{"product_id":"futuresex-lovesounds","title":"FutureSex \/ LoveSounds","description":"Music critics and highbrow listeners may look down their nose at Justin Timberlake, doubting that the celebrated former N'Sync leader is good for more than light, frothy dance-pop. Timberlakes's sophomore effort, FUTURESEX\/LOVESOUNDS, should make both camps rethink that stance. While the album certainly sets out to entertain, it's also full of ambitious, well-constructed grooves that prove the superstar is serious about getting down and dirty. The album steps up the Michael Jackson-influenced sound of JUSTIFIED by delving deeper into club music, hip-hop, and funk, creating a bumping, writhing soundtrack for a set of songs unabashedly about sex.\u003cbr\u003eTimberlake spared no expense recruiting some of the best producers on the scene. Beatmaker extraordinaire Timbaland is a primary collaborator, and his experimental stutter-funk landscapes make for the album's best moments (the title track, for example, or the spare, driving lead-off single \"Sexyback\"). Early Prince is a major touchstone for much of the disc, but Timberlake also draws on rolling, Dirty South jams (\"Chop Me Up\") and smooth, urban-contemporary loverman R\u0026amp;B (\"My Love\"). Its obsession with the bedroom notwithstanding, FUTURESEX\/LOVESOUNDS shows Timberlake moving toward an exciting musical maturity.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42036741996709,"sku":"828768806210","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/e214fb8351067ec87eae04edec437516_475f4dfa-be75-4806-b450-2a6ce51b5ffc.jpg?v=1779540211","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-de\/products\/futuresex-lovesounds","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
