Well it is. I'm all for the Pop heading towards a more minimal beat production, but this just sounds dated. If S&T is any indication that he needs to move on from Timbaland, this is just more proof
1. Fantastic but I sort of wish it ended at the 5:30 mark or whenever that "you are you are" shenanigans. Maybe the last 2 minutes or so serves as an interlude?
2. JTs song lengths have been long, is this a normal thing for him? Do they plan on cutting them for the radio? Does he acknowledge that pop radio listeners have short attention spans?
3. Does anyone think he would do this with the live band in concert? That would be incredible.
4. Who was he listening to when this album was being made, because those are good people if it influenced this.
