Justin Timberlake’s much-anticipated new album, “The 20/20 Experience,” was released all over the world on March 19. Is the album all it’s hyped up to be?
“The 20/20 Experience” includes ten songs, twelve on the Target exclusive. Most of the songs are over six minutes long. Although that may scare some people off, they are definitely worth the time.
Out of the ten songs on the album, there have already been two top five selling songs on iTunes. “Suit and Tie” almost immediately jumped to number one when released, and “Mirrors” has already reached top five and is still climbing.
Favorite songs from the album are “Don’t Hold The Wall” and “Strawberry Bubblegum.” “Don’t Hold The Wall” is a solid song all the way through, especially the male and female conversation parts and the chorus. In “Strawberry Bubblegum,” the final two minutes put the song into the favorites category.
“I think the album is good. It has some really upbeat songs, but also some slower and more meaningful ones,” senior Emily O’Reilly said. “I would rate it a 7 out of 10, but Justin Timberlake is hot, so that automatically makes it a 10 out of 10.”
This album has a nice pop feel to it, but it isn’t too obnoxious. JT also mixes it up with a slower song titled “Blue Ocean Floor.”
The 20/20 Experience Part 2 has officially been announced for release later this year, which exciting news after hearing part one. This album is definitely all it is hyped up to be.
