Justin Timberlake Suit & Tie
He is back! He is ready! That's what we are meant to believe! Yes after almost a decade since his last album, former N*Sync front man turned movie star Justin Timberlake has returned to his musical roots with a return single Suit and Tie.
To make things even better, he's teamed up with Jay Z for the comeback single - so he's taking no chances. You can listen to the song at the bottom of the page, but first watch this super weird, self involved, "buzz" video promoting his return.
It's kind of cool, but then really wanky when you realise that he's sitting in a sound booth recording the voice over dialogue trying to make it sound off the cuff. It's actually pretty creepy.
Anyhew, not willing to let the video do the talking, Timberlake took to his website to launch the single with this letter to his fans. We have it here, in full, for your reading enjoyment. Take it all in folks!
An Open Letter To You (The Fans):
I hope this gets to you the right way. It's the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right?? Right?!?! Besides, I'd rather speak directly to all of you. And, who can knock me for having a little bit of fun with it?
Well... No more teasing. Although, it was A LOT of fun. (Did I mention that I'm having fun with this?? Ha!)
*Makes a serious face*
So, here goes:
This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the "grapevine," I'm gearing up for a big 2013.
Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.
The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.
What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some new found muses that I've discovered along the way.
I'm calling it "The 20/20 Experience," and it's coming out this year.
I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
That's all I'm giving you for now... I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!
Get ready. This is going to be fun (well, at least it is for me).
