Nicole Scherzinger - "Zoo" (prod. by Timbaland)

Check out that newly leaked track by Nicole Scherzinger, called "Zoo", which apparently was made for her solo album Her Name Is Nicole:

Nicole Scherzinger - "Zoo" (prod. by Timbaland)

Great to hear another one of the tracks Timbo & Danja made with Nicole!!
But listen closely to the beat! The Chorus!! Does it remind you of another track? Timbaland sampling his own tracks? Even if it was never officially released...
I give you a small hint: James Fauntleroy.
Yeah, now you should know what I'm talking about!! ;)


What do you think of the song?

The beat is also VERYYY similar to 'Stop Me' by Chris Cornell in a way with partial elements of 'Time' also in it, no?
Buttt yeah, really liking the Back Together sampling :)

I want just the instrumental, Timbo drums are hard!!! However, the track in general especially the vocals dont do much for me. As for the Back Together sample, it's better of that masterpiece is left alone, thank u.

I don't think Danja has any part in this

It wouldn't sound like Danja has any part in this does it Big-A?

What Big-A said, from the Danja-ologist.

This is my catch on all what is going on so far in the timbaland camp! For some reason, I have the feeling that timbaland and danja have some issues that they need to iron out...thats the very first and obvious thought a fan like me would have after realising that despite the fact that timbo/danja is the best collaboration in the history of the commercial music industry, they both just decided to part from each other and do really unpopular stuffs on their own...what do i mean?? Danja has really been releasing some poor productions of late...all his songs have very good melodies, good mixing but the drums are always so bad that it kills the greatness of the song...look at his productions with ciara and britney of late....For timbaland, the drums will always be great, but though the melodies are good(props to Jroc), the whole production either lacks Demacio alias Demo castellon for the mixing(remeber Loose and prob. SV1), or it lacks the touch, melody or fine tuning that danja used to give to the songs. Another thought is that both have decided to lie low and do some solo productions for a while and probably create new sounds and then reunite to explode the market...so finally, though timbaland is still managing up to expectations, danja to my opinion, is loosing out.timbaland too is loosing out as well,but at a slower rate than danja...so they both should reunite forces, forget abt the temptations such as pride and money and just make good music for the fans.
N.B danja last good production was Knock you down wc i strongly beleive had some kanye touch but ill give him all the credits but still i consider that album ie in a perfect world as a collabo with timbo so...thats what i mean...they should work together...period.
This song is on fire by the way....

Back Together is my favorite song ever by Timbo. Really nice to heard that new song!

FrankWhite said...

danja and timbo aint gonna work together forever. soon or later danja had too go on his own. he diff between JRoc and Danja is JROC is a musician he plays w/e timbo tells him too. Danja was a full on producer workin side by side timbo so of course he would have to branch out and do his own thing. as a producer i would love to work with timbo but for forever? nah. i would want to build my own legacy instead of tims

the beat is nice and deep

the song is not that good tho

back together should be on SV2!!!

Haze said...

beat is sikkkk, but nicole... hmm needs a better singer on it. This song shits on some songs on her solo album.. which didnt do very well anyway...

Kenny said...

Tim and Danja create a whole different entity.

Kenny said...

If you guys want all the arps timbaland uses for his tracks, including the ones you hear in return the favor by Keri Hilson.

Purchase the VSTi called Firebird.

Haze said...

this sounds a bit like a Neptunes track... hmmm... man listening to it more, the lyrics are rather crap...

Frederick said...

Surprised that NO ONE mentioned the verse drum pattern sounds JUST LIKE "Give It to Me".

Given that, the "Back Together" sample, and the choral harmony that sounds like it's from PCD's "Magic", I'm inclined to say that this song is boring.

Ed said...

I don't get why this wouldn't be on SV2... I know I'm always insisting but also Cover's Blown. LOL I'm not gonna get over that soon

Don £ Blaze said...

The instrumental is sick...especially the outro! Club bangers do not require deep lyrics :)

Morghulis said...

Hey Don, where did you hear the instrumental? I love the sampling and the chorus...amazing man, I'd love to hear it without the vocals..

Anonymous said...

This song dosent sound like danja did anything cuz he didn't. This song screams Tim and J-roc.. that's why it sounds a little like stop me and a little like time. And that's why it has the vocal harmonies of magic. This is a pussy cat dolls songg..

Don £ Blaze said...

Sorry KaranZ33, I Cant remember where I heard the instrumental

none said...

The track by J fauntleroy is called "choreographer"
