It's been seven years since Justin Timberlake released his album FutureSex/LoveSounds. Through a series of teasers new album The 20/20 Experience was announced at Justin's website.
Justin also premiered Suit & Tie, which is a brand new track lifted for the upcoming album. The track features Jay-Z and was produced by Timbaland.
No word as of when Justin will release the new album, but it's set for 2013 nonetheless.
Justin has stated the following: "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." The 20/20 Experience is undoubtedly an anticipated album. Sign-up for any leak download updates below.
The album is now updated with the official album cover and the track "Mirrors".
The official video for "Suit & Tie" has been added, which is directed by David Fincher - The man behind The Social Network movie which Timberlake starred in.
Can’t believe theres still no leak so close to release date!
For God’s Sake Leak Leak Leak !!!
that’s what i’m saying
Not Even I-Tunes has snippets of each track yet…I’d even be happy with that right now!!
The thirst is real. lol. Justin Timberlake is on RCA. That record label is getting better and better at preventing leaks. Why people thought it would have leaked by now, is beyond me cause albums don’t leak like that no more. There are some albums on that label that wouldn’t have leaked if they weren’t streamed on iTunes. You’ll probably get this the weekend before, and that’s only cause some countries get it on the 15th.
Exactly. JT is super popular. They’re gonna do everything in their power to make sure this doesn’t leak. I’m buying this (the Target Deluxe version), I just want to hear the songs first. You never know with Justin. lol.
yeah, i agree with each of you. i feel like RCA has this on lockdown, which is driving everyone crazy.
2 huge albums dropping on RCA this month. JT, and The Strokes.
I really thought it would leak the 8th if Germany was able to stream from iTunes, but yeah RCA was probably nope! Oh well I at least hope the us can stream it at least a week before!
wait, i’m confused. does Germany have an iTunes stream right now?
No. If they did it definitely would have leaked.
why do itunes stream before release?
Its an attempt to get people to stop illegally downloading music. Basically the artist is like here, listen to my music for free and if you like it go ahead and buy it from iTunes.
Internet ain’t what it used to be…
No I was hoping they would but apparently they do not.
I don’t think it’s going to make a difference if it leaks early or not. In the end the user can still “try before you buy” even after the release date, compared to back in the day when you had no idea what an album would sound like unless you bought it first or had a mate to record it to cassette for you.
So I read 3 reviews of his album and so far, “Tunnel Vision” seems to be the favorite because it reminds people of FutureSex/LoveSounds and “Let The Groove Get In” is the second favorite because it reminds people of Justified. And as far as the one that are didn’t impress “Strawberry Bubblegum” seems to be the least favorite. Also, “Don’t Hold the Wall”, “Spaceship Coupe and “Blue Ocean Floor” has people on the fence.
Yup. That’s JT. You never know. It’s all about a matter of opinion. He’s got a lot of preludes and interludes and the one thing that they say is that you don’t know when one song starts and when the other ends. I don’t think critics are gonna know how to approach rating his album. lol. It’s gonna take some getting used to for some people though.
Of course. lol. Personally, I don’t know why people were surprised by the song lengths. It’s not like there weren’t long songs on the last album. I bet it will take some getting used to. And yeah I read those reviews too. “Tunnel Vision” does seem to be the favorite. I kind of like the interludes and stuff though. Cause if you don’t like the first half of the song, maybe you’ll like the second. lol.
I definitely think the best parts of Futuresex/Lovesounds were the interludes for sure! Lovestoned/I Think She Knows and What goes around comes back around was freaking awesome! I’m excited either way. No more garbage like Beiber.
It’s 4 Days until release … German release is the 15th … Can’t wait !
