Santa Monica, CA (CNS) - Timbaland's latest career move should come as no shock to his fans.

The hip hop/R&B vocal artist will be releasing the follow-up to his 2007 album "Timbaland Presents Shock Value" with the similarly titled "Timbaland Presents Shock Value II." The album, produced through the artist's Blackground Records in conjunction with Interscope Records and Mosley Music Group, is set to hit stores on November 23.

Like its predecessor, "Shock Value II" will contain contributions from an abundance of other recording artists. From young pop talents like Miley Cyrus and Katy Perry to seasoned rock names such as Jet and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, the musical collection will encompass a wide range of sounds, touching on numerous genres. Other artists featured on "Shock Value II" include Justin Timberlake, Brandy, Jay-Z, Shakira, Lil' Wayne, The Fray, T-Pain, Missy Elliott, Chris Daughtry, OneRepublic and more.

The album's single "Morning After Dark," featuring Nelly Furtado and French musical artist SoShy, premiered on "On-Air with Ryan Seacrest" on October 16 and will be available on iTunes by October 27, according to label Interscope Records.

Timbaland's production efforts have brought him influence in many facets of the musical world, with the artist's sway giving weight to recent output from Destiny's Child, Madonna and Fall Out Boy, and other musical acts. The latter also performed on the first "Shock Value."

"I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a 'Shock Value II,'" Timbaland said in a press release for the album. "I'm really proud of the caliber of artists on this album and all the work they put into making it a success. I can promise that no one has ever heard Katy Perry, The Fray, or Brandy sound like this before. It's exciting because not only am I giving fans the best of me on each track, I'm giving them a glimpse of their favorite artist in a completely different light."
