Album art + tracklisting: Justin Timberlake - The 20 / 20 experience | randomjpop.blogspot.co.uk

This album cover makes a very bold statement. Not only is the majority of Justin's face obscured, but it doesn't feature his name in full. It shouts confidence and says a lot about how / where he see's himself positioned career wise right now.

It's the first of Justin's album covers which ties in with the name of the album itself. Justified had Justin posing in a waste land with a pipe in the background and FutureSex/LoveSounds had him putting his foot through a disco ball. This album is called The 20 / 20 experience and has him looking into one of a Phoropter. THE CONNECTION IS OBVIOUS. I like it. The only thing I hate is the font placement of the 'JT'. I think Justin could have gone one step further an omitted his initials completely.

The tracklist for this album looks / feels slim in comparison to FutureSex/LoveSounds' which totalled a 16 track count if you included the interludes and 2-in-1 song switches. Skimmed down track lists have become rather commonplace over the past couple of years. Particularly with Sony / RCA's releases. We're just spoilt really. Expecting 16 track albums all the time.

  1. Pusher love girl
  2. Suit & tie featuring Jay-Z
  3. Don't hold the wall
  4. Strawberry bubblegum
  5. Tunnel vision
  6. Spaceship coupe
  7. That girl
  8. Let the groove get in
  9. Mirrors
  10. Blue ocean floor

Credits for this album haven't surfaced yet, but Timbaland being all over this album is a dead cert and reportedly Justin had also booked studio time with The Neptunes and Bloodshy & Avant. I really hope Pharrell put his foot in this album, as it'd be great to hear what he cooks up for Justin. It's been over 10 years since they worked together and Pharrell broke Justin out solo in spectacular fashion with "Like I love you" - which remains one of my favourite Justin Timberlake joints to this day.
