Pop sensation and former Nsync frontman Justin Timberlake is bringing the sexy back to the music video world with the release of his new video for his comeback single "Suit and Tie." MTV debuted the classic, black and white video early Thursday morning which shows a suave and poised Timberlake in the likeness of legendary jazz singer Frank Sinatra.
The almost five-and-a-half minute lyric video begins with the "Cry Me A River" crooner riding around Los Angeles in a classic black drop top. In the next scene, Timberlake proceeds put on a sleek suit and tie decked out with cufflinks. With few special effects, the pop singer gives the video a timeless and sexy feel while the lyrics to the song are displayed on the screen.
Hip hop mogul Jay-Z is also featured on the Timberland produced record. During his verse, JT is seen sitting back and blowing smoke from a cigar.
"Suit and Tie" has already moved 310,087 digital copies, beating the record "SexyBack" set in 2006 with 250,000 copies. The song has also reached number one on iTunes in 31 different countries including the US, Canada and France.
The single release and video premiere marks the "My Love" singer's return to music after a seven year hiatus that allowed the multi-talented entertainer to focus on his acting career. He landed roles in films like "Friends With Benefits," "Bad Teacher" and "In Time."
"Tie" is the first single from Timberlake's new album "The 20/20 Experience: Coming Soon" which is scheduled to drop on March 19. Until then, fans can catch the heartthrob live on Super Bowl Weekend where he will perform at the DIRECTV Super Saturday Night charity event on February 2 in New Orleans.
