Timbaland wants to go country with swift

Hip-hop superproducer Timbaland is planning a change in musical direction - he wants to work with country singing sensation Taylor Swift.

The Way I Are hitmaker, real name Timothy Mosley, has collaborated with a number of high profile stars from a range of genres, including Madonna, Jay-Z, Pussycat Dolls, T-Pain and Jennifer Hudson.

And now he wants to try out country with teen singer Swift - but she's already turned him down once due to her tight schedule.

Timbaland tells RadarOnline.com, "I think the main person I want to get is Taylor Swift. I love her voice.

"Her people said she was busy. She wanted to do it, but you know, there's all these people she's got to go through and her people said she was busy... but I'll make it happen."
