Of course, the remix album is notoriously hard to pull off, as Lady Gaga's patchy recent effort will attest to, with the tendency to smother the original in generic pounding beats and repetitive synths often the concept's downfall. So the release of Essential Mixes, an 11-track album featuring club-friendly reworkings of all of his previous singles, will at the very least bump up his sparse back catalog and perhaps appease his army of fans desperate for new material. Since *NSYNC unofficially disbanded in 2002, only two studio albums have come to fruition, the eight million-selling Justified and the Sign 'O' the Times Prince era-inspired FutureSex/LoveSounds, while more recently he's switched his focus to starring in Oscar-baiting dramas (The Social Network) and commercial raunchy comedies (Bad Teacher). Despite a seemingly never-ending array of guest spots on records from artists as diverse as Reba McEntire, Duran Duran, and Snoop Dogg, Justin Timberlake could never be described as the most prolific of solo artists.
