Justin Timberlake rekindles his love affair with music on The 20/20 Experience. JT brings back the sexy synergy with production gurus Timbaland and J-Roc — “Tunnel Vision,” “Spaceship Coupe” and “Don’t Hold the Wall” are at once primal and futuristic pop excursions. He pours his falsetto into soul (“That Girl”) and over Latin beats (“Let the Groove In”). The 20/20 Experience shows Justin in full focus, reunited with his first love and it feels so good.
JT recently hosted SNL for the fifth time, joining the five-timer club along with Tom Hanks, Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, Martin Short, Paul Simon, Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase.

UPDATE: Check for a performance of “Mirrors” after the jump as well.
