Justin Timberlake's last new music was 2013's The 20/20 Experience. Today, the pop star revealed that he's coming back with more new music on Friday. In a series of tweets, he hinted that a new single called "Can't Stop the Feeling" is coming in two days. Recently, Timberlake has shared photos of him working in the studio with Pharrell, Timbaland, and Little Big Town.

Say wha...........

He's already established himself as a top entertainer (very few have survived the boy band to solo entertainer as well as he did), but the question is how big will this next album and tour be? The last album and tour did very well for him. He wrote a really nice memorial about Prince, and he said in there he influenced him as an artist.

This also means another SNL appearance (it will be 6 appearances!) They probably care more about the new album than anyone.

Not in my world. Janelle maybe.

we'll see about that, in 25 years

meanwhile, he's released 4 albums since his solo debut in 2002, so he's lagging behind

by about 10 albums as of now, well, counting side projects, about 20 albums behind

seriously though, i hope his new album is a bit more like FS/LS because i enjoyed that
one a lot. 20/20, i was never able to really get into. maybe i should try again.

It was 3 albums so far not 4. The latest one was a double disc

well, since they were released with several months between them i thought

i'd give him that and say 4 albums

Seems kind of quick to be releasing another album. Here's hoping this new single and album sound like Justified. I was hoping he'd move on from Timbaland completely.

FutureSex was his "Thriller". He'll never top that again. Just like Usher and Confessions.

Its 4 ... they packaged them together AFTER the release of both.

It wasnt like HITS 1 and HITS 2 then HITS & B SIDES which all dropped at the same damn time.

Hardly...his last CD was just meh and his 15minutes is about up....

Puh-lease! As if!

I was originally just going to say 'No.'

But Justin Timberlake is a decent pop artist. And generations are different. But still, no. He's an upper-echelon pop/R&B artist, good songs, good production, seems to respect the business, and I think he'll be around awhile. But Bruno Mars, J.T., Beyonce, etc. are not the next anyone. They are themselves and they'll keep on or fizzle out. Really, time will truly tell who the legends are, not comparisons or hype.

*Also have to mention that Timbaland (and to a lesser degree, Pharrell) should be mentioned alongside Prince or Quincy Jones anytime he's compared to greats, because they produced the vast majority of his breakout and biggest hits. And I don't want to go down that road, lol. I like Timberlake, but I don't get the need for comparisons. He's not the "next" anyone, let's talk about who inspired him to be great, and what he's bringing new to the table.

This song is just Meh. It's too wordy, if that makes sense. Very generic sounding, made for radio.. Won't have any lasting power.

Wow that's a very very very weak single and the video is self serving and a bit pathetic. Everyone standing around for some cool new song and there all like Oh...oh yeah it's great Justin! Really this is it? it's uhhhh great yeah sure [Edited 5/6/16 5:55am]

I for one will NEVER waste my time listening to that song again.

I posted the video without streaming it first. What did I miss?

U save your ears from nonsense.

Oh lawd.....these are some of the lamest lyrics I've heard in a while...

If Justin is intent on doing this style of music he needs to get in touch with Thibaut Berland.

Best part of the video is near the end when that guy is throwing a tantrum with those pillows.

Count me for two. It will find its audience. You know, the one that thinks everything he touches is gold (or platinum). Sounds like something from 20/20 Pt. 2 to me.

It has a nice summer feel to it ala Get Lucky, I think it'll do alright.
