‘Justified’ Is Truly A Great Record

Polly Vernon of the Observer was on hand when Justin Timberlake previewed his new album ‘Justified’ to reports in Los Angeles. Vernon called the album, “Inventive and instant, grindingly raw and sexy, it’s a truly great record. It’s intensely R’n'B and hip-hop influenced, yet it doesn’t sound like anything else. Except maybe Prince when he was very good, or Stevie Wonder’s ‘Songs In The Key Of Life’, or Michael Jackson’s ‘Off The Wall’. Timberlake’s voice is honey-dipped and sweet and achingly right, and every song is produced by one of a long list of extraordinarily cachet people – Timbaland, The Neptunes, Bubba Sparx and P Diddy.” Read more, including comments from Timberlake, here.
