Justin Timberlake has announced the tracklist and accompanying tour for his forthcoming album, dubbed Man of the Woods, and now offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind it.

Featuring black and white in-studio footage of Justin Timberlake, producers Pharrell and Timbaland alongside other contributors, the nearly four-minute clip also features some full-color footage, possibly from an upcoming music video. At one point, Timberlake can be seen in the booth laying down some auto-tuned vocals, and elsewhere lays down a rhythm guitar part while wearing a CDG Play T-shirt. Occasionally, the video cuts to a documentary-style viewpoint in which Timberlake shares his thoughts on the album, stating, “I think the album has a wide range of sonics to it, but I guess I would describe it as modern Americana with 808s.”

Check out the clip above and take a listen to the album’s first single, “Filthy.”
