Justified is the debut album by
Justin Timberlake. Released after the demise of the group
*NSYNC, the album signaled Timberlake's desire to craft a more mature image than that of "
boy band member". The album features guest performances by
Pharrell Williams,
Clipse,
Bubba Sparxxx and
Janet Jackson, amongst others. The final song, "Never Again", featured
Brian McKnight on nearly all of the instruments.
Justified was honored with two
Grammys at the 2004 Grammy Awards ceremony in
New York City.
The album was fronted by "
Like I Love You", a hit single that proved Timberlake's solo sales could rival his former band's success. It was
produced by
The Neptunes, one of the more famous and highly-regarded production units in the country, and was accompanied by a
music video that showed Timberlake's veneration for pop icon
Michael Jackson.
The proved very successful peaking at #2 on the
Billboard 200, and eventually went 3x
Platinum by the
RIAA.
The popularity of the first single was equalled or surpassed by the releases which followed:
*"
Cry Me A River", a ballad (accompanied by a dark video depicting a tale of rejection and revenge, which could be seen as evocative of his relationship with
Britney Spears)
*"
Rock Your Body", a
disco-infused dance number
*"
Senorita", a danceable love song with a vaguely Latin feel
In 2003, a fifth single was released titled "
I'm Lovin' It". The song, partly a leftover song from the
Justified sessions, did not appear on the album, which proved extremely lucrative when it was sold to the
McDonalds Corporation for use in a massive TV and radio advertising campaign of the same name.
Justified was not re-released to include the song.
