Justin Timberlake’s ridiculously too long music hiatus is officially over! Check out his new single “Suit & Tie” featuring Jay-Z and tell me if you feel it was worth that wait…

LISTEN TO THE NEW SINGLE HERE

UPDATE/MY REVIEW: I was at work when I posted the song yesterday so I couldn’t really listen to it and give a proper review. Now that I have had some time to listen and sit with it I can tell you that this was NOT the comeback single I was expecting. It’s a nice, easy/breezy r&b jam but nothing that’s going to make me want to run out and by the new album if it were available today. I’m hoping this is just a “buzz” single and they real show-stopper will follow shortly after but I’m pretty sure that isn’t the case. The good news is that while the song hasn’t even been released for a full day yet, it has already sky-rocketed to #1 on iTunes. Will the song have the staying power to top the Billboard Hot 100 as well as some other prestigious charts?? Time will tell but I’m guessing the novelty of having a new Justin Timberlake single after 7 years will run out pretty fast and he’ll need to change into a new ensemble to keep our attention.

RATING: 3/5
