Justin Timberlake: 'Acting has affected my songwriting'

Hollywood actor and music star Justin Timberlake has opened up about combining his two career paths to create his brand new forthcoming album.

He recently made a comeback with the single 'Suit & Tie' and is due to release a new record, entitled 'The 20/20 Experience', and told two GRAMMYs Camp reporters that he took elements from both music and acting to shape his new material:

"it's made me take a slightly different approach to storytelling in some of my songs. I'm gonna put a lot of music out over the course of the year and some songs have become really concept-driven; some songs have become a simple idea that turns into something big."

He continued: "Now I can really paint a picture for people 'cause being involved in the film process, you get to see the writing change, you get to see the direction change, you get to see all those things change. But you get to see those things change and you go, "You can really do this with music, too." You can play a character but you can also write the world that you want your character to live in and then what does that world sound like?"
