"The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs," Timberlake wrote in a letter to fans.

"It was probably the best time I've had in my career... Just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process," he went on. "What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way."
The highly anticipated album will be Timberlake's first since "Future Sex/Love Sounds," which he released in 2006.
