Another visit to the archives today, with another one of my favourite videos of all time. Today, the video is Get Ur Freak On, by Missy Elliot, ably assisted as always by Midas himself, Timbaland, who manages to get name-checked twice.
Missy Elliot has made some amazing videos in her career, with One Minute Man, and […]
Yesterday I reviewed Flo Rida featuring Timbaland with Elevator, and the main thrust of my post was how it showed jealousy on Timbaland’s part for not being involved with this song, Umbrella by Rihanna and featuring Jay Z.
It was only at that point that I realised the song, which let’s face it was absolutely everywhere […]
I get the distinct feeling from this song, Elevator by Flo Rida featuring Timbaland, that Timbaland is pissed that he didn’t get to play any part in the release of last year’s biggest song, Umbrella by Rihanna (pictured below).
As soon as I heard Timbaland’s part in the song, his repeating of “Ella, Elevator”, I straight […]
I’m a massive fan of Kanye West, and of Coldplay, so this single featuring them both (well, Chris Martin rather than Coldplay) is like manna from Heaven for me.
You can tell a musical genius a mile off, as unlike just your average Pop singer, they exude something extra, some hidden quality control which means their […]
One Republic are gradually getting worse. From the high point of their career, when Timbaland got involved and produced Apologize, through the okay but not great Stop and Stare to this pile of old duff.
That’s a bit harsh I know, but it’s terrible to see a band which promised so much with their first release […]
Do you want to know how to guarantee having a successful record? Take an ageing but still pretty hot female pop star, a young guy who every woman wants to have sex with, and a producer who seems to have a secret formula for making hits… almost every time.
Stick them in a mixing bowl, add […]
This song is one of those that leaves me with a feeling of why did they bother? It never gets going, just repeating the same words from beginning to end.
The only thing that almost saves it is the appearance of Luciana at the end, but she’s not in it nearly enough to make up for […]

Oh great I thought, Britney Spears has released another episode in the ’she’s going mad, and her singles are getting progressively worse’ soap opera that become her life.
But wait, what’s that coming over the hill? Is it a monster? No, she’s grown her hair back now, but it is a decent […]
Timbaland is normally THE man, he can lay his hands on any musical artist and transform what talent they already have in to gold. Unfortunately, I think I’ve just heard his first failure, as this song is a steaming pile of horse crap.
It’s got the trademark Timbaland bassline style, and all the ingredients are there, […]
How do you follow up a massive hit when this time you don’t have Timbaland’s seemingly magic hands at the mixing desk? Just put out more of the same… the work is already done.
That’s a bit unfair, but this song does feel a bit slow and plodding after One Republic’s hit Apologize. There’s just less […]
