Timbaland calls new Madonna LP "amazing"

Hip-hop producer Timbaland has claimed the new Madonna album he's working on sounds "amazing".

Madonna's follow up to 2005's Confessions On A Dancefloor is expected to be out in October and will feature collaborations with Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams and Mika.

Timbaland has written 10 tracks on the album, which is allegedly going to be called either Blackstar or XXV.

The producer told MTV: "We just did Madonna's record. Me and Justin did the records for the album. She's great, she's got a hot album. Her album is up there with Justin's last release."

Talking about his favourite track on the LP, he added: "The name of the song is 'La La'. The hook is saying all these different names for coffee. We're taking it back to, 'You must be my luck-eee starrrr!' Remember 'Ugly' by Bubba Sparxxx? It's got a beat similar to that."
