It's been quite a few years since we've gotten a full album from Justin Timberlake. After the success of FutureSex/LoveSounds, he took a break and focused on nurturing the artists on his Tennman Records label, his bit acting parts, writing, producing and guest-starring on other artist's records, and expanding his successful William Rast clothing line. So when he was asked what's going on with his third solo cd and is we'll be expecting another record from the former N*Syncer, here is what he had to say:
“You know, music is … music exploration, I find that when it comes up … it comes up like a freight train,” he said. “So when it does, I definitely won’t run from it.”
“Right now I’m enjoying working with new artists, working with some of the acts that I have signed to my little label, which I just started,” he explained.
I have to say I admire the fact that JT is taking his time to come with new music instead of dropping records every year because he can. It's always best to go all the way and create a great record that will be listened to ten years from now instead of some microwave cd that will only last the test of time for six months. Justin's got alot on his plate, and he wants to make sure all his ducks are in a row before he can concentrate on himself. Don't wait too long though. There'll be someone to come along and try to take your place and we all know when Robin Thicke can release a record that has consistant hits instead of the few stand-out ones that exist on his Sex Therapy record, he'll be gunning for JT's number one spot.
Sidebar: After the god-awful music video for 'Morning After Dark' and releasing the forgetful 'Until We Meet Again' with Katy Perry, I'm glad to see Timbaland finally got it right by releasing a video with Justin Timberlake for 'Carry Out.' I guess it is true what they say that third time's a charm. Now all he has to do is release 'Lose Control' with Jojo, 'Ease off the Liquor' (something I personally would never do) and 'Symphony' with Attitude, D.O.E. and Bran'Nu (aka Brandy) as singles and Shock Value 2 might pick up some sales that could rival the success of the first one.
