Gentleman, good night/Ladies, good morning...

The second of the big hitters to come out with a hotly anticipated single this summer is Justin Timberlake. His SexyBack track has been getting mixed responses much like back in 2002 when Like I Love You first hit the airwaves. On first listen you wouldn't have even known it was Timberlake such is the switch in vocal delivery, he is said to have gone for a more rock feel to his singing and it takes a few plays before you can start to get used to it. Still the track is a winner in my book and if the vocals at first take a while to feel familiar with, the funk of the Timbaland beat runs through the speakers and will have you moving along. With The Neptunes and Jive not getting along it seems that Timbo will be having a more prominent role in the album FutureSex/LoveSounds, out in September.
