Title: Justin: the new Michael?
Review: I am not a fan of pop music because most pop tends to .... However, the boys from N*Sync almost hit something with their last disc, bringing back the style of funky pop, but falling just short of a creative break-through. Justin Timberlake, backed by the boys of the Neptunes, almost breaks that barrier once again, but making a much deeper dent. With his solo debut, Timberlake fashions an excellent blend of hip-hop and pop that harkens back to the pinnacle of the great Michael Jackson's recordings. His tight harmonies and often funky beats bring even the most staunchly anti-pop listener to head bop. High points of the album include the bouncy "Right for Me", "Senorita", and the bitter, "Cry Me A River." Don't fault the guy for his past, because he may have a very creative future.R.I.Y.L.: Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, N*Sync's "Pop", Musiq, Raphael Saadiq
