Justin Timberlake is all dressed up and took to his Twitter page on Valentine's Day to announce the online premiere of the super sexy and slinky music video for his Jay-Z-featured comeback track, "Suit & Tie," his first single in six years after taking time out to focus on his movie career. This R&B throwback features a guest verse from Jay-Z, and the bass-heavy production stylings of Timbaland, is set to appear on Timberlake's upcoming long-awaited new record, "The 20/20 Experience," due out March 19.
The horn-tinged track "Suit & Tie," is a mid-tempo R&B song and a sleek dance number, finds singer singing about his love for being well-dressed. It begins with a slow-drawl intro consisting of slowed down synths and slightly out of time drum claps. The song then goes into a hypnotic, engaging outro before a great, cold ending. Lyrically, the song is an ode to the joys of being handsome and well-dressed.
According to the 32-year-old Timberlake: "The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process."
The black and white clip appears very grandiose with its vintage look and elaborate set design, helmed by famed director David Fincher, finds Timberlake get down in stylish and totally channels his best the Pack's president Sinatra impression in a Tom Ford tuxedo and bow tie, where he performs with a full band and back-up dancers in a concert hall, similar to what he brought to his Grammy performance on Sunday. Then, when Jay-Z joins him for his rap verse in the song, they move to a swanky night club set complete with sexy backup dancers.
