I don’t know about you, but whenever I hear “I can’t wait til I get you on the floor, good-looking”, I can’t keep myself from dancing!
Justin Timberlake’s comeback album, The 20/20 Experience, was released with only 10 songs, making people wonder “where are the other 10?” It seems he is prepping a second album for release in the fall. He wrote on the Okayplayer.com message boards, “20/20 Vol. 2 comes out in Nov. 10 songs now…10 songs later = 20 vision.” The name “20/20” is said to be a reference to a friend of Justin’s who said, while listening to the music, that it made him feel like he was watching a movie. The new album is a collaboration with producer Timbaland. The album hit stores on yesterday, Tuesday, March 19th, and is expected to sell 500,000 within the first week.
According to reviews, the new album lacks risk and innovation, but is amiable. It doesn’t alienate anyone, but doesn’t offer new reasons to commit. To the album’s credit, however, some people are comparing the relationship between Justin Timberlake and Timbaland to the legendary Quincy Jones’ and Michael Jackson.
Justin has been on a media blitz since the new album, he hosted Saturday Night Live and teamed up with Jimmy Fallon for an entire week of late-night shows.
