News spread yesterday that Justin Timberlake was working on new music. Folks automatically started buzz that it would be a new album. His rep announced that this was not the case. Justin is just working a new music. Deets below.
Via Billboard:
For a hot minute, it looked like Justin Timberlake was finally in the studio working on his much-much-much-anticipated third album.
Producer Jim Beanz, who notably co-wrote Britney Spears' "Gimme More," updated UK site Digital Spy about progress being made on Timbaland's "Shock Value 3," a project that Timberlake is helping with. "It's still in the early stages, but they have a lot of tracks," Beanz stated. "While I've been over here in the UK they've been working, so by the time I get back they'll have a whole load of ideas and I'm going to have to catch up!" However, the headline "Justin Timberlake working on 'crazy' new album" caused mass head-scratching. New album by the man behind "FutureSex/LoveSounds"? Nope.
Timberlake's publicist tells Billboard that while it's true the superstar is collaborating with Timbaland, there are no plans for a third solo album.
Further, Timberlake is currently shooting a movie, "Runner, Runner," in Puerto Rico. Upon its release in 2006, "FutureSex/LoveSounds" peaked at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
Timberlake's solo debut, "Justified," peaked at No. 2 on both charts.
