However, the track isn’t just a one-off collab. According to Timbo, the trio has an entire album coming.  In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, the super producer announced it could happen any day now.  

“This [“Keep Going Up”] sets you up for everything JT and Nelly about to do,” Timbaland told the outlet in a new interview. “I went to Justin doing a rehearsal, I said, ‘A fan said we should do album.’ He’s like, ‘You know what, we should.’ And that’s in the works.”   

Timbaland revealed he could return to the studio with Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado “ASAP.” He added, “This whole song is sparking off something that I think that’s gonna be incredible.” 

Timbo also explained how he fits into the magic-making triad. 

“I’m the disruption that comes in when we come together,” he explained. “The pot gonna stir a little bit and I’m gonna know what direction to go when it comes to music. And I think this is what we have.”
