Justin Timberlake Attempts to Say Something Profound...and Falls Flat on 'Supplies': Watch

Just two weeks ago, Justin Timberlake officially launched the latest era of his career with “Filthy,” his first new single in almost two years. Today, the singer is back with another new tune, and this time he’s got something to say...or, he wants to, anyway.

“Supplies” is the second song released from Timberlake’s upcoming album Man of the Woods, which is expected on February 2. The track itself is another sign that while the pop star hinted that Americana and perhaps even country would dominate his record, that’s not turning out to be the case. The tune is pure trap infused with a guitar chord, which is about as close to indie-folk as we’ve heard from the singer this year.

The video that was released at the same time as the song is filled with thought-provoking imagery and pop culture references, but it’s not entirely clear what Timberlake or director Dave Meyers are trying to say. The clip opens with the musician staring at a bank of TVs which reference many big issues of the day, such as sexual violence (Harvey Weinstein), political unrest (Donald Trump) and the Black Lives Matter movement (a number of protests and scenes of potential police brutality).
