Justin Timberlake to perform at ITU Stadium in Istanbul

Justin Timberlake, whose name has become synonymous with pop music in the new millennium, began his career as a child, appearing on the TV shows Star Search and The Mickey Mouse Club. However, his real fame came to him as a member of the boy band NSYNC. During their seven-year career (1995 to 2002), NSYNC achieved significant success, including two diamond albums. Their 2000 song It's Gonna Be Me reached number one on the Billboard 100. However, it was at the peak of the band's popularity in 2002 that Timberlake announced that he was leaving to pursue a solo career. It was there that Timberlake honed his vocal and dance skills, learned to work in a team and acquired millions of fans around the world, so he didn’t start his solo career from scratch, but with experience in a boy band. 

The albums “Justified” and “FutureSex/LoveSounds” cemented Timberlake’s superstar status, demonstrating his musical maturity and innovative approach to pop music. He was not afraid to mix genres, experiment with electronics and hip-hop, which made his sound unique and recognizable.

“Everything I Thought It Was”, in support of which the singer is currently on a major tour, is the sixth studio album by American singer and songwriter Justin Timberlake, released on March 15, 2024. The new album is Timberlake's return to dance pop and R&B, with elements of funk and soul that have always been characteristic of his sound. The album, according to the artist himself, explores themes of growing up, love, family and self-knowledge. It is a reflection on the path taken and a look into the future. The album featured various producers and songwriters, including Timbaland, with whom Timberlake has collaborated over the years, creating such hits as Cry Me a River and SexyBack. This helped create a diverse and dynamic sound. Louis Bell, Andrew Roberts, Rob Knox, Angel Lopez, Ryan Tedder, Timbaland, Federico Windwer and Rio Root participated in the work on the album. Nigerian singer Fireboy DML performed several joint compositions with Timberlake, and the new disc also features joint compositions with American rapper Tobe Nwigwe and the recreated boy band NSYNC, with whom Justin sang the track "Paradise". The style of the songs on the album varies from energetic dance tracks to slower and more intimate ballads. The lyrics are often personal, reflecting Timberlake's experiences and thoughts about different stages of his life. The album contains echoes of his past works, as well as new experiments with sound and arrangements. Today, Justin Timberlake continues to actively engage in music, acts in films and is engaged in business. He remains one of the most influential and sought-after artists of our time. His work has had a huge impact on the development of pop music, and his name is forever inscribed in the history of the music industry.
