Justin Timberlake's new single with Jay-Z coming out Monday?

[dyedred19]

I heard the single for the first time today (hey, I'm backward like that!), and I really like it. Not great, but still very good, although I could have done without the Jay-Z part. What I like most is that this, like the Destiny's Child single, looks back a few decades. I hope this is the beginning of a new trend!

I think this is what it wants to be, but it's really not. It takes all the necessary steps to get there, but it just sounds like the 2013 version of what a pop star thinks 60's/70's music sounds like.

I think you can go a little further and say that it's also not that divorced from what JT was doing in 2005/06. So it's the 2005/06 version of what a pop star thinks a 60s/70s song should sound like, in 2013.

I think it's leagues better than Nuclear. I can understand why people wouldn't like this song, but it's so fresh and smooth. My kind of R&B/pop.

And that intro!

Ha, yeah.

At least the sound of FutureSex/LoveSounds felt fresh in its own way. I have no doubt that the album will be great, but maybe not in the groundbreaking way I thought it might be.

I think Justin had a chance to do something really innovative with this record, and he still may have that up his sleeve, but "Suit & Tie" doesn't do anything to differentiate him from the Bruno Mars caricatures of current pop music.

I like Bruno, but his persona falls apart with a gust of wind.

[Critix]

Suit & Tie really doesn't sound like anything Bruno has ever done, though?

[dyedred19]

Oh, I'm not necessarily saying that. I think "Suit & Tie" is actually more the kind of music that Bruno wants to make. Or thinks he makes already.

Perhaps it's an unfair comparison, but I guess I'm just saying that with this release, Justin just kind of blends in.

After the six-minute mark, my panties are just...gone.

[bryan1311]

Girl, when are your panties ON?

[veritas]

Touché, B. Touché.

[wallyz]

This shit is all so basic.

[Vincent Blanchett]

After the six-minute mark, my panties are just...gone.

It's okay

[Aurelius]

Yeah, I turned this off after 90 seconds. Or more accurately, I skipped to the 6-minute mark, and while from then on it's cute, it's nothing special. Those first 90 seconds were utter shit though.

[Aurelius]

I think this is what it wants to be, but it's really not. It takes all the necessary steps to get there, but it just sounds like the 2013 version of what a pop star thinks 60's/70's music sounds like.

But... it is a 2013 song that tries to modernize back the sound of both the 60s (the unmistakable Philly influences) and the 80s (the singing style)? It doesn't try to be an exact copy, but it is onbviously influenced, and by exactly the right era's (in my book, that is).

[raguabros]

I'm in love with Mirrors! Better than S&T which i also love.

[City Lights]

I really like Mirror, especially compared to S&T, but I can see why people are disappointed. It's nothing new and pales in comparison to FSLS.

[Largo]

That was terrible. Like, what in the actual hell was that?

[Disco Wolf]

I like the new song, but I'm still waiting for something to blow me the eff away. The second half is really lovely. And I cannot wait for "Pusher Love Girl" after last night's performance.

[siowafc]

LOL, why is that song 8 minutes long?!

I'm scared to even start it!

[Trip Fontaine]

I guess if you don't really like Jessica Biel, then you're not going to be into this album.

What?
