Who would have thought that we’d be listening to a new Justin Timberlake leak on his birthday? Happy JT’s B-Day to you: I give you “Better Not Together.”
Actually, all props go to Big Mike and DJ Neptune and their Kings of R&B Part 2 mixtape which also wields a new Rihanna track. Is this song new? It’s hard to say. The JT fan in me tells me that “Better Not Together” sounds like something out of the Justified outtakes. Yet, Big Mike and DJ Neptune claim this is a “world premiere.” But hey — it can always be a world premiere of an old demo right? I’ll let you decide for yourselves.
What I do know is that “Better Not Together” has a lovely R&B throwback feel to it, that we sometimes enjoy from JT. This new leak has nothing on the previous one, “Bigger Than The World,” which I have hardcore love for. However, I don’t think either song accurately depicts the JT album that we will be hearing later this year. But you should still listen to it below:

yea… now lets get a listen at the new Lonley island Album that he probably produced every beat on. That would be an even better birthday present.
hahaha.
that would be amazing.
yeah, i can dig this. i wonder if its new? i kind of hoped for a more futuresex/lovesounds feel.
love following you on twitter. the new podcast sounds awesome, btw.
oh and yeah.. this song was okay, I usually expect much better from JT though.
i listened to this without reading the entire post and thought the exact same thing, that it had a “justified” feel to it. it’s alright for now, nothing mind blowing that punches me in stomach and knocks me off of my feet.
I love the song. I really loved Bigger Then the World too. I think this is from the Justified era though too. Too bad he hadn’t used this on Justified.
both the two previous leaks are demos for females listen to the lyrics!!
sounds like Dru Hill’s “beauty is her name”
he looks like madonna in the album cover
thanks for the link to my blog! i appreciate that!
greetz, mario
I realy do think that this song written about Brit ..
