I’m a big fan of surprise releases, and that’s just what Justin Timberlake served-up this week, announcing a February 2 release for his next LP, MAN OF THE WOODS. While an unexpected album announcement was news on its own, now comes the first single and a Mark Romanek-directed video. “Filthy” features Timberlake as a tech icon – a robot inventor with a Steve Jobs vibe – at a conference in the not-so-distant future. Check it out below…
If this first single is any indication of how the rest of the record will be, fortunately there doesn’t appear to be any hipster-folk action happening, despite the earthy log cabin and cornfield promo art. Look for more music from Justin Timberlake very soon…
