Justin Timberlake: Tiny Desk Concert

By DaMarko Webster

Accompanied by his band The Tennessee Kids, Timberlake makes his Tiny Desk debut, showcasing a selection heavily drawn from his early solo repertoire. Opening with two tracks from the 2002 classic album “Justified,” he seamlessly integrates three more hits from the acclaimed 2006 album “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” The performance culminates with an electrifying rendition of “SexyBack,” featuring Timberlake wielding a megaphone in a moment that’s bound to become a meme.

For trivia enthusiasts, the record for the largest number of musicians behind the Tiny Desk stands at an impressive 23, achieved by the remarkable Mucca Pazza in 2015. However, Timberlake and his ensemble match that legendary energy, emphasizing that the true triumph lies not just in the logistics, but in the collective movement and unity that transcends individual performances.
