Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981), occasionally known by his initials JT, is an American singer, songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer.
Raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child. In the late 1990s, Timberlake rose to prominence as one of the two lead vocalists and youngest member of NSYNC, which eventually became one of the best-selling boy bands of all time.
Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an artist with the release of his debut solo album, the R&B-focused Justified (2002), which yielded the successful singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body", and earned his first two Grammy Awards.
Nelly Furtado Talks Return to Music, Working With Dom Dolla for ‘Eat Your Man’ and Why Drake Told Her to ‘Boss Up’
variety.comThania Garcia Nelly Furtado gives fans the first taste of her long-anticipated return to music with the release of her new Dom Dolla-produced single — and her first in five years — titled “Eat Your Man.” Furtado pays lyrical homage to some of her most recognizable hits (ahem, “Maneater”) in the hypnotic club anthem that marks her re-entrance into the limelight. “I have been making new music solid, nonstop for the last year the way I like to: late nights, space to create wildly and loads of community and collaboration,” Nelly tells Variety. “I am making a pop album influenced by sounds that I love.
My album touches on dance — I did a record with SG Lewis that I adore. T-Minus produced my Bomba Estereo song (T-Minus is a beast!) I am proud of that record.
One of my favorite tunes is produced by Wonda Gurl – I love her energy.” The story of “Eat Your Man” goes as follows: Nelly reached out to the Australian EDM producer after seeing they would both be headlining Australia’s 2022 Beyond The Valley Festival in Dom’s hometown.
During Nelly’s set, Dom played a mash-up of his funky, synth-infused track “Take It,” mixed with Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Nelly’s 2007 radio smash, “Give It To Me.” She later recruited the producer, whose sound she describes as resembling “butter — undeniably tasty,” and the two jumped on the opportunity of collaborating for Nelly’s album.
