Back in May, Justin Timberlake teased a possible joint project with Anderson .Paakafter they hit the studio together. It looks like the pop singer has continued to stay busy, as he teased collaborations with Lizzo, SZA, and Meek Mill in a new Entertainment Tonightinterview.<\/p>\n
Timberlake said he met Lizzo at the Songwriters Hall of Fame, where he approached her about working together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think she thought I was lying, but we got in and we got a couple of ideas,\u201d he remembered. \u201cI\u2019m not going to tell you too much about what we did together in the studio. If she wants to tell you she can, but it\u2019s flames. It is so good. I am so excited about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Back in August, he shared a preview from their session:<\/p>\n
Speaking about his recent collaborations, Timberlake said working with different artists reinvigorated his approach to music.<\/p>\n
\u201cI worked with SZA the other day and just worked with Meek Mill,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m having these experiences that are fueling me in such a different way and, again, I think it was really birthed out of feeling like, what can I do right now to just be a part of my community and integrate.\u201d<\/p>\n
SZA spoke about her studio session with Timberlake in a recent interview with Kerwin Frost, explaining that it felt like their energies aligned:<\/p>\n
Before I was like, \u2018What the fuck am I doing in the studio with Justin Timberlake right now? This is crazy.\u2019 But when I heard his music and we started singing together and the harmonies and the note choices that we were finding together, it\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, we speak the same language. The same frequency.\u2019 I understood where he was going before he could finish a run, and I wanted to be in that tandem.<\/p>\n
According to Timberlake, he\u2019s been able to connect with people who may be outside of his comfort zone after reaching out to his publisher.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018You know, I just want to work with young, fresh people, and I want to collaborate more,\u2019\u201d he recalled. \u201cI\u2019ve been songwriting and producing for so long\u2014I want to experience that energy, and I want to work with people that I think are truly amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not much is known about Timberlake\u2019s follow-up to last year\u2019s Man of the Woods. In March, he shared an Instagram video teasing his return to the studio with his frequent collaborator Timbaland:<\/p>\n
