Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience” is just hitting stores today, but MTV reported on March 18 that the singer already has a sequel ready for release in the fall. Rumors have swirled online ever since details were released showing the numerically-named album contained only ten tracks. A spokesman with the singer’s record label could not be reached for comment.
“20/20 Vol. 2 comes out in Nov. 10 songs now … 10 songs later = 20 vision,” Root's drummer Questlove posted online after hanging with Justin on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” last week.
“The 20/20 Experience” has garnered mixed reviews ahead of its release today. Critics have not been overly kind to the album, but fan reaction has generally been very positive. Some are turned off by the albums unique sound, but others are glad Justin did not take the easy route and just release a dance pop album that sounded like everything else on the market.
The Timbaland-produced album is Timberlake’s first in 6 years following a break the singer took to pursue an acting career. He was well-received in Hollywood and starred in the hit films “Bad Teacher," "Alpha Dogs" and "Friends with Benefits.” Justin also married his long-time girlfriend Jessica Biel during this music sabbatical.
UPDATE 3/20/13: Justin Timberlake confirmed the sequel project to Ryan Seacrest during his iHeartRadio promotional concert.
