FreeSol - Role Model
Artist: FreeSol
Featuring: Justin Timberlake
Producer: Jim Jonsin, Justin Timberlake & Rob Knox (for The Y’s)
Album: No Rules
Label: Tennman/Interscope
Is there anything Justin Timberlake can’t do? In addition to selling platinum albums, hosting SNL, appearing in blockbuster movies and bedding every Hollywood starlet breathing JT can now add rapper/producer to his resume with the release of Role Model. Along with co-producers Jim Jonsin and Rob Knox (for The Y’s), Mr. Timberlake crafts a marching band meets hard rock beat for Role Model that was apparently banging enough to inspire a (disclaimered) rap verse. But while their boss will obviously garner the initial spotlight for listeners it’s the men of FreeSol that turn this track from an experiment to a fully crafted song as keyboardist Premo D’anger, drummer Kickman Teddy and vocalist Elliot give the cut its live instrument feel. Add in an intricately flowed verse from resident rapper Free and it sounds like the Memphis quartet have a hit on their hands that, ironically, might just make them household names (not to mention musical role models). There’s no word, yet, on a release date for FreeSol’s upcoming No Rules debut, but you can count on The DJBooth to keep you informed. In the meantime, why not watch Role Model‘s visual counterpart?

Super fresh new single from the Memphis boys! If there are any music directors across the country with balls, this record will make its way into rotation soon enough. Leggo!

What on earth, JT? This is on par with whatever he did on Diddy-DM's 'Shades'.
Everything else is pretty good. |

I'm not feeling this flow at all. The auto-tune doesn't seem so played out until someone comes along and does it too stereotypically. Sadly, this is one of those cases. The beat is all over the place and it just doesn't sound like a good combination... Just OK for effort.

sorry but this is on par with other JT tracks its just that the production is different with an dance-electronic beat.
