Justin Timberlake has penciled in a Sept. 12 North American release date for his second solo album, "FutureSex/LoveSounds." The Jive set will be preceded by the single "SexyBack," which will be delivered July 7 to U.S. radio outlets. The track was co-written and co-produced by Timberlake with Timbaland and Nate Hills.

As for the new album, additional production was supplied by Rick Rubin and JAWBreakers, Timberlake's behind-the-boards duo with the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am.

will.i.am was at a loss to describe the project's musical direction when asked in January by Billboard.com. "I can't explain it, that's how dope it is," he said with a laugh. "He just surprised me again. I was surprised that I was even going to like Justin Timberlake. Then he turned me into a fan, and I've become a fan. That means you are so talented that you are changing people's vocabulary."

"FutureSex/LoveSounds" is the follow-up to 2002's "Justified," which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and has sold more than 3.5 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.


Timberlake is planning a U.S. club tour in August to unveil the new material.

The original title was:

Bring Bareback..back!

Well the CDis supposed to be called: Futuresexlovesound

So maybe the titles will all be weird.

he ain't the first hot, young pop star. he won't be the last hot, young pop star. his voice is nothing special...kinda skreechy if you ask me.

memo to justin: wherever "sexy" is, you should just go there and stay.

Jermaine Dupri is bringing sexy back in September.

Peace

I find it a little bit hard to believe that Rick Rubin will be invovled...then again...he prodcued the last Red Hot Chilli Peppers album....

BlaqueKnight said:

Oh brother, I knew some bitter bitch would bring that shit up again!

I can't wait to hear it!

it was a total mama's boy move and shouldn't be forgotten.

The Neptunes hooked him up last time. It'll be hard for him to top Justified. Then again maybe that was his Off the Wall.

Justin Timberlake's new single is called "Brotherhood" and his new album is called "Extra-ordinary." The new single is produced by Will I. Am and Timbaland.

Yeah, gotta say, lost lots of respect for JT after doing that. Janet even did the hook on one of his best tracks on Justified, "Take Me Now." and that is how he repays her, no no no. In my book..as far as music goes... Rule number 1) Don't fuck with MJ and Rule Number 2) Don't fuck with The Jacksons, period. (Extension of Rule Number 1)

Something tells me Michael was pretty unhappy about the whole Super Bowl drama, or actually, knowing how he thinks, he probably thought it was a plot to kill Janet's album. Either way, JT kind of violated rule number 1 and totally stepped the line with regard to rule number 2.
