Step into the intimate setting of the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge for a special 2013 performance from one of pop's most enduring superstars, Justin Timberlake. Backed by his formidable live band, The Tennessee Kids, this session captures Timberlake at a pivotal moment in his career, celebrating his grand return to music with the ambitious "The 20/20 Experience" album.
Far from a typical stripped-down acoustic set, this performance is a full-scale concert experience condensed into a studio space. The Tennessee Kids transform the room with their lush arrangements, brass sections, and tight grooves, providing the perfect backdrop for Timberlake's smooth vocals and effortless charisma. The setlist is a masterclass in modern pop and R&B, weaving together new classics from his then-current album, such as the epic ballad "Mirrors" and the infectious funk of "Take Back The Night."
He also dips into his rich back catalog with a fan-favorite performance of "Rock Your Body," seamlessly blended with a tribute to Michael Jackson's "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)." This session is a powerful showcase of Timberlake's artistry, highlighting his strengths as a vocalist, bandleader, and consummate entertainer in a uniquely personal environment. It's a snapshot of a global icon bringing stadium-level energy to an exclusive radio audience.
