Today’s From The Vault pick comes courtesy of the Pop force of that time – Justin Timberlake.
This week’s pick is the super slick ‘SexyBack.’
Served up as the first taste of JT’s 2006 sophomore album ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds,’ ‘Sexy’ was produced by Timbaland – who also features on the song.
The EDM-tinged single not only ushered in a new sound for Timberlake, but it was also very influential for the music landscape at large from 2006 to the end of the decade.
A global success, the track reached the #1 spot in the UK, Germany, Australia, and Canada. It spent seven consecutive weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100.
Additionally, ‘Sexy’ snagged a GRAMMY in 2007 for Best Dance Recording.
Michael Haussmann directed its accompanying visual, which featured Justin and actress Elena Anaya as two rival spies. Lensed in Barcelona, the clip successfully translates the song’s hyper-hectic sonics onto film.
The NSYNC alumnus won the most prizes at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards thanks to this video alongside those for subsequent singles ‘My Love’ and ‘What Goes Around.’

15+ years after literally ruling the charts, it seems the masses are not as on board with Timberlake as they once were.
From being branded a “culture-vulture” from some corners of the net to being held accountable for the way he treated both Britney Spears and Janet Jackson in the early 00s, it looks like the modern Pop cultural sphere is not quite ready to let JT’s early-day mishaps slide.
For yours truly, who has long been chanting #JusticeForJanet and questioned the seemingly automatic placement of Timberlake above his more naturally gifted peers, it’s slightly perplexing that this reckoning is so…retroactive.
Still, hits have been made and history has been written. So, kudos to Mr. Timberlake for dropping this banger.
Nicki Minaj is strutting forward with ferocity towards the release of her brand new single ‘Super Freaky Girl’ – which is due this coming Friday (August 12).
Before then, Onika joined forces with her Young Money comrades Drake and Lil Wayne in Toronto at the OVO Fest.
Beyond their collective showing, Minaj hit the stage solo and delivered a teaser showing of ‘Super Freaky Girl.’
Britney Spears has clapped back at her ex-husband Kevin Federline in the wake of the former dancer’s remarks about their teenage sons.
As reported, the 44-year-old sat down for an explosive interview – in which he said the controversial conservatorship “saved” the singer.
Most notable, though, was his seeming inference that Spears’ social media posts (such as nude selfies) had caused fractures with the former couple’s kids – Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Federline unpacked how their sons find it “tough” having to deal with the scrutiny at school and beyond. He added:
“The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now. It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding.”
40-year-old Spears took to Instagram to respond and didn’t hold back.
