It’s already been six years since the release of Justin Timberlake’s last studio album, and he’s finally gearing up for a comeback. After dropping several hints about his new music, the pop sensation confirmed the release of his new album Everything I Thought I Was and its lead single “Selfish”.

Shortly after teasing new music with a free concert in his hometown of Memphis, Timberlake finally confirmed he has a new album on the way. He made things official by sharing a teaser for a mystery project Justin Timberlake Presents: Everything I Thought It Was, hilariously narrated by the Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro.

“What do we have here? Ooh, that’s a nice car! Wait, it’s a model. Did that say JT? OK, that sunset is definitely not real. Oh, there’s Justin! Why won’t he turn around? What the f— is he staring at?” says Del Toro in the trailer.

Everything I Thought It Was is believed to be the title of Timberlake’s upcoming sixth solo studio album, and he’ll promote its release with the new single “Selfish”. This announcement comes six years after the release of the singer’s last LP Man of the Woods, which came out in 2016 and produced singles “Filthy”, “Supplies”, and “Say Something”.
