Timbaland will follow his monster 2006 collaboration with Justin Timberlake on FutureSex/LoveSounds with an album under his own name, his first since Under Construction II with Magoo in 2003, according to Billboard.com. Timbaland has a whole new batch of collaborators for the album, which is titled Shock Value and due out March 27 on Mosley Music Group/Blackground/Interscope.

Those involved include Timberlake, Jay-Z, Nelly Furtado, M.I.A., Elton John, Snoop Dogg, Fall Out Boy, the Hives, She Wants Revenge, and Mosley Music Group signee Keri Hilson. Its first single-- "Give It to Me" (featuring Timberlake and Nelly Furtado)-- will premiere this week.

Timbaland protégé Nate Hills (aka Danja Handz) told Billboard that Shock Value is "sequenced like a movie," with Timbaland using his ridonkulous guest list to "venture into the alternative world and the real pop world. He has so many different sounds, from hip hop to pop to rock on this album. And he pulls every single one of them off perfectly."

Timbaland is currently on tour with Justin Timberlake, and-- according to Billboard.com-- "debuting snippets from Shock Value during his mini-set each night."
