FUTURESEX / LOVESOUNDS:
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
[2006]
Justin Timberlake finally dropped his second studio album 'Futuresex / Lovesounds' in 2006, 4 years after his debut release. JT wisely avoided the temptation of repeating himself and playing it safe. Instead, the popular performer delivered surprises. His first album evoked Michael Jackson. For his sophomore release he drew inspiration from Prince. This gives the track listing a retro feel, but the music is also infused with a contemporary electro production. The influence of Timbaland and Rick Rubin as producers is key here. Lead single "SexyBack" announced the new album would sound different from its predecessor. There are some weak lyrical moments, but the album never repeats itself. The songs here justify Timberlake's deserved place among the A-league of pop artists.
Highiight tracks: Damn Girl; What Goes Around... Comes Around; SexyBack & LoveStoned/ IThink She Knows (Interlude).
