Justin Timberlake's been out of the game for 6 years, making appearances in films, and probably just spending money on nice food and premium shaving products. Then, one day, someone asked him if he was done with music...
See, that's the thing, is that true Justin? Did someone really ask you that, spurring you on to make an enigmatic video, which basically just announces you're going to make another album? Justin didn't answer us, by the way. "Someone asked me the other day, 'So are you just done with music?'" the 31-year-old said in a new video, posted to his website on Thursday. "[But] I don't wanna put anything out that I don't love ... You have to wait for it." Timberlake walks through through a building, not facing the camera. "Look I've only done two albums in 10 years," he continues. "I'm the one that sits and is obsessive about it before you even get to hear it," Justin turns round to face the camera, headphone on. "I'm ready."
And now to answer the question posited in the headline: it's annoying. The spontaneity and enigma the video tries to convey is negated by the fact Justin and his PR people would have sat down and discussed this at length. It would have been rehearsed, shot and mastered. The world hasn't missed the music of Timberlake enough to warrant a countdown. It just hasn't. We wish Justin all the best with his musical return, but he should have taken the Destiny's Child route and just shown excitement and enthusiasm; it translates better than moody enlightenment.
