Justin Timberlake has been focusing his time on Hollywood lately, but the pop superstar is almost ready to make his long-awaited return to music.

“I’m planning to spend some time in the studio this summer,” the 30-year-old singer-turned-actor revealed to Entertainment Weekly.

Timberlake, whose last album FutureSex/LoveSounds was released in 2006, is making sure he brings something new to the table with his third solo project.

“I feel like I’m always writing music and working on songs,” added The Social Network star. “But to make an album, you have to find a group of songs that speak to something that might not be on the radio currently and make sense for you personally.”

But fans shouldn’t have to wait too much longer. “It’s right around the corner, I think.”
