Timbaland’s NFT collectibles, available starting November 2, are based on tracks from his upcoming EP, titled “Opera Noir.” Each track is divided into individual elements, such as beats, hooks, and stems-which will be sold at auction as NFT collectibles.
If they collect two NFTs or more, collectors will eventually be able to use a web-based mixing app, akin to Apple’s GarageBand, that lets them plug in the song components and manipulate them to create custom remixes.
NFTs were developed in collaboration with Kevin and Jennifer McCoy, renowned multimedia artists known as pioneers of the NFT space.

On November 2, Timbaland will auction NFTs from two songs from the EP – “Afrodite” and “BMW” – with an estimated 50-70 NFTs for each track available at various edition numbers.
