Reminiscent of Timberlake’s 2006 album FutureSex/LoveSounds, “F**ckin Up The Disco” brings that sophmore album cover photo to life. Through sanded disco glass, listeners are transported into the catchy tempo and percussion of “No Angels.” Feeling like a love letter that Timberlake has chosen to share with the world, “Technicolor” beautifully showcases the artist’s tender side, which seamlessly segues into the alluring intro and chorus of “Drown.” From smoothly sung and rapped lyrics to elevating sounds, listeners are transported into the story being spun from start to finish. The soul filled album will have fans and curious listeners groovin’ back and forth with each hip sway. In a recent interview with Apple Music, Timberlake shares that “I was playing it for people around me. They’re like, ‘Oh, this sounds like everything we know you for.’”

Demonstrating the multifaceted and deeply passionate artist he is, Timberlake shares every rediscovered side of him. Noticeably unbounded by emotional restrictions or worry of public perception, this album debuts a very raw component of himself; leaving refreshing traces of genuine sincerity and vulnerability. The popular and first released single “Selfish” truly speaks to the tonality of this album, like an enticingly melodic trailer. As the listener hits “Sanctified,” they will find themselves Justified and fully encompassed in the dynamics of everything this album has to offer. Octave ranges hit each high and low perfectly, sparking the “Flame” within you. No matter your music preference, tracks from this album will make a great addition to any playlist.

Tracks featuring Fireboy DML, Tobe Nwigwe and NSYNC on the highly anticipated “Paradise” showcase Timberlake’s love of collaboration. Recently reuniting with his former four bandmates to surprise the audience at Justin’s free one night only show in Los Angeles at The Wiltern Theater, these gentlemen are undoubtedly back in sync. “Paradise” is what the world has “waited for forever, right here for this moment,” and it’s everything the world imagined. Feeding today’s nostalgic culture, we can only hope this is the iconic boy band’s start to hitting the road again with their powerhouse front man, perhaps with the notion of “Here We Go Again.”

The fresh techniques and musical maturity on this 18 track album will make it your “New Favorite Drug” as you fall in love with its energetically mellow vibes.
