Morning After Dark

"Morning After Dark" is a song by American record producer Timbaland, taken from his third studio album, Shock Value II.

Then he appeared with Nelly Furtado and SoShy for the first fully featured live performance of the song at the American Music Awards (2009) on November 22, 2009.

And also, most of the live shows contain samples from Michael Jackson's song "Thriller", as well as using Vincent Price's laugh at the end of the performance.

While comparisons to the 2007 cut "Return the Favor" are undeniable — lacking shock value on that end — this club banger will send shockwaves through your speakers nonetheless.

The production is suitably sinister, the beats are as sharp as tiny ice-picks, and there's capable support from Nelly Furtado and newcomer SoShy, but it's hard to shake the feeling that there's little here Timbo hasn't given us before.

The video is an estimated 7 minutes in length, longer than the song itself, featuring a story plot which begins with Sarah (played by Kati Sharp) who has been studying for a year in Italy, talking to her mother on the phone and then a friend who convinces her to go to a nightclub.

Her friend's attitude immediately takes on a more threatening quality as a sudden lunar eclipse happens above them but before he can do anything he is confronted by Timbaland and SoShy's characters.

He tells them that this time he's brought a couple of friends, and the vampire and the cat man appear to back him up only for the three of them to be frightened away by much larger crowd that Timbaland summons.

The woman caught between the two sides looks down to see that her circular birthmark is glowing and looks like the eclipse, and the necklace worn by the vampire who was staring at her in the club.

Nelly is featured in the video, appearing in a kitchen with a black cat while singing her verse, and Sarah is talking to her mother on the phone.

In Germany the song enjoyed a successful chart run; after peaking at number six it remained in the top 30 singles for 12 weeks.
