Justin Timberlake has penciled in a Sept. 12 North American release date for his second solo album, “FutureSex/LoveSounds.” The Jive set will be preceded by the single “SexyBack,” which will be delivered July 7 to U.S. radio outlets. The track was co-written and co-produced by Timberlake with Timbaland and Nate Hills.

As for the new album, additional production was supplied by Rick Rubin and JAWBreakers, Timberlake’s behind-the-boards duo with the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am.

will.i.am was at a loss to describe the project’s musical direction when asked in January by Billboard.com. “I can’t explain it, that’s how dope it is,” he said with a laugh. “He just surprised me again. I was surprised that I was even going to like Justin Timberlake. Then he turned me into a fan, and I’ve become a fan. That means you are so talented that you are changing people’s vocabulary.”

“FutureSex/LoveSounds” is the follow-up to 2002′s “Justified,” which debuted at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 and has sold more than 3.5 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Timberlake is planning a U.S. club tour in August to unveil the new material.
