Justin Timberlake just dropped a new video and all you can see is Steve Jobs

Justin Timberlake returns after five years with his new album, 'Man Of The Woods' and the first single, ' Filthy' already has over 5 million views since it was uploaded yesterday.

But, wait, the video is nothing like you've seen Timberlake do before. Co-produced by Timbaland who has collaborated with Timberlake in the past and delivered hits like 'Give It To Me' and 'Carry Out' is back with this slinky, electro-R&B jam that fans will love.




What's with the video though? Timberlake channels Apple's late CEO, Steve Jobs, sporting a Todd Snyder turtleneck with wire-frame glasses, a simple pair of grey slacks, and classic white sneakers. He has convincingly slipped into the role of a tech innovator who unveils a robot at the Pan-Asian Deep Learning Conference, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 2028. At first awestruck, the crowd is left bewildered as the android's moves become increasingly suggestive with female dancers, reflecting the song's chorus of, "Go on and put your filthy hands all over me / No, this ain't the clean version."

The video has been directed by Mark Romanek, which is less-party and more a peek into the futuristic world. Timberlake has co-written 'Filthy' with Timbaland, Danja, James Fauntleroy and Lawrence Dopson. Timberlake, Timbaland and Danja have co-produced the track.

The singer plans to release three other videos in the weeks preceding the album release. Three different directors helmed the other clips, which will be out weekly starting January 18th.

The end of the video may leave you feeling amused. With Timberlake's invention taking up a life of its own, and, in a bizarre turn, Timberlake disappears at the end of the video.

Timberlake will headline the Super Bowl LII halftime show in February, his third Super Bowl performance. We hope to see the robot with him there!
