Justin Timberlake will release his long awaited solo sophomore album FutureSex/LoveSounds, the follow-up to his 7 million worldwide debut release Justified, on September 12, 2006. SexyBack, the first single from the album, was co-written and co-produced by Timberlake, Timbaland and Nate Hills.

Justin has already kicked off the album’s promotional tour in July in Europe. An associate of ours spent some time with Justin in Paris the weekend before Fourth of July with Cameron Diaz and Justin’s mom Lynn Harless in tow. Justin was hanging out at a Paris hot spot with record mogul Seymour Stein and cosmetics chem-king, Mark Potter.

JT will embark on a US club tour previewing the album for fans in late August. Venues and date for a world tour will be announced later this month.
