Timberlake says '20/20' is half of 2-album set

LOS ANGELES, March 19 (UPI) -- U.S. pop star Justin Timberlake has confirmed his latest album "The 20/20 Experience" is the first of a two-part set.

"I need to clear up a rumor," EW.com quoted the singer as saying Monday night at a Los Angeles release party for his first new album in seven years. "This whole thing about this being the first half of the album is true."

The rumor was started by musician Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson, who wrote in an online message: "Spoiler alert. 20/20 Vol 2 comes out in nov. 10 songs now.....10 songs later= 20 vision."

EW.com said neither Timberlake nor his publicist confirmed the November release date, however.
