睽違而久，美國知名男歌手 Justin Timberlake（JT）終於在 2013 年 1 月 14 日發表了全新個人單曲《Suit & Tie》，正式以個人身份重返國際樂壇。距離上一張個人大碟《FutureSex/LoveSounds》已有接近七年時間，雖然 JT 不斷在其他歌手的作品上作客串演出，期間更參與多套電影拍攝，例如《The Social Network》，《Trouble with the Curve》和《Friends with Benefits》等，卻一直未有聽聞他錄製新專輯的消息。直至去年夏天，JT 才正式重返錄音室，著手籌備新專輯《The 20/20 Experience》並展開錄音工作。而這首屬於新專輯的第一支單曲就請來美國饒舌歌手 Jay-Z 參與合作，歌曲與 JT 過往的作品風格相約，編曲華麗豐富，加上他出色的真假音轉換技巧，令人按捺不住跟著節奏搖擺身體。《Suit & Tie》又符合你對 JT 的期望嗎？細聽作品後不妨將你的想法告知我們！此外，JT 亦特別為這次回歸親自摘寫了一封信獻給一眾樂迷，全文可以在下面觀看。

An Open Letter to you (the fans):

I hope this gets to you the right way. It’s the only way I know to do it. Some people may criticize me for the last 3 days. But it was fun, right?? Right?!?! Besides, I’d rather speak directly to all of you. And, who can knock me for having a little bit of fun with it?

Well… No more teasing. Although, it was A LOT of fun. (Did I mention that I’m having fun with this?? Ha!)

*Makes a serious face*
So, here goes:
This year is an exciting one for me. As you probably have heard through the “grapevine,” I’m gearing up for a big 2013.
Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now, my next journey with that thing I love called MUSIC.
The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn’t expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I’ve had in my career… Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process.
What I came up with is something I couldn’t be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I’ve discovered along the way.
I’m calling it “The 20/20 Experience,” and it’s coming out this year.
I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.
That’s all I’m giving you for now… I know, I know! Again, with the teasing!!!
Get ready. This is going to be fun (well, at least it is for me).
