Justin
Timberlake rose to fame in the late 90s as a member of hugely popular US
vocal group 'N Sync, with whom he enjoyed a string of best-selling singles
and albums. Timberlake became the most prominent member of the group owing
to his personal relationship with teen pop queen Britney Spears, although
by the time he launched his solo career in late 2002 the celebrity couple
had endured a very public split. Timberlake hooked up with prominent urban
songwriting and production heavyweights the Neptunes and Timbaland, to
work on his debut album, with additional assistance from Brian McKnight
and Mario Winans. He co-wrote all of the material on 'Justified' in a
marked attempt to distance himself from 'N Sync's adolescent fan base and
woo a more mature audience. The debut single "Like I Love You'
featured verses provided by the Neptunes" protégés the Clipse, and
was eerily reminiscent of Michael Jackson in his mid-80s prime. The album
also included collaborations with Janet Jackson and Bubba Sparxxx. |
