’s roles are predetermined, the series loaded with original pop music follows an aspiring singer-songwriter and her bandmates as they break free to pursue their dreams—and inspire others to do the same. Inspiration is what drives Timbaland’s playlist as well. “This playlist is a journey through the sounds that have shaped my career and the culture at large,” he tells Apple Music. “It’s a blend of past legends, new trailblazers, and some of my own tracks that hold a special place in my heart. I wanted to curate a collection that reflects the show’s spirit of creativity and innovation.” Read about some of his selections below—and stream all episodes of BE@RBRICK, only on Apple TV+. Nelly Furtado, “Say It Right” “[It] had to be on the playlist. That song is pure innovation—just like BE@RBRICK. When we made it, we weren’t thinking about trends; we were thinking about feeling. That same energy is what BE@RBRICK is all about—something timeless, something that hits different no matter when you experience it.” Justin Timberlake, “Cry Me a River” “This track marked a pivotal moment in both our careers, blending heartfelt emotion with cutting-edge production. It’s a reminder of how powerful music and collaboration can be when it tells a story we all can feel.” Timbaland, “The Way I Are” “It’s all about moving forward. That track was a whole shift in sound, blending electronic, hip-hop, and R&B in a way nobody expected. That’s exactly what BE@RBRICK does—it takes something classic and flips it into the future. This song, this playlist, this whole movement—it’s about evolution.”
