Justin Timberlake has established himself as one of pop's most versatile craftspeople, and Everything I Thought It Was sees him leaning hard into funk and soul influences. Released in 2024, this double album finds JT collaborating with contemporary producers to craft a sound rooted in the grooves of '70s funk and modern hip-hop aesthetics. "Technicolor" stretches past seven minutes with synth-driven production, while tracks like "F**kin' Up The Disco" and "No Angels" showcase his ability to navigate contemporary RandB and pop rap without losing the meticulous craftsmanship that defines his work. This is JT operating at the intersection of mainstream accessibility and genuine sonic exploration.
