Three days after announcing his return to music with a video called "I'm Ready," Justin Timberlake has released a new track, "Suit and Tie." The Timbaland-produced cut, which features a guest verse from Jay-Z, was dropped on early Monday morning and is the first new music from the singer-turned-actor in over six years.
In an open letter to fans posted on his website, the singer also revealed the title of his forthcoming new album: "The 20/20 Experience." Timberlake wrote that it will be released at some point this year.

He added that the sessions for the album were "probably the best time" he's had in his career, "creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process."
