The American star revealed his plans last Friday in Paris. He told journalists that he is very excited for the release of his next disc, due out September 12. "I realize that I have a platform to push the sound of pop music. That’s the only responsibility that I put on myself in recording the album," Timberlake told reporters in Paris. "If I’m not going to push it, then who’s going to push it?"
Timberlake’s last album was Justified in 2002. The star earned a Grammy Award for Best Pop Album and Best Singer that year.
