Unlike Pharrell, despite Tim’s long list of collaborators – Legends Of The Summer Jay Z and Justin Timberlake among them – the Xscape producer went on to reveal that Opera Noir finds him keeping things bare bones.
“Me and my new artist, her name is V. Just me and her. And Cee-Lo. That’s it,” Tim said of the artists featured on the upcoming album. Not a bad cast of characters, though to any casual fan, it’s obvious he could’ve called upon any number of his superstar homies to lend a helping hand. Still, Tim clarifies that “When [Opera Noir] comes out and you see the whole package, you’ll understand why. You’ll see it, and you’ll be like, ‘Wow, I’ve never seen nothing like this.'”
If you’re wondering what iconic hip-hop album the esteemed producer would compare his surely cinematic Opera Noir to, he likens it to his version of Dr. Dre’s 1992 masterwork, The Chronic.
“I finally made my Chronic,” Tim assured us. With his history, we’re likely not the only ones excited to hear whatever it is that sounds like.
