Justin Timberlake to Delight Istanbul Fans This Summer at ITU Stadium
Justin Timberlake's album is filled with the atmosphere of his early musical achievements, especially his time with the boy band 'N SYNC and his debut solo project "Justified". Funky basslines, rhythmic beats and catchy melodies harken back to the golden days of pop music in the early 2000s, when Justin was called the "Prince of Pop". Songs like “Paradise” (featuring NSYNC) and “Sanctified” (featuring Tobe Nwigwe) evoke fond memories of the past.
As a husband and father of two, Timberlake shares his thoughts on love, marriage, and family values. Tracks like “Selfish” and “Drown” touch on the complexities of romantic relationships, while “Infinity Sex” and “Technicolor” reveal a more sensual side of the artist. The album is not without its moments of introspection, as Timberlake reflects on his mistakes, lessons learned, and personal growth. Songs like “No Angels” and “Memphis” show a more vulnerable and introspective side of him.
“Everything I Thought It Was” stands out for its variety of guest artists, giving the album depth. The reunion of legendary group NSYNC on the track "Paradise" has become one of the most anticipated moments of the album, returning fans to the era of boy bands. Previously, Justin was invited by his colleagues to perform together, but he said that he outgrew their music. Rapper Tobe Nwigwe brings a unique style and energy to the song "Sanctified", creating a memorable duet. The hero acknowledges his wild nature at the beginning of the track, comparing himself to an animal whose place is in the wild; the composition is dedicated to salvation and forgiveness.
Nigerian singer Fireboy DML adds Afrobeat rhythms to the track "Liar", giving the album an international flavor. This track has already won the award for Best International Music Collaboration at the African Arts Entertainment Award.
"Everything I Thought It Was" is a multifaceted and personal work that demonstrates Timberlake's evolution as an artist. He skillfully combines nostalgia with modern sounds and themes, reflecting his personal growth and maturity. Despite mixed reviews from critics, this album became an important milestone in Justin Timberlake’s career, demonstrating his ability to adapt to the changing world of pop music. The album allows listeners to look into the artist’s world - his thoughts, feelings and memories - making it more personal compared to his previous works. This is not just a return to music; it is a journey into himself, rethinking the past with a new outlook on the future. Today, Timberlake’s name is associated with high-quality popular music, and all of his projects cause a storm of emotions among devoted fans. Buy tickets to the Justin Timberlake concert right now!
