need something soulful or danceable on the next one
No Angels soon!
I might be underrating Justin Timberlake as an artist so I could be wrong
But hasn't he always been like pretty safe for each era he was in
Like it always made sense with the current musical landscape and wasn't especially creative or crazy
Like he is good at it but it was always been safe
safe is the last word i would use to describe fsls & 20/20 pt 1
I’d disagree. I think he’s always been pretty ambitious compared to his contemporaries pre-motw. A song like Lovestoned just isn’t ordinary. Mirrors as a radio single? Bit nuts when you think about it.
I mean
Mirrors being long was something I guess
But sound wise it was not bizarre
he just old and washed up and just coasting off of his name atp
everyone falls off, it's inevitable lol

yes and no
the singles for his first album were very much of the time
but they were done at such a high level, and having timbaland by his side definitely helped him get some experimental credibility (cry me a river has a god damn Gregorian chant)
i will say tho futuresex on the other hand was him being a trailblazer, setting up the sound for the 2nd half of the decade. idt he’s had a moment that big or influential since, but like thats fine, the album is his opus after all

definitely not bizarre but I’d argue 20/20 and FS/LS set out to do something different from pop/r&b music at their respective times. I know for myself personally, those albums scratch an itch that no other pop albums do.

Perhaps I just haven't heard enough
It's always just sounded like pretty normal pop but with Timbaland or Pharrell beats or slightly longer
Which is something I guess
But I mean I'm not shocked by his new single being generic or safe because Timbaland and Pharrell aren't involved
he fell off too
but great artists pick themselves back up
Nas has 9 lives
peak timbo if you ask me
