Timbaland "Miley Cyrus Is Like Timberlake"

Timbaland has been singing the praises of Miley Cyrus.

The uber-producer worked with the teeny pop star on a song for his 'Shock Value 2' album, and was left impressed by her talent.

"Man, she's gonna be like Justin Timberlake," Timbaland told E!. "She comes from that same musical background, where she's just got it."

"Her voice is just there. The best way to put it is she's special. When I worked with her, I was very impressed. I was like, 'Whoa'."

And when asked about Justin's next album - the follow-up to the Timbaland-produced 'FutureSex / Lovesounds', the studio king appears to be in the dark about when they'll record it.

"I can't really speak on [his] behalf, but we're not really in that frame of mind right now. I'll be honest with you, that's the album that I'm scared if I can top it."

'Shock Value 2' meanwhile, is to be released on December 2.
