Justin Timberlake's new Album

Ladies and gentlemen, Justin Timberlake has arrived. The new album Futuresex/lovesounds is a bold successful experiment with sounds, fusion, vocal dexterity and above all with elements of 'everything' in it.

It starts of 'Sexyback', collaborating with Timbaland. Apt for the title, innovative in sound, lyrics is PG, but hey we are talking of music here.

'What goes around....' reminds you of 'Cry me a river....' for its lyrical content. But Music is well done, especially the reprise. Timbaland, a k a Thomas Crown, hats off!

There is a gem amongst all the songs, its titled 'My Love'. The keyboards, the beats - good use of vocals here and more so the melody makes this number the no. 1. In my list of songs to look out for this year. T.I has participated besides Timbaland ofcourse, but I liked the nice flow from melody to rap and back. Great work guys!

Lovestoned reminded me of Michael Jackson's Billie Jean, remember?

loosing My Way' is like church music. The Lyrics is probably 40ish, but again well done. Good mix of Choir and if only listening to this in isolation, it does elevate. Besides this is an album/ supposed to give the broad spectrum of what the artist represents. In conclusion this is a great number, perhaps not apt to feature in an album titled Futuresex...

Overall this album is a superb effort. Justin Timberlake has arrived. Bold, experimental, great collaborator....We can expect more from this artist in the days to come.
