Review: R&B style on Timberlake's 'Like I Love You'

Timberlake debuted "Like I Love You" in his first solo performance at last week's MTV Video Music Awards.

(Entertainment Weekly) -- 'N Syncer Timberlake isn't suffering any post-Britney-breakup blues on the first single from his upcoming solo set.

Over a lo-fi Neptunes-produced track dashed with Spanish guitar, live drums, and ''Planet Rock''-like electro bleeps, the curly top drops hip-hop slang for oral sex (''I just love your brain'') and professes a taste for ''limber'' good girls.

His agile crooning nods to R&B influences (Jacko, Bobby Brown), proving that while no innovator, he's a fine student.
