Thania Garcia Justin Timberlake has recruited a slate of collaborators including Nigerian singer Fireboy DML, rapper and singer Tobe Nwigwe and his former NSYNC bandmates for his upcoming new album, “Everything I Thought It Was.” Timberlake teased NSYNC’s involvement in his first solo album in five years on TikTok last week, responding to an eagle-eyed fan who had caught the band name on the tracklist while Timberlake was previewing the set’s deluxe vinyl edition.
NSYNC is featured on a single called “Paradise,” which is the band’s second single of the decade following “Better Place,” a song featured on the “Trolls Band Together” soundtrack.
The group — Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Timberlake — announced their reunion just last year while on stage at the MTV VMAs, where they presented the award for best pop to Taylor Swift for “Anti-Hero.” Since then, Timberlake has been hinting at new music from NSYNC, reminding audiences that the band had been spending time together in the studio for something that would come at a later date.
Set for release on March 15, “Everything I Thought It Was” opens with a track called “Memphis,” in homage to the singer’s hometown, and another called “F**kin’ Up the Disco.” Comprised of 18 tracks, the album was preceded by its first single, “Selfish,” which premiered at a special concert in Timberlake’s hometown of Memphis.
