‘SNL’: Justin Timberlake Debuts Gospel Song ‘Sanctified’ With Tobe Nwigwe

Pop superstar performed the new track off his sixth studio album ‘Everything I Thought I Was’ on ‘Saturday Night Live.’

To promote the release of his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought I Was, out March 15 on RCA Records, the former boy bander served as the musical guest on tonight’s Saturday Night Live in support of his Social Network co-star Dakota Johnson. After popping up during Johnson’s monologue and joining his sketch-comedy partner in crime, Jimmy Fallon, for another edition of “The Barry Gibb Talk Show,” Timberlake performed the first of two songs on the night: “Sanctified,” presumably the second single off EITIW(after “Selfish”). “We were talking about the song itself and just breaking down the idea that you just don’t hear that from men often, that they would express an emotion that makes them vulnerable,” Timberlake said of the trick in an Apple Music interview.
