Here’s new music to take a listen to this week. Some maybe from artists you are familiar with while others might be artists you want to explore.
1Justin Timberlake
The Tennessee native just released a new song “Selfish.” Timberlake shared the meaning behind the song ABC news reports, “We were talking about the song itself and just breaking down the idea that you just don’t hear that from men often, that they would express an emotion that makes them vulnerable,” Justin stated. “And then growing up the way I grew up, you’re taught not to do that.”
While fans were hoping for a NSYNC tour announcement this year, Timberlake announced a world tour starting this spring.
