In addition, during an interview with TMZ, frequent collaborator Timbaland was asked if a country album from Justin Timberlake might be on the horizon, given the popularity of his foray into country. “We were raised in the country”.

If country is the apple pie, and Timberlake is the one serving it, I’ll have a big slice of that.
He said in an interview “we are country”.
And according to Rolling Stone, he’s already making moves: The song Timberlake performed with Stapleton, called “Drink You Away” – off his massively successful 2013 album The 20/20 Experience – was sent to country radio just last week. But we always wanted to do country music. ‘Drink You Away’ was done on The 20/20 Experience. “We thought a few of our lyrics were country”.
Hip-hop and R&B producer supreme Timbaland is ready to get his twang on, y’all… and he’s gonna do it with his pal Justin Timberlake.
He continued, “I gotta tap into country”. I got a little spot in Nashville.
As far as whether his experimentation with the genre could result in a whole album in the genre with Timberlake, Timbo suggested, “Now that you put it out there, why not?”.
