Justin Timberlake ha coprodotto l’intera colonna sonora di Trolls World Tour (film d’animazione) e si preannuncia come un’avventura R&B ricca di funk. Con la collaborazione di SZA in “The Other Side”, Justin sta già facendo enormi guadagni in radio. E ora ha pubblicato anche un’altra canzone. Si intitola Don’t Slack ed è un duetto con Anderson .Paak.
“Nessuno può spostarti in questo modo, finalmente ti sei liberato dalla gabbia”, inizia Anderson la canzone. “Non sto provando a fotterti con i fiori, piccola – Preferirei fare un gioco di potere.”
Ecco che allora interviene JT. “Sistema il viso e sii orgoglioso per una volta”, canta.
Il ritmo è molto divertente. Justin è rimasto così soddisfatto dalla collaborazione con Anderson che potrebbe proporre al cantante un album congiunto. “Spero che non gli dispiaccia ma lo dirò subito, abbiamo parlato di un possibile progetto congiunto”, ha detto il 39enne a Zane Lowe su Apple Music. “Ne abbiamo parlato, ma sì, anche lui è un uomo impegnato.”
