‘N Syncer Justin Timberlake isn’t suffering any post-Britney-breakup blues on Like I Love You, the first single from his upcoming solo set. Over a lo-fi Neptunes-produced track dashed with Spanish guitar, live drums, and ”Planet Rock”-like electro bleeps, the curly top drops hip-hop slang for oral sex (”I just love your brain”) and professes a taste for ”limber” good girls. His agile crooning nods to R&B influences (Jacko, Bobby Brown), proving that while no innovator, he’s a fine student.
