In February, pop-star Justin Timberlake played the SuperBowl halftime show shortly after releasing his new album.
That record was titled Man of the Woods, and its aesthetic focused on a bearded Timberlake channeling some country vibes into his pop beats while wearing a lot of flannel.
The former frontman of *NSYNC has now shaved his beard, jelled his hair and sourced some afrobeat vibes that would not sound out of place on a Drake record.

The result is “SoulMate”, a smooth slice of summer that is properly served on a sunny day, with sangeria on a patio.
Also, the cover art is amazing.
