Single Review: Justin Timberlake - Take Back The Night

After a 7 year hiatus from solo music and a sudden announcement that his musical return was indeed happening, expectations were high when the star unleashed 'Suit & Tie' on the world. Meeting a mostly positive response, the star has seemingly met those expectations as his latest album is currently the best selling album of the year so far. Hoping to carry on the success, the singer didn't leave much time before dropping new song, 'Take Back The Night', the first single from 'The 20/20 Experience - 2/2'

Clocking in at almost 6 minutes, must like the majority of the songs on his latest effort, Timberlake giving us retro disco realness. Over a disco, big brass beat with funky horns and synths smooth as butter, the song is practically a leftover from Michael Jacksons 'Off the Wall' album and believe me, that is a compliment. Citing the King Of Pop as his influence many a time during his career, never before has the 'SexyBack' singer done something so much like Jackson before. If this track is any indication as to what to expect from the forthcoming album, could we be getting Justins own 'Off The Wall' record? With the disco trend coming into fashion, something originally started in Korean Pop music and really brought mainstream by Daft Punks 'Get Lucky', the track is current as it is brilliant. Though if you take into account the track is strikingly similar to much of Jacksons 'Off The Wall' and Daft Punks 'Get Lucky', the track maybe isn't all original but still a solid danceable effort nonetheless.
