Justin Timberlake Back In Studio, According To US Producer

Written by Elliott Batte
R&B star Justin Timberlake has finally returned to the recording studio, according to reports on Digital Spy.
The American superstar has been rather quiet on the music front in the past couple of years, and hasn’t released his own solo album since ‘Future Sex/Love Sounds’ came out in 2006. But now, his friend and seemingly producer-to-be Jim Beanz has claimed that he’s in the studio with Timbaland - and that he’d be joining Timberlake to work on some tracks later in the year.
“When I get back to the States I'm going to be helping out on ‘Shock Value 3’ with Timbaland and the Justin Timberlake project,” he told the site. “It's still in the early stages, but they have a lot of tracks. 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! He has some crazy, crazy stuff.”
He went on to talk about the pressures of Timberlake emulating the success of his previous albums - or the lack of them.
“There are certain artists who live in the moment and the reason why FutureSex/LoveSounds was so amazing is because he didn't try to top Justified. There are certain artists who can get inside with great charisma and energy and make great music every time. So it's not really about topping the last record, it's more about topping music that comes on the radio. Everything is so similar that it's about topping that and doing something different, and that's what they are going for. He's going to kill it.”
