Shock Value II is the third studio album by American producer, singer and songwriter Timbaland, released on December 8, 2009, via Blackground Records. The album was follow up to his second album, Shock Value, which was released two years prior. Shock Value II found Timbaland collaborating with several first time collaborators, such as: Miley Cyrus, JoJo, Daughtry and The Fray, as well as reuniting previous collaborators Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Keri Hilson and OneRepublic.
Commercially, the album peaked at #36 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States. The album charted lower than the previous album, which peaked at #5.
The album produced a total of four singles: “Morning After Dark” featuring Nelly Furtado & SoShy, “Say Something” featuring Drake, “Carry Out” featuring Justin Timberlake and “If We Ever Meet Again” featuring Katy Perry.
I’m so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a Shock Value II. I’m really proud of the caliber of artists on this album and all the work they put into making it a success. I can promise that no one has ever heard Katy Perry, The Fray, or Brandy sound like this before. It’s exciting because not only am I giving fans the best of me on each track, I’m giving them a glimpse of their favorite artist in a completely different light. This is an album that can be listened to from start to finish every single time because each song is so unique and the range of artists so diverse. I can’t wait for my fans to hear the collaborations.
