MY LOVE - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
“My Love,” is a disappointing follow-up to the summer sizzler “SexyBack.” With its sappy sentiment and mish-mashed styles, the song is not on par with Timberlake’s past hits. In fact, it’s one of the weakest tracks on the album “FutureSex/ LoveSounds.” That’s in part because the lyric is seriously lacking substance: “I can see us holding hands, walkin’ on the beach, our toes in the sand/I can see us on the countryside, sittin’ on the grass layin’ side by side.” Its only saving grace is a catchy beat, with some looped electronic giggling and an appearance by T.I. No doubt “My Love” will hit big on top 40 radio, but let’s hope it peaks fast so JT can get back to business as a pop trendsetter with something steamier, a la the title track or “Damn Girl” featuring will.i.am.
