Justin Timberlake has made a triumphant return to the music scene with his latest album, 'Everything I Thought It Was,' which is set to be released this Friday. This album marks a significant departure from his previous effort, 'Man of the Woods,' which received mixed reviews.
'Everything I Thought It Was' is being hailed as a nostalgic yet fresh collection of tracks that showcase Timberlake's signature style and vocal prowess. The album kicks off with the track 'Memphis,' a vibey introduction that sets the tone for what's to come.
The standout songs on the album include 'F–kin’ Up the Disco' and 'No Angels,' both of which are produced by Calvin Harris and highlight Timberlake's catchy hooks and falsetto vocals. The theme of love runs throughout the 18-track project, with the standout being the seven-minute slow jam, 'Technicolor,' produced by Timbaland.
Timberlake's ability to master sprawling soundscapes is evident in tracks like 'Technicolor' and 'Play,' which showcase his growth as an artist. The album also features a collaboration with his former boy band, *NSYNC, on the track 'Paradise,' which has been well-received by fans.
While some tracks on the album, such as 'Selfish' and 'Imagination,' stay true to Timberlake's pop roots, others like 'Love & War' and 'My Favorite Drug' see him pushing boundaries and experimenting with new sounds.
Overall, 'Everything I Thought It Was' is being praised as a much-needed return to form for Timberlake, with critics and fans alike lauding his ability to blend nostalgia with a fresh perspective. This album marks a new chapter in Timberlake's career, signaling that he has moved past his previous missteps and is back in top form.
