By Amos Barshad at

Whatever else you might think about modern renaissance man/golfing enthusiast/fedora aficionado Justin Timberlake, know this: The dude respects punctuality. On Sunday night, when the countdown clock he dropped on us earlier this week hit all zeros, a fragile, tender hatchling — in the form of the first new Justin Timberlake solo material since 2006 — greeted the world. It's called "Suit and Tie," it was produced by Timbaland and features a verse from Jay-Z, it precedes a brand-new Timberlake album called The 20/20 Experience, which will be out this year, and it's available for listening, at your comfort and leisure, right now. OK, let's talk this out.
