Timbaland sat down with MTV to discuss what he's been up to in recent weeks, aside from touring behind his new album Shock Value. The producer du jour revealed some details behind his anticipated collaboration with Madonna.

"[Me and Justin] just did Madonna's record and she's great...She's got a hot album. Her album is up there with Justin's album," said Timbaland, referring to his recording sessions with the Material Girl, Justin Timberlake and himself that resulted in ten new tracks.

"There's this one song, we taking it back to 'You must be my luck-eee starrrr!'...Remember 'Ugly' by Bubba Sparxxx? I got a beat similar to that. The hook is no words. It's saying stuff named after coffee — all these different names for coffee — is the hook," the producer revealed. "The name of the song is 'La, La.' Pharrell did a hot one for her too called 'Candy Shop.' She's off the chain."

A release date for the Madonna record has not been set, although Timbaland will reconvene with her in September to finalize the material.
