The short video entitled One Night Only shows Timberlake before the show wandering around the venue, microphone in hand.
In videos taken of the event, Timberlake can be heard telling the crowd: “New music? Well, we didn’t get dressed up for nothing did we? All right, let’s do it. This is called Selfish.”
After the performance, Timberlake posted another clip to his Instagram page captioned “Justin Timberlake Presents: Everything I Thought It Was”.
This is rumoured to be the title of a new album where the singer stares into a distant sunset with his back to the camera while Puerto Rican actor Benicio Del Toro narrates: “Ah there’s Justin. Why won’t he turn around.
His last album, Man Of The Woods featuring hits like Say Something and Morning Light, was released almost six years ago in February 2018.
