If they’re anything like us, Justin Timberlake fans are simultaneously excited and confused by the rollout of his new album, ‘Man of the Woods’ (February 2), and its singles.
Kicked off by the funky cut ‘Filthy’ (and a kickass futuristic video to accompany it), the song could barely make an entrance on the Hot 100 before the Grammy winner was unveiling its follow-up, ‘Supplies.’ Now that ‘Supplies’ has had a few days to grace iTunes and Spotify charts respectively, Timberlake and team are already announcing its successor, ‘Say Something’ (as we reported here).
