Single of The Day: Justin Timberlake feat. Jay Z - Suit & Tie

Oleh: admincd - 22 Feb 2013

Released by: Sony Music Entertainment Indonesia

Akhirnya! Justin Timberlake memutuskan untuk kembali ke skena yang membesarkan namanya, musik. Tujuh tahun setelah album keduanya, FutureSex/LoveSounds, ia akan menghadirkan album yang berjudul The 20/20 Experience. Sebagai pemanasan ia pun merilis single yang berjudul Suit & Tie. Tentu saja sulit untuk menghindatkan euforia akan kehadiran single ini. Namun, apakah JT, demikian ia biasa disebut, masih sakti dalam memberikan lagu pop-RnB yang memikat?

Masih dibantu oleh Timbaland sebagai produser, single midtempo RnB yang cozy dan suave ini menghadirkan Jay-Z sebagai teman nge-rap. Trademark JT masih melekat di sini, termasuk falsetto seksinya, namun tetap terdengar menyegarkan.

Akan tetapi Suit & Tie tidak melulu mengandalkan formula tersebut, karena JT menghadirkan sesuatu yang baru disini, retro-soul yang meski terdengar vintage namun entah mengapa bisa terdengar menyatu dengan sound urban yang menjadi latar belakang utama Suit & Tie.

Timbaland sebagai produser, menghadirkan kejutan tersendiri, karena kali ini ia meminggirkan beat-beat elektro-pop menggebu dan memilih membalut Suit & Tie dengan alur yang lebih tenang. Bahkan di awal, Suit & Tie malah hadir dengan sangat lambat, mengindikasikan jika ini adalah single soul yang lembut. Sampai kemudian memasuki detik ke 43, ritme tiba-tiba berubah menjadi lebih bertenaga, meski dalam tempo yang bergerak tidak terlalu kencang. Terompet dan harpa memberi aksen groovy ala pop-soul 70-an.

JT adalah gaya dalam bermusik. Demikian juga dengan Suit & Tie. Elegan sekaligus Hip. Kontemporer namun klasik. Seksi dengan tanpa kehilangan maskulinitasnya. Vokal JT terdengar begitu menggoda dan menggairahkan dan ia sukses untuk mengajak pendengar larut dalam buaiannya. Oh yes, Suit & Tie is still classic JT, but we can deny he still able to delivers the soul.

Suit & Tie menjadi ajang pembuktian jika seorang Justin Timberlake merupakan nama yang bisa diandalkan dalam lagu yang memiliki komposisi juara dan berkelas. Jeda sekian lama tak menyurutkan semangat musikalitasnya yang tinggi dan membuktikan jika ia memang merupakan sosok terkemuka yang kehadiran album terbarunya sangat layak untuk dinantikan.

Bravo Justin Timberlake.

LYRIC

[Intro: Justin Timberlake]

I be on my suit and tie, shit tie, shit tie

I be on my suit and tie, shit tie, shit

Can I show you a few things, a few things, a few things, little baby?

'Cause...

I be on my suit and tie, shit tie, shit

I be on my suit and tie, shit tie, shit

Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things

Wait a minute. You ready, JT?

[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]

I can't wait 'til I get you on the floor, good-looking

Going out so hot, just like an oven

And I'll burn myself, but just had to touch it

It's so fire and it's all mine

Hey baby, we don't mind all the watching

Cause if they study close, real close

They might learn something

She ain't nothing but a little doozie when she does it

She's so fire tonight

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

And as long as I got my suit and tie

I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight

And you got fixed up to the nines

Let me show you a few things

All pressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

While we're in the swing of love

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

Hey

[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]

Stop, let me get a good look at it

Oh, so thick, now I know why they call it a fatty

And aww, shit so sick, got a hit and picked up a habit

But that's alright, cause you're all mine

Awww, go on and show 'em who you call daddy

I guess they're just mad cause girl, they wish they had it

Oh, my killer, my thriller, yeah you're a classic

And you're all mine tonight

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

And as long as I got my suit and tie

I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight

And you got fixed up to the nines

Let me show you a few things

All pressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

While we're in the swing of love

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

Hey

Get out your seat, Hov

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

All black at the white shows

White shoes at the black shows

Green card for the Cuban links

Y'all sit back and enjoy the light show

Nothing exceeds like excess

Stoute got gout from having the best of the best

Is this what it's all about?

I'm at the restaurant

My rant disturbing the guests

Years of distress, tears on the dress

Trying to hide her face with some make up sex

This is truffle season

Time for tuxedos for no reason

All Saints for my angel

Alexander Wang too

Ass-tight Denim and some Dunks

I'll show you how to do this young!

No papers, catch vapors

Get high, out Vegas

D'usses on doubles, ain't looking for trouble

You just got good genes so a nigga trying to cuff you

Tell your mother that I love her cause I love you

Tell your father we go farther as a couple

They ain't lose a daughter, got a son

I show you how to do this, hun!

[Hook: Justin Timberlake]

And as long as I got my suit and tie

I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight

And you got fixed up to the nines

Let me show you a few things

All pressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love, hey

Oh...
