Everything great about Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience is captured on ‘Mirrors’, the greatest pop single not just of this year, but the decade. It flickers between Frank Ocean-esque hip hop sensibilities and In Rainbows-era Radiohead’s luscious electronic soundscapes via the faintest soupcon of EDM. For eight perfect minutes the songs ebbs and flows organically; Timberlake hits every beat and lands every punch perfectly with dreamlike ease. The ambition shown here is the equivalent of Christopher Nolan serving up another intelligent summer blockbuster: the buying public barely deserves it.

Popstars! Forget your Jeff Koons-inspired sound collage. Leave those outbursts of arse-ripping bravado at the studio doors. Above making you think, act like a letch or anything else, a big smash hit should warm your goolies with unabashed joy.
How do I feel every time ‘Roar’s breakbeat intro blasts over office radio? In two words: ‘****ing fantastic’.
