Justin Timberlake is Back and He is "Filthy"!
By The Entertainment Editorial Team
JT is back! And ladies and gentlemen, he is filthy.
In anticipation of his upcoming fifth studio album as a solo artist, Man of the Woods, Justin TImberlake has announced he will release 4 new songs, each with an accompanying music video before the album's release on February 2nd. The first of these songs is "Filthy".
Produced by TImbaland and Danja, "Filthy" has an electrofunk sound that sounds a bit like "SexyBack" and some new N.E.R.D. It may not be lyrically complex, but its music video certainly was anything but simple in its production. Directed by Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go, One Hour Photo) , it stars JT as a Steve Jobs-like figure who presents an artificial intelligence who dances like its creator. This makes sense as its moves are done by Timberlake on the side of the stage.
Like some prior JT songs, "Filthy" has been divisive with listeners. Only time will tell if it becomes another "SexyBack". Take a look/listen for yourself below and let us know what you think in the comments section below.
