OH MY GAWD.... HE'S BACK!

INDEED... JUSTIN has returned with the SEXY!

King Timberlake returned to the pop music throne last night, playing MARK CUBAN'S DIRECT TV party... and bringing with him a decidedly retro sound which could make some pop radio programmers nervous that the vintage 40's and 50's R&B inspired modern music might not fit so well between the dubsteps and such which currently rule the airwaves in the states.

No matter however... his new sound and music is amazing. Timberlake, backed by a string band he called the "Tennessee Kids" featured new music from his upcoming cd and more.

Sexy back? Indeed.
