“FutureSex/LoveSound.” The track thumped the speakers with its “Another One Bites the Dust”-like staccato beat, lyrical nods to INXS’ “Need You Tonight” (”All I need is a moment,” “Slide over here”) and sexually suggestive come-ons (”Tell me which way you like that”).
Sex stayed on the brain throughout the listening session — after all, it’s the focus of at least half of FutureSex. Timberlake reminds us that he’s a sex god, boasting “She’s going home with me tonight” in “LoveStoned/ I Think She Knows”; that he’s going “from Casanova to supernova” in “Damn Girl”; and reasserting that claim, saying it might “sound cocky, but it’s not really cocky if you know it’s true” in the chunky, funky “Sexy Ladies.”
But there was a sweet side to the album as well — the LoveSounds influence — which is most obviously found on the electro-Southern hip-hop of “My Love,” the slow jam “Until the End of Time” and “What Goes Around Comes Around.” The latter song sounds like it could fit alongside “Cry Me a River” on Timberlake’s Justified debut, with its drop rhythm and intricate call-and-response backing vocals. - MTV
Its good! The first track sounds like a Depeche Mode track. “My Love” is a faster Cry me a River sounding track. “Damn Girl” is worth a listen too!
