Justin Timberlake teases new music as he tells Jimmy Fallon ‘I’ve been in and out of the studio’

Justin Timberlake is working on a new album.

The 39-year-old singer and actor revealed he has been in the studio recently, working on the follow-up to 2018’s Man of the Woods. 

When asked by host Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, whether it would be correct to say that ‘a new Justin Timberlake album’ in the works, Justin replied, ‘Yeah, we can say that.

‘There’s a possibility. Let’s go with yes – I’ve been in and out of the studio working on stuff.’

However, Justin insisted he is not in a huge rush to release any new music, as he likes to take his time with his material. 

He explained: ‘I sat on Mirrors for like, four or five years. I think I just take my time, maybe that’s my barometer — if I still love them as much when time goes by, hopefully people will after they hear them, when time goes by.’ 

And Justin, who recently welcomed second son Phineas with wife Jessica Biel, revealed his dream collaborators for the album would include Kendrick Lamar and Travis Scott.

Fallon replied: ‘That would be a good mix.’ 

Meanwhile, Justin’s new Apple TV+ drama, Palmer, just dropped on the streaming platform this week.

He plays Eddie Palmer, a former high-school football star whose bad decisions land him in prison, with few options when he gets out.

When he returns to his grandmother’s house in a small Southern town to try to build a life, he meets Sam, the charismatic eight-year-old boy next door who’s bullied for sometimes dressing like a girl and enjoying dolls and tea parties.

When Sam’s mother leaves town, Palmer reluctantly steps in to care for the boy.
