Essential Albums
- Justin Timberlake’s first album, Justified, transitioned the former *NSYNC singer into a solo star, but its follow-up made him a daring pop visionary. FutureSex/LoveSounds is a scintillating set of android-like synths, percolating beats and digital grooves, with Timberlake’s falsetto floating over the top like an angel serenading a sci-fi city. Producer Timbaland’s orchestration on “My Love” is a fury of stuttering pyrotechnics and hypnotic trance grooves, while the angular electronics of “SexyBack” score a raunchy club banger.
- Freed from the rigours of commercial pop’s factory floor, Justin Timberlake concocts a solo debut that manages to—somehow—be both drum-tight and boundlessly inventive. Of course, Justified is also a monument to the bottled-lightning production of The Neptunes (the earthy snap of “Señorita”, the glistening, space age funk of “Rock Your Body”) and Timbaland (layered, percussive alchemy on “Cry Me a River” and “Right for Me”). But those sumptuous beatscapes would be nothing without the focal point of Timberlake’s MJ-worthy falsetto, emancipated swagger and full-beam star power.

About Justin Timberlake
Teen idol, pop phenom, R&B innovator, Man of the Woods–Justin Timberlake is a master of re-invention. Born in 1981, the Tennessee native got his start on The All New Mickey Mouse Club (alongside Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera) and then smashed all kinds of chart records in his later teens with the Orlando-based *NSYNC. But he would go on to rewrite the rule book for boy-band-alum second acts when he gracefully transitioned to a grown-and-sexy solo star, fusing slick, R&B beats (crafted largely by The Neptunes and Timbaland) with irresistible pop hooks. Armed with a fluid falsetto and charismatic stage presence, he’s headlined halftime spectaculars, become a regular on Saturday Night Live, and landed roles in award-winning films like The Social Network and Inside Llewyn Davis, all while earning comparisons to no less than Michael Jackson and Prince. But in the end, it’s Timberlake’s catalogue of instant classics that will cement his place in pop history: “Cry Me a River” redefined the breakup ballad, “SexyBack” and “My Love” sparked a new era of synth-pop, and “Suit & Tie”, his 2013 collaboration with JAY-Z, brought the spirit of the Rat Pack back to life.
