Consequently, he has been able to attract a wide variety of artists into his sphere. Two of these artists are Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake.

Although that has changed as recently, Timbaland revealed all three would be on a song together. This was great news for fans of these artists, especially those who grew up during the 2000s. Today, the song, which is called “Keep Going Up,” dropped on YouTube and streaming services.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’ve been addin’ commas on my new statements (Say what?)
Yeah, I’ve been on new energy, it’s contagious (Yeah)
I could try to hide it, but can’t contain it (Uh)
This life keeps goin’ up and I can’t explain it (Ayy, what you say, JT?)

The post Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, And Nelly Furtado Bring The Nostalgia With “Keep Going Up” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Nelly Furtado have teamed up in a reunion for the ages. On their new collaboration, “Keep Going Up,” the trio maintains the undeniable chemistry which kept a hold on us through the mid-aughts. In 2006, Tim produced the bulk of Furtado’s Loose album and Timberlake’s FutureSex / LoveSounds album. The following year, the three collaborated on a song called “Give It To Me.” With their latest, the collaborators and longtime friends pick up right where they left off — only this time, they’re happier and better than ever.

Over the course of “Keep Going Up,” Tim delivers on fresh sounds and ad-libs, while Furtado, who has been away from the musical spotlight for a while, lets us know what she’s been up to.

“I’ve been working on my gains lately / I’ve been loving myself, from the daily / Had to cut some people off, the were draining,” sings Furtado on her verse.

Timberlake then drops in, noting his happiness and overall reinvigorated mood.

“I’ve been on new energy, it’s contagious / I kept tryna hide it, but can’t contain it / This life keeps going up and I can’t explain it,” he sings on his verse.

According to a press statement accompanied by the song’s release, the song precedes a new EP from Timbaland, which will drop later this year.
