If this news turns to be 100% true then 2011 will have one huge reason to be considered a great year of music.

Super producer and long-time Justin Timberlake collaborator, Timbaland, recently opened up a Twitter account. Because of that, one overzealous Justin Timberlake supporter flooded Timbaland with questions about Timberlake’s next album. In a surprise tweet, Timbaland replied:

not til next year. we goin’ in

Another one of those vague tidbits to make a supporter go crazy eh? Well it gets a bit deeper as Timberlake hinted at his muscal comeback at his annual Vegas charity:

“Don’t be pissed off that I’m an actor, it’s not over. And when I come back, I’m come harder. Cause that’s right, I’m doing me. I’m living life right now man and this what I’m gonna do til it’s over, but it’s far from over.” [SOURCE]

Coincidentally covering Drake, the Canadian rapper spoke in a recent interview with FUSEtv about plans for himself and Timberlake to collaborate, very soon. So after 5 years it looks like we may get a new Justin Timberlake album. Three album albums in ten years; you all know how we prefer quality over quantity.
