Justin Timberlake shot to fame after he released his iconic debut solo album ̵6;Justified’ in November 2002. Timberlake217;s ‘Justified’ went on to sell more than 10 million copies across the globe and it made singer a household name as well as establishing him as a musical force in his own right. The album came when he was taking a hiatus from his band to pursue solo music but that hiatus turned into a full-time departure, effectively ending NSYNC217;s career while the band was on top.
Recorded with The Neptunes, Timbaland, Scott Storch, The Underdogs and Brian McKnight, ̵6;Justified’ saw Timberlake co-write every single song on the album and it gave him four monster hits in the shape of ̵6;Like I Love You’ (feat. Clipse), ̵6;Cry Me A River’, ̵6;Rock Your Body’ and ̵6;Señorita’. Taking inspiration from Michael Jackson (some of the songs on the record were written with Jackson in mind), and exploring sounds Justin Timberlake217;s fans had never heard from him before.
