Justin Timberlake Unleashes New ‘TKO’ Single

Justin Timberlake who has the best-selling album of the year with “The 20/20 Experience” that he released in March is not yet satisfied.

Timberlake wants to continue his winning streak with the follow-up “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2” that will be released on September 30 via RCA.

After the project’s first single “Take Back the Night” failed to blow up the charts like Mr. Timberlake’s previous tracks, the “Mirrors” singer unleashed the second single on Thursday.

It is a track called “TKO” that was produced by his frequent collaborator Timbaland. The legendary producer can even be heard at the beginning of the song.

“TKO” is a nice cross between disco and hip-hop that is over seven minute long.

The former ‘N Sync leader has repeatedly stated that his new album will be slightly darker in spirit than the first part that sounded more upbeat and took a sunnier look on things.

If his artistic goals are laudable – it is not certain that music fans will respond with the same fervor to the new songs.

“The 20/20 Experience” came after a long musical hiatus for the singer turned actor and part 2 may appear repetitive to those looking to justify some kind of Justin fatigue.

“TKO” that debuted online last night was not met with a huge enthusiasm. This could be temporary, since a 7-minute track might be too much to digest in the Twitter age.

In ten days we will be able to make a full assessment, when “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2” is made available in full.

In related Justin Timberlake news, he is also promoting his new movie “Runner, Runner” a crime-drama with Ben Affleck that was produced by Leonardo DiCaprio.

The film opens in theater on October 4. While promoting this thriller type flick in Brazil earlier this month, an entertainment reporter named Sabrina Sato gave the married artist a mold of her derriere.

Timberlake’s reaction at the five-minute mark in the video below is priceless.
