JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
Futuresex/Lovesounds
Sony BMG

· It’s time you got your sexy on.

Not long ago, Fast Forward scribe Aubrey McInnis and I were discussing how we would have paid any amount of money to see the "alleged" dance-off that occurred between Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. After the couple parted ways in a very public (and some would say spectacular) way, the two met up at an L.A. club and like every episode of Fame I’ve ever seen, the pair worked out their aggression and relationship issues through dance.

Why isn’t this on the Internet?

As the years went on, it became clear that J.T. was the victor, turning a guilty pleasure into a chart-topper with his debut Justified. Spears, well, she got stuck with K-Fed – a substandard consolation prize if ever there was one.

On Futuresex/Lovesounds Timberlake collaborates with hip hop icon Timbaland to make an album that has smooth grooves and fun tracks to get your butt shaking. J.T. is likable, harmless (in a suburban mall/pre-meltdown Michael Jackson kind of way) and has a funk-infused sex vibe that cannot be contained.

4/5
