Justin Timberlake has a much different interpretation of “the woods” than we do. His first, rustic teaser for his fifth studio album, showing the bearded singer clad in flannel and roaming about nature, presented an Americana vision that suggested a folksier direction for Timberlake’s new music.  What followed was a whiplash-inducing sequence of two jarringly unenjoyable pop singles (Filthy and Supplies), both accompanied by videos set in an alternate tech dystopia. Then Timberlake followed with Say Something, the twangy Chris Stapleton-featuring country collaboration fans were anticipating all along. The 16 songs of Man of the Woods fall somewhere in between the fields and forests its title suggests and the slick pop of Timberlake’s past releases, the latter courtesy of two production teams the singer has relied on throughout his career, The Neptunes and Timbaland.  |

 Timberlake's Super Bowl halftime performance drew mixed reaction across the Twitterverse, but there's no denying that Prince fans weren't too happy with JT's tribute to the iconic Minneapolis musician, who died in 2016. Timberlake showcased a number of his own hits during the set but included a performance of Prince's I Would Die 4 U with a giant projection of the artist on a large billowing sheet behind the stage. After Sheila E, a close Prince friend, tweeted that Timberlake assured her there would be no Prince hologram in his show, many expressed relief on social media. |

 Pour one out for Justin Timberlake's new album, Man of the Woods? Early reviews were less than kind to the pop star's latest Flannel-clad venture. Here's a look at what the critics had to say.  "As Timberlake gears up for his Super Bowl halftime show performance on Sunday, it’s telling that his best new songs are purposefully retro. And as he cycles through his greatest hits during Sunday’s set, it’ll be a reminder of a time when Timberlake was among the most exciting names in pop, an era that, from the sounds of Man of the Woods, has since passed." "Well, I’m here to tell you a little bit of good news: Man of the Woods is not a country album. It’s more like deep-fried Justin Timberlake. It's like stumbling across some awkward campfire party in a clearing in the middle of a forest. It's like eating a handful of poison berries from a bush and finding yourself scared, confused, nauseous, and lost among the foliage ... It’s his infamous denim suit resurrected as music." |
