Madonna's new album is going to be hot, according to Timbaland.

The producer, along with Justin Timberlake, have  been working with Madonna on her next LP and insists it is going to be amazing.

He said: "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."

Timbaland has written ten songs with Madonna for the hotly-anticipated record - the follow-up to her 2005 worldwide hit Confessions On A Dancefloor - but admits he already has a favourite track.

He told MTV: "The name of the song is La, La. The hook is saying all thesedifferent 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."

As well as Timbaland and Justin, Madonna has also worked with Pharrell Williams, producer Swizz Beatz and new pop sensation Mika on the LP.

The hip-hop influenced album, which Madonna is rumoured to be planning to call Blackstar or XXV, is due out in Octo ber. -
