MIXIS MUSIC TODAY: SUIT & TIE ~ JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - ft. JAY Z At last Justin Timberlake is back to music, with Jay-Z in tow, on Suit & Tie, was his first comeback new song since 2006 – and it sure was good to hear that falsetto croon again. With its smooth, horn-kissed lushness, it recalls the 70s R&B of Marvin Gaye as well as Robin Thickes modern-day take on old-school soul. After taking a seven-year break from music, Justin Timberlake returned in explosive fashion in 2013, releasing his first album since 2006 and touring stadiums both by himself and with Jay Z and earning $31,463,297.03. To say that Timberlake’s fans responded vigorously would be an understatement. Led by The 20/20 Experience, the 33-year-old singer-turned-actor particularly impressed with digital sales, collecting more than $5 million in royalties from albums, tracks and streaming. At radio, “Suit & Tie” generated the highest first-week plays in Billboard’s Mainstream Top 40 chart history. JT delivered on ticket sales, too. His Legends of the Summer trek with Jay Z generated $60 million from a dozen shows. On his own, he grossed $43 million and performed in front of nearly 1 million fans between two legs and 39 shows. youtube/watch?v=IsUsVbTj2AY&feature=kp
