Amnesia

When I first heard this song I liked it immediately, even though it sounds like every other Justin Timberlake song. Same key, same tempo, same everything. Oddly though, this song stands out amongst most of his usual fare. It comes off his 20/20 Experience 2/2, which is a whole new collection of songs from his first 20/20 album.

I think the reason this song stands out is due to the string intro and the fact that his voice is so prominent over the instrumentation. Then at the 5:16 mark the song completely changes and becomes a slow jam. another trick (gimmick?) Justin utilizes often. He'll give you two songs in one and will take the average pop song that's about 4 or 5 minutes long and stretch it to 7 or 8 minutes. I don't mind it really, I'll always take more for my money than less.

The second set of songs from 20/20 are just as good as the first set. If you like this cut then take a listen to TKO, and You Got It On. They're fun songs and TKO is a 7+ minute song, just to give you a heads up. If you liked Justin's first 20/20 songs then you will enjoy the second set, and if you didn't then the second set won't move you to join his fan club. Enjoy!
