Timbaland has announced his plans to make music history by becoming the first artist to release an album through mobile phone download only.
The super-producer will release one track with a different artist each month for subscribers of American phone network Verizon's entertainment service.
"Just producing a mobile album has never been done. I'm the first to ever do it,'" he told 'Billboard' magazine.
He added: "How I prepare for [the new album] is, I just do it, like any other album. The only difference is it's immediate."
Timbaland hopes the deal will help him reach new listeners, because: "every place don't get a CD [but] everybody has a mobile phone".
The songs will be available to download as both ringtones and full-length tracks.
