I love me some Justin Timberlake. Call it a girly weakness, nostalgia from my middle school N’Sync days, or just acknowledge the fact that you love him too and we can get on with it. I’ve been missing my Justin fix lately – though the Grammy performance with Al Green was sweet and blew the JoBros destroying “Superstition” out of the water. Needless to say I was pretty geeked when I heard his latest musical collab with Ciara on “Love Sex Magic.” It’s fun, funky and the bridge is so smooth. I’m kinda surprised they released it now instead of waiting to drop it as the soundtrack of the summer, but very happy to be hearing it either way.
I do have one beef though. How can you put Ciara and Justin in a video together and not have EVEN ONE dance break? Not even a hint of one. The “Sex” of “Love Sex Magic” is being shoved in our face the entire 3:44 which I’m sure appeals to a big chunk of viewers, but they completely left out the “Magic.” Seeing Ciara and Justin tearing through a choreographed dance break together would have been incredible, and I think what everyone was hoping for and expecting.
I’m not hating on the song, just the direction of the video and whoever’s idea it was to just have Ciara writhing around like a pole dancer the whole time. She looks fantastic, but c’mon – show us your moves. Check out the song and the video for yourself, and if you dig it – use the iTunes/Amazon links to make it official. Also check out the Chew Fu Small Room Fix of the track.
