Unsurprisingly, Timbaland's Shock Value II, his upcoming new studio album, features a plethora of guests, but Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's inclusion in that list is a bit of a surprise.

Kroeger, Drake, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Chris Daughtry, Brandy, The Fray and Keri Hilson make guest appearances on Timbaland's radio platform-spanning follow-up to 2007's Shock Value, which is out Nov. 23 through Universal Music.

Furtado guests on the album's first single, "Morning After Dark," which will be available to buy on iTunes beginning this coming Tuesday (Oct. 27). Furtado previously guested on Shock Value, as did Timberlake and Hilson.

"I'm so fortunate and blessed to be able to create a Shock Value II," Timbaland says. "I'm really proud of the calibre 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. This is an album that can be listened to from start to finish every single time because each song is so unique and the range of artists is so diverse. I can't wait for my fans to hear the collaborations."

No tracklisting for Shock Value II has been announced yet. It will be Timbaland's third solo studio album.
