'Suit & Tie' hitmaker Justin Timberlake has praised super producer Timbaland in a new interview and opened up about their bond.

Speaking to Rolling Stone about their relationship, Timberlake admitted that there's an unspoken understanding that translates musically and helps them work together seamlessly:

"My relationship with [Timbaland] is a relationship that I have with nobody else in the world. We're like brothers, really. You have friends like that, friends you don't have to say much to, but you know they just get who you are."

"That's the relationship I have with Tim, where we go in the studio and kind of don't even speak to each other. He'll start tinkering around or I'll start playing some chords and start tinkering around."

He added: "My relationship with Tim is very unique, we share the same perspective that we always want to make something that reminds us of music that we love, but at the same time is something we've never heard before."
