Justin Timberlake – Futuresex/Lovesounds (2006)
Futuresex/Lovesounds by Justin Timberlake
Career Overview
Though he gained superstar status as a member of the definitive “boy band” N Sync, Justin Timberlake stepped out on his own with his first solo album in 2002. JUSTIFIED showed that there was more to the then-21-year-old Timberlake than teen pop, highlighting the young singer’s pronounced R&B influences and positing him as the Michael Jackson of the 21st century.
Biography
b. 31 January 1981, Memphis, Tennessee, USA. Timberlake rose to fame in the late 90s as a member of hugely popular US vocal group *NSYNC, with whom he enjoyed a string of bestselling singles and albums. Timberlake became the most prominent member of the group owing to his personal relationship with teen pop queen Britney Spears, although by the time he launched his solo career in late 2002 the celebrity couple had endured a very public split.
Timberlake hooked up with prominent urban songwriting and production heavyweights the Neptunes and Timbaland, to work on his debut album, with additional assistance from Brian McKnight and Mario Winans. He co-wrote all of the material on Justified in a marked attempt to distance himself from *NSYNC’s adolescent fanbase and woo a more mature audience. The debut single “Like I Love You’ featured verses provided by the Neptunes” prot?g?s the Clipse, and was eerily reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his mid-80s prime. The album also included collaborations with Janet Jackson and Bubba Sparxxx, and featured the transatlantic hit singles “Cry Me A River”, “Rock Your Body”, and “Senorita”. The huge commercial success of the album was buoyed by Timberlake’s energetic live shows, and by the following year the singer could arguably claim to be the most popular solo male performer on the planet.
In February 2004, Timberlake prompted a fit of moral outrage in America when, live on prime time television, he exposed Janet Jackson’s right breast during a sexually charged duet at the Super Bowl half-time show. This did not stop the singer picking up Grammy awards a week later for best male pop vocal performance (“Cry Me A River”) and best pop vocal album.

It seems like Justin Timberlake is trying to demonstrate that his and Jessica Biel’s love is still strong. I do feel he looked happier with his ex – Cameron Diaz though.
