The NSYNC reunion continues… on Justin Timberlake‘s new album?
After teasing fans with the deluxe vinyl edition of “Everything I Thought It Was,” Timberlake’s new album set for release on March 15, the singer took to TikTok to confirm that one of the tracks features his former NSYNC bandmates.
“Blink twice if *NSYNC is on a song called ‘Paradise,’” wrote a fan in the comment section of Timberlake’s deluxe edition announcement video. On Wednesday, Timberlake responded to that comment with a candid video that showed him moving his sunglasses to reveal his eyes, intentionally blinking twice before flashing a sly smile.
Adding to the confirmation, NSYNC member Chris Kirkpatrick responded with eye emoji comments and Lance Bass responded with his own video. Members JC Chasez and Joey Fatone have yet to comment on the revelation.
This news comes just months after the group joined forces on a new song for the first time in more than two decades as part of the soundtrack of the film “Trolls Band Together.” Timberlake also teased new music from NSYNC during an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” earlier this January by telling Clarkson the group had been in the studio, “so there may be a little something in the future, too.”
Timberlake’s hard-charging return to the spotlight also includes his “Forget Tomorrow” tour (which begins on April 29 in Vancouver, B.C.) supporting his first solo album in five years. The record was preceded by its first single, “Selfish,” which premiered at a special concert in Timberlake’s hometown of Memphis.
Several fans are now asking Timberlake to “blink three times” if NSYNC will take their reunion on the road for any of his upcoming tour stops, but it seems that confirmation is more of a “wait and see.”
