If you're like me, you've been listening to Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience all morning, as the upcoming album is currently streaming for free on iTunes. But you'll need a break eventually; I suggest you take a listen to the Aeroplane remix of the lead single, "Suit & Tie," before getting back into that eight-minute song that sounds like the Miami Sound Machine invaded the studio and demanded, at gunpoint, that Timberlake and Timbaland let them join in on the fun. Listen to the remix after the jump!

SURPRISE! Kanye West has run his mouth off. Again.

Right about now, I hope someone is slaving away at their desk writing a comparative analysis of David Fincher premieres in the last two weeks—Netflix's House of Cards series and Justin Timberlake's brand new music video for "Suit & Tie." Yes, the video is finally here. We reported a couple weeks ago that Fincher would be directing J.T.'s latest track featuring Jay-Z, the first single off his fresh return to music with The 20/20 Experience. Floating somewhere between the slick and meticulous world of Fincher and a fancy vodka commercial, the video is shiny and suave—of course. J.T. eats cereal (or soup) while chillin with Jay, then hits the stage to showcase his smooth moves, interspersed with shots of a lingerie-clad lady writhing around. We're into it. 

With his new series House of Lies premiering next week, it looks like David Fincher has some other exciting non-feature film projects in the works. The Playlist confirms for us that yes, the man who brought us Fight Club, Zodiac, Seven, etc. will now be directing the video for Justin Timberlake's "Suit & Tie," the first single off his new album. Apparently J.T. and Fincher must have gotten pretty chummy while filming The Social Network and are collaborating once again with production already underway. No stranger to the world of music, not only did Fincher got his start on videos and commercials—with Nine Inch Nails' "Only" his last hand at cinema for the sonic—but music always plays such a key role in his films.
