Thirty Days of Music Day 28 - A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty


Justin Timberlake is most certainly a guilty pleasure of mine, and I really love What Goes Around.  It's probably the best song that he has ever made - the heartfelt retaliation of a spurned lover that actually tells a great story.  When combined with the video - which features Scarlett Johansson - the narrative is really effective and quite moving in an odd way.  The video is extremely polished and the modern-Venetian stylisation is beautiful.

I don't really need to describe the song for you, because I'm sure you all know it well.  It's a guilty pleasure because Timberlake has made some absolutely terrible songs as well as some classics, but I still have great respect for the guy because, unlike a large amount of modern popstars, he is actually a very talented multi-instrumentalist.
