@hiphopraparchive: Justin Timberlake and Timbaland completely reinvented the sound of pop with “SexyBack.” Released in 2006, the track marked a bold departure from Timberlake’s smoother R&B sound, embracing distorted synths, heavy electronic beats and Timbaland’s unconventional production. Created during the sessions for Timberlake’s FutureSex/LoveSounds album, the song pushed boundaries and helped define the sound of mid-2000s pop. With its instantly recognisable opening and confident delivery, “SexyBack” became a global hit and earned Timberlake his first solo number-one on the Billboard Hot 100. #JustinTimberlake #Timbaland #SexyBack #PopMusic #MusicHistory
