Fans Actually, Finally Love This New Justin Timberlake Song "Say Something"
The self-proclaimed man of the woods has dropped another music video, and there is nary a dancing robot to be found. On Thursday, Justin Timberlake released the video for "Say Something" featuring Chris Stapleton, and it is a stunner of a country-pop jam. Not to be confused with "Say Something" by A Great Big World featuring Christina Aguilera, this ditty is track number nine on the former *NSYNC member's upcoming album, Man of the Woods. And lots of fans sure are feeling this new JT tune's sound — finally.
While the response to Man of the Woods' previous singles "Filthy" and "Supplies" has been pretty mixed (to say the least), it seems like "Say Something" and its music video are getting a lot of love on Twitter. The clip, which was directed by Arturo Perez Jr., follows Timberlake and Stapleton as they make their way down a hall, walk down some stairs, ride an elevator, walk up some more stairs, and then end up in a cavernous room that sort of looks like something that'd be in the movie Synecdoche, New York. Timberlake and Stapleton perform the track together for an audience, and the video ends with a stirring singalong. Like the Timbaland and Danja-produced song, the clip is flat-out awesome.
And it sure looks like there are a lot of people on Twitter who would agree that the song and the video are quite lovely. Of course, there are some who aren't on board with "Say Something" — this is the internet, after all — but for the most part, the response appears to be pretty positive. Here are some of the many enthusiastic reactions to JT's latest offering.
