Future Sex / Love Sounds explicit_lyrics

Product Description ------------------- The wait is over. The follow up album to the multi-million selling, award winning Justified will be released September 11th. Future Sex/Love Sounds is the new album from Justin Timberlake. In the UK alone Justin has sold 1.8 million albums, over 1 million tickets to gigs, been involved in 3 major movies and has his own Fashion Label William Rast which will be launching in the UK this autumn. He is truly a global superstar that no other can compete with. Future Sex/Love Sounds features the hit single, "SexyBack", mid-tempo second single "My Love" and co-production from Timbaland, Will.I.Am and Rick Rubin. Think early Prince mixed with Michael Jackson, think breaking boundaries in his sound. .co.uk ------ One spin of FutureSex/LoveSounds and it's hard to believe that Justin Timberlake was ever a boy-band barnstormer--no modern-day male artist beats him when it comes to single-minded self assurance or suavity. "SexyBack," the inescapable summer sizzler of a first single off this short and thrillingly unwholesome disc, makes that clear on its own: If there was ever any question about whether sexy was in need of reviving--a doubtful proposition at best, given the sheer volume of JT's gyrating counterparts--he lays it to rest instantly over a small but insistent Timbaland-concocted beat. On that track, Timberlake's appeal is his sweet but newly thuggish-sounding voice--here's a good kid gone bad, and he's determined to convince us of it not only by tossing a few well-timed mother****ers our way but also with such lyrics as "I'll let you whip me if I misbehave." The rest of FutureSex will feel familiar to anyone who picked up 2002's brilliantly funk-flecked Justified: "Love Stoned/I Think She Knows Me," shifts from Michael Jackson-esque paranoid trilling to pulsating guitar rock; "Chop Me Up," a collaboration with Three 6 Mafia and Timbaland, gives up the grit rap-style but still manages to recall both Prince and Stevie Wonder; "My Love," with T.I., mines classic Timberlake territory with meltaway lyrics like "I can see us holding hands walking on the beach/Our clothes in the sand"; and the straight-up but groovy lament "Losing My Way" asks, searchingly, what may be the silliest question a squeal-inducing pop star has ever posed: "Can anybody out there feel me?" Rest assured, JT: we feel every past-, present-, and future-sexy verse. --Tammy La Gorce
