Justin Timberlake

The Profile

Justin Timberlake is an American singer, songwriter, and actor who rose to fame with *NSYNC before launching a successful solo career with albums like Justified (2002), FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), and The 20/20 Experience (2013).

Known for collaborations with Timbaland and The Neptunes; major hits include "Cry Me a River," "SexyBack," "Mirrors," and "Suit & Tie." He has won multiple Grammy and Emmy Awards and has combined pop, R&B, and dance influences across his catalog.

Five reviews size up Timberlake’s leap from boy-band alumnus to pop-R&B frontman. FutureSex/LoveSounds splits the room, earning both praise and scorn. The 20/20 Experience is hailed as elegant mainstream pop with rich arrangements. Follow-up 2 of 2 leans funkier and punchier. Timbaland’s production is a constant lightning rod.
