With his infectious charisma and unparalleled talent, Justin Timberlake needs no introduction, and with Everything I Thought It Was he once again proves why he remains a dominant force not just in music, but throughout pop culture.
Justin Timberlake is the epitome of a multi-talented force in entertainment, and he’s back to show why with his highly anticipated sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was. The album, brimming with Timberlake's trademark blend of pop-infused melodies and soulful vocals, marks a triumphant return since his much-loved 2018 release, Man Of The Woods.
Leading the way is the infectious first single, "Selfish," a collaborative effort written by Timberlake alongside hitmakers Louis Bell, Cirkut, Theron Thomas, Amy Allen, and produced by Timberlake himself, along with Bell and Cirkut. With its irresistible hooks and Timberlake's unmistakable vocals, "Selfish" sets the stage for an electrifying showcase of an artist at the height of his creative strength. Tracks like "Drown," co-written by Timberlake, Bell, Henry Walter, Amy Allen, and Kenyon Dixon, offer a glimpse into the album's diversity, blending elements of pop, R&B, and dance into a mesmerizing mix of sounds. Helmed by Bell and Cirkut, "Drown" exemplifies Timberlake's ability to push his songs to new levels while still staying true to his signature style.
Timberlake's illustrious career spans decades, during which he has solidified his status as one of the industry's most iconic figures. From his chart-topping success as the lead vocalist of *NSYNC to his groundbreaking solo recordings, he’s amassed a staggering 54 million albums and 63 million singles sold globally. His accolades include ten Grammy Awards across multiple genres, showcasing his versatility as an artist. Beyond his music, Timberlake's career extends to the big screen, where he’s appeared in everything from the blockbuster animated franchise TROLLS, to the intensely dark crime drama Alpha Dog, and one of my personal favorites, Inside Llewyn Davis.
