Justin Timberlake Talks New Music: 'It Punches You Between the Eyes'

Justin Timberlake has been busy being a new father and making kids' movies lately, but the singer/actor is ready for a musical return. In an interview with Variety, he gives a hint of what we can expect. “I wouldn’t say [my new material] is the antithesis of ‘20/20,’ but it does sound more singular,” he says. 

“If ‘20/20’ sounded like it literally surrounds your entire head, this stuff feels more like it just punches you between the eyes.” The 20/20 Experience, Timberlake's third album (released in 2013), was soulful, brooding and sexy—a complete shift from this year's "Can't Stop the Feeling." But the change naturally came from a new life experience.
