Justin Timberlake Review Royale: The 20/20 Experience

Justin Timberlake

The 20/20 Experience

Austin’s Thoughts:

Going into my first listen of The 20/20 Experience my expectations were high, but also slightly tempered.  Justin Timberlake hasn’t released an album in seven years, instead choosing to focus on his acting career.  Maybe after stinkers like In Time, Yogi Bear (assuming), and Trouble With The Curve (again assuming), JT thought it would be prudent to turn his focus back to music.  He could not have been more right.  With R&B coming more to the forefront of the music landscape last year on the backs of Frank Ocean and Miguel, it was time for Timberlake to reassert his dominance in this particular arena.

Triple Threat of Justin Timberlake

We at LxL are admittedly pumped about Justin Timberlake’s return to music with his upcoming album 20/20 Experience and upcoming tour with Jay-Z. To show our pumped-ness for the new JT, we figured we would drop the first three released songs in a post for your listening pleasure in case you haven’t caught them. Three songs because JT himself is a triple threat: singer, actor, and renaissance man.
