Justin Timberlake: Tiny Desk Concert

Stephen Thompson | March 15, 2024
Walking into the room shortly before Justin Timberlake took our cramped stage, I overheard someone on his team wondering aloud if this was to be the most densely populated Tiny Desk concert in history - which is to say, the most musicians we've ever fit in a single frame. It's not, but we don't often find a way to cram in this many human beings (15 in all) and this much gear.
Timberlake has never been one to give partial effort, but this is a production befitting the occasion: namely, a set timed to drop concurrently with the release of his new album, Everything I Thought It Was. Eschewing the rootsier feel of its predecessor, 2018's Man of the Woods, the new record is a throwback, an epic and a blowout - and so's this lavish set, which scales the Timberlake experience down to 25 minutes of maximalist celebration and, when the moment calls for it, chiller vibes.
Backed by his band The Tennessee Kids, Timberlake's Tiny Desk debut leans heavily on his early solo catalog, as he kicks it off with two songs from 2002's classic Justified and weaves in three more from 2006's magnificent FutureSex/LoveSounds - including a set-closing "SexyBack," which finds the singer trotting out a megaphone in a truly meme-worthy moment.
By the way, in case you're wondering, the all-time record for musicians behind the Tiny Desk is a whopping 23, a feat pulled off by the fantastic Mucca Pazza in 2015. But Timberlake and company rival that classic performance's energy - in both cases, the real triumph lies not in the Tetris of it all, but in the way that many people still find ways to move, buoyantly and as one mighty organism.

If you went back to like 1999 and told my young self I'd be thoroughly enjoying a Justin Timberlake concert video in 2024... I would have got angry and called you crazy... but here we are. What a talent. EDIT: to clarify, In 1999, I was like 14 and a total metal head. Boy bands were the bane of my existence. But I've come to enjoy a lot of JT's solo music over the years.

[@nerosapien]

[@neuchigen]

well... it's a KILLER song... "Rock Your Body" gotta be like top 20 all time funk/dance tracks, if there is such a category... billie jean, brick house, give up the funk, maybe you could put britney or ace of bass in there... idk... its ladies night... probably some kylie minogue... maybe some uhhhh idk if james brown did anything like this midtempo... bob marley too slow... maybe something Bee Gee's... funk/dance/disco i think "Rock Your Body" gotta be top 30 probably top 20 if not even higher... ridiculously cool track.

[@brandonomara2958]

Are you aware that Africa is the birthplace of civilization and that Africa is the largest continent in the world and all of the worlds’ inhabitants derive from Africa? And do you know that European Caucasians are Biblically and scientifically the inferior race on Earth? Justin Timberlake is the least naturally talented in this tiny room but because he’s White and handsome, his privilege allowed him to be rich and famous. His career took off after he figured out that he needs Black people to make it in the entertainment industry because Black culture runs the world. The Kardashians are billionaires because of Black culture. So believing that TN is special when Motown is actually is special is why I laugh at White people! LOL SMDH!

[@brandonomara2958]

Justin Bieber is Canadian and not American so that’s why he went with Usher instead of JT when there was a bidding war to sign him. Usher is a gifted vocalist. JT is a unicorn. Not many naturally gifted White vocalists in the world. And they don’t cater to White audiences. Definitely a JT fan but I don’t own any of his music. I can sing better than him my my group in the 90s was 1 in 1,000 Black groups. Backstreet Boys & N’Sync* blew up because they were White.

It is incredible how social media can make you hate someone for no reason if you don't take the time to think about it. The amount of hate this guy is getting on Facebook and TikTok is surreal. He might have done some not so coll stuff, but his music is still fire.

It’s extremely hard to top this tiny desk session🙌🏽👏🏽

[@tenyb8102]

Those background singers are everything 🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼🫰🏼

[@phillylilmermaid7802]

One thing I love about Justin is just how much he genuinely respects and gives credit to his band and backup singers. I saw him in 2018 and was blown away with how he gave all of them solos.

[@nissan_skyline]

Same here. I always find myself watching the live band as opposed to the main act during concerts. These musicians are so talented. Glad he gives them the acknowledgment and respect they deserve for their contributions to his music.

[@colinbanning9416]

I've never been massive fans of either, but I've always genuinely appreciated that Justin and Miley Cyrus actually appear to deeply, passionately and truly love music. It's not just something they happen to be successful at. You could reasonably sit down with either and talk just about any genre or era, and I believe they'd have a deep, deep bag.

[@chefmellowd32]

If you don’t give the band solos you just don’t like music. That’s universal across all genres.

[@shortluv700]

He respect harmony ❤❤❤

[@portialangston7275]

[@gontsephaloane1530]

As a millenial, this tiny desk is one of the best in a while 😢❤

[@lararaggon2956]

It was great, but did you see Juvenile's? It was so good.

[@thanhtikeaung738]

⁠@@lararaggon2956juvenile perfomance is the best l looked about 10times❤❤

[@owenaten285]

Is JT even millennial isn’t he like 40? 😂

[@cjojay]

​@@owenaten285 I think 40 is millennial, but I think the OP was calling him/herself a millennial.

[@AllergicToAshAndDust]

​@@owenaten285Yup! He is over 40 and is still a millennial. He is on the cusp, so many folks adopted the term Xennial.

I can’t count how many times I’ve rewatched this Tiny Desk. Probably my all time favorite! ❤️

[@flowerboyzzx1050]

this is easily one of the best tiny desk performances, the crowd and the musicians vibin along all of those songs, it was just incredible.

[@Rhino747]

A million times more enjoyable than a halftime show. Imagine if artists could display their talent like this on a big stage

[@imslicc]

playing quietly, with precision, no stadium resonances - perfect

[@jeanh283]

I can't imagine it. I think the big stage demands a different kind of performance. I think a tiny desk show would feel awkward and small in a stadium.

Tiny Desk have had some of my absolute favourite artists on over the years, but this is the first performance I've put on again the second it finished. Phenomenal! Big up yourselves!

God dang, JT's vocals were on POINT here, and those back up singers are SO GOOD. This... I mean this should remind people why JT is a master of pop.
