Goodness he's starting to look like an old, unattractive average Joe.

I don't think SZA is an answer for his career save, another dude who has been so overrated.

[Dammn Baby]

Trolls World Tour. Are he and Robin Thicke co-headlining?

[Crimsonio]

he looks like he's 50+ already yikes

[breathingrande]

Lets hope Max & Shellback worked on this

[ClevelandRox]

Yall act like his looks haven't always been subpar at best.

[Juan Carlos]

Premieres tomorrow at 11am. EST.

I wonder how our girl Duca feels about JT having second billing to SZA on the CSTF sequel.

Girl was entertaining.

Digitally serviced, impacting pop now

I had low expectation for this song, but it's surprisingly catchy, bringing back an 80's groove.

Awful

[Live Your Life]

It’s good enough. It has a nice groove to it. I’m particularly interested in seeing where it will take SZA’s career.

[Ling-Ling]

Surprisingly cute. Wasn't sure how SZA and Justin would mesh, but there's nothing awkward about it IMO.

It’s cute enough.

Reminds me of a 2020 version of “Love Sex Magic”. Justin taking the backseat to a female R&B singer on a throwback R&B song that’s fine but forgettable.

Yep, this is not bad, probably because it is mostly SZA and Timberlake vocals are buried under all kind of layers. I might start to like this one.

SZA’s career reminds me much of Normani. How she can only land collabs in the pop world.

This is an inaccurate statement.

Nowhere like Power Is Power.

Well, I don’t think her focus has ever been pop or being a popstar. I think she just kinda “fell” into it. I think she is doing well enough at pop. She needs to focus on her core fanbase at this point to solidify her career. I think the break has been too long and re-emerging on a pop song with JT nonetheless MIGHT be a bad move.

Not too long ago she had a Top 10 on Urban and Rhythmic with DJ Khaled.

So in the video Timberlake is still trying these "filthy" robot moves, doesn´t he realize that these already flopped hardly. Anyway the age has caught him even sooner than likes Madonna, who at the age of 39 was still on the top of her game.

[Linnethia Monique]

Solana is an absolute goddess in the video. When she hit that slight duck walk with the voguing 😍

[narp]

It isn’t bad but it really isn’t special at all. I can see it doing something (maybe a minor hit) because 80s style pop songs are coming back in style. Yikes at being from a kid’s movie soundtrack though. That could hurt it.

Tell that to Can't Stop the Feeling!, Happy, and Let It Go.

[RockaByeBaby]

Felt very underwhelming after the first listen/watch.

Fair enough, but it’s from the Trolls sequel. I have a feeling that since Frozen 2’s song “flopped”, this isn’t going to do any better. There’s no way to tell though.

Surprisingly catchy

"Into the Unknown" definitely didn't flop. "Let It Go" was just an extreme outlier. No Disney song before or since has performed like that or gotten a radio release*. "Can't Stop the Feeling" and "Happy," on the other hand, were treated like full fledged singles and it looks like this will receive the same treatment.

*This is regarding the actual song from the film only. A few "pop versions" of the songs did get the single treatment, but that hasn't been the case since the 90s with Alessia Cara's "How Far I'll Go" being the only exception.

This is amazing. Love it. Hope it smashes hard for SZA.
