OMG: Justin Timberlake recording third solo album next year?
OK, before you read this post, take a deep breath and chant “serenity now” several times to yourself. Continue until you have reached a calm and relaxed state of mind, and then proceed onto the text below.
One of Justin Timberlake’s stans, fed up with the singer’s reluctance to talk about his solo music career, bombarded producer Timbaland’s recently-opened Twitter account with tweets about Justin’s next album. Timbo was gracious enough to reply, revealing that the pair were planning to reunite “next year”, which, thank God, isn’t that far away now.
Meanwhile, Justin hinted at a music comeback at his recent annual charity concert in Vegas, performing Drake’s “Over” and then saying to the crowd:
“Don’t be pissed off that I’m an actor, it’s not over. And when I come back, I’m come harder. Cause that’s right, I’m doing me. I’m living life right now man and this what I’m gonna do til it’s over, but it’s far from over.”
Speaking of Drake, the rapper just announced that he’s been in talks with Justin about doing a song together, and that it’s likely to happen soon. While he didn’t go into specifics, one would automatically assume that the collaboration would most likely be for Drake’s upcoming sophomore album, but at least it’s better than nothing.
If Timbaland’s Tweet about reuniting for Justin’s new record next year are accurate, then it would certainly fall in line with JT’s schedule. He’s currently tied up with several film projects, but one look at his IMDB page shows that they should all be wrapped up early into next year.
Fingers crossed.
By the way, was anybody else obsessed with “I’m Lovin’ It” back in the day and furious that it wasn’t on Justified?
