The world has waited six years for Justin to bring his sexy back, and the first single from his new album, Suit and Tie, fell flatter than Chris Brown’s appearance at this year’s Grammys.
Thankfully, his second single, Mirror, recaptured the UK
He’s stuck with collaborator, Timbaland, all along, but Timberlake’s sound seems to detach further and further from the pure pop perfection that was 2002’s Justified, which will likely be a huge draw for potential new fans and, actually, might be more up the street of his aging original teeny-bopper followers anyway.
Where 2006’s Future Sex/Love Sounds laid some heavily produced, over-sexed grooves over Justin’s shedding boy-band image, The 20/20 Experience sees some obvious Big Band influence creep in alongside a little soul and jazz, albeit in heavily watered-down radio-friendly concoctions.
