Justin Timberlake Previews Five New Songs In Album Trailer
The 'Filthy' singer takes fans into 'Man Of The Woods' before it drops next month...
Justin Timberlake has decided to send fans into cardiac arrest on this fine Tuesday afternoon by dropping a whole album preview.
The pop legend has unveiled a behind-the-scenes video following the making of his upcoming fifth album Man of the Woods and it features plenty of new music.
Besides the previously teased 'Supplies' and 'Higher, Higher', it's hard to identify most of the songs based on the tracklisting but they all sounds incredible.
If you know what's good

Go on and put your filthy hands all over me
No, this ain't the clean version
Do you see me?
Can you find me?
Look closer, through the trees
Do you see it?
JT's voice is as impressive as ever as we watch him harmonising in the studio and hitting high notes we could only dream of being able to do with his insane falsetto.
Elsewhere we see him playing guitar and piano as he builds the Southern-sounding songs with Pharrell and Timbaland in the studio, and Pharrell can't quite believe what they're creating at several points in the video.
The legendary talent proclaims "Listen, that is a smash!” at one point, which is probably about right as all of the songs previewed here have gotten us very excited for the album.
Since Man of the Woods was announced with an outdoorsy trailer, fans have been speculating that Timberlake has moved onto a country sound, abandonding the R&B he does so well.
Here, JT makes clear what he's made, saying: “I think the album has a wide range of sonics to it but I guess I would describe it as modern-Americana-with-808s.” Nice and easy!
'Supplies' is reportedly dropping this Friday and we are set to hear another two songs before the album is released in full on February 2nd.

And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart
And is it too much to ask for every Sunday
If I were radical and every other day to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, while you beating
But I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Now how about I'd be the last voice you hear at night?
And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are
Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me
'Cause I know that's a good place to start
I know people make promises all the time
Then they turn right around and break them
When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, while you beating
Don't you know I could be that guy to heal it over time
And I won't stop until you believe it
'Cause baby you're worth it
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me
'Cause you might fuck around and find your dreams come true, with me
Spend all your time and your money just find out my love was free
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me
Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me
