It's only a matter of time before Zomba drops Justin Timberlake's "My Love" as a single, and once they do, the whole world as we know it will change. With its stuttering synths, giggling chorus, and mid-song cameo from rapper T.I., "My Love" could be the biggest song of the year, if not our lives. There are plenty of things to love about this track, so prepare to be massively infatuated with it—and then thoroughly sick of it—possibly within the same one-week span.
Thankfully, as The Fader's blog pointed out a while back, there have already been numerous remixes of the song prior to its release, a few of which are included below. Be sure to check out the maniacal "Atlantic Records For T.I. Clearance," a bizarre cut that repeatedly samples its titular statement over and over again.

Well, I've got to hear the remixes, then, because I've already had the album version stuck in my head all morning.
Timbaland should get a MacArthur grant.
i still think this record falls off exactly at the halfway point, but the first 6 songs are all gold.
I would happily give him that on condition that he never records again, goes to a desert island somewhere and eventually dies.
On this desert island of yours, Timbaland should be able to stay well hydrated if he's lugging that giant fruit juice jug around that he had in "Fade to Black".
His production on the Timberlake record almost makes up for the horror of "Promiscious Girl".
Almost.
Best song on the album. I would have Timbland do my debut rap single for sure.
the name of the Cousin Cole remix is just, "Atlantic Records, T.I. Clearance". No "For", ya hear?
I prefer obscure JT hits, you know, like "Rock Your Body". That one never loses its novelty.
the first six songs on this record are total gold, but the drop-off is surprisingly steep after that. if he can figure out a way to segue "(Another Song) All Over Again" into "One More Try" live, he will be even more unstoppable.

awesome, double post.
"What Goes Around" is the best thing he's ever done, and may not get released since it would be a little stale for JT to go sneaking around fake Britney's house in the video again.
P.S. If Timbaland and JT were one person, this album would be his "Talking Book"....
What comes around goes around is also an awesome song on this album. this song and my love are my favorites on his album. loves it!
Anyone else notice that the 'My Love' chorus sounds remarkably similar to Madonna's 'Justify My Love'?
