Justin Timberlake

I thought I would never like POP again. That was until I saw Justin Timberlake's video from FutureSex/LoveSounds album. The song is called What goes around.. comes around. The song is about infidelity and describes a scenario about how karma acts if you cheat on your lover. With Scarlett Johanson cheating on our Justin, the director decides to brutally kill her in an accident at the end of the video. Initially, I was disappointed on the climax, but when I checked the lyrics it was completely different. Lyrics are normal, kind-of with sadistic revenge instincts, but then are based on fundamental democratic views :P.(The interlude part). Anyway, the tune was catchy and I checked out other songs of the album only to be completely blown away by this artist's experimental music( to me atleast) . Just awesome!.. the following songs are must-checkout. Initially one may find them wierd.. but then reading those most simple lyrics gives such a fresh experience which I never was able to get in other pop or even Alternative/Rock.

After What Goes Around .. comes around, my favorites..

1. Love Stoned/I Think She Knows Interlude
This one is simply awesome with a complete rejuvenation in post-interlude part. These four lines are repeated so many times, I just cant seem to get enough of the beauty of the tunes both before and after interlude.

Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
She's got me love stoned
Man I swear she's bad and she knows
I think that she knows

2. FutureSex/LoveSound
This one seems to be a complete weird one, but great anyhow. There's a repetitive sound similar to the sound from the wheels on a railroad track. My fav. part of the tune is at these lyrics...

just tell me which way you like that
all you gotta do is tell me which way you like that
do you like it like this
do you like it like that

3. My Love
Good one. With catchy fast paced lyrics...

Because, I can see us holding hands
walking on the beach, our toes in the sand

I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side

You can be my baby
Wanna make ya my lady
Girl you amaze me
Ain't gotta do nothin' crazy

4. Sexy Back
Ok types. Can get quite addictive.


But then I hate that girly voice from the MALE artist, at times, infact most of the times. I find it quite gay of the artist
