Timbaland prepares final album and will be going out with a high note… literally.
According to Pitchfork, Timbaland‘s final album, Opera Noir, is in the works. The VA mega-producer also says a corresponding musical of the same name is part of his project.
The play’s premise is “about a young musician’s rise to the top and hardships along the way–including struggles with poverty, substance abuse and crime.”
Timbaland will executive produce the musical with Leftfield Pictures, the production company responsible for Pawn Stars that has also done work with ESPN and NFL Network. This will come in addition to Timbo’s current work on Empire as he writes and produces the music for the FOX show.
