Justin Timberlake - "Mirrors" Official Video | IamJuanC

 Coinciding with his latest album “The 20/20 Experience,” hitting stores today, Justin Timberlake shares a narrative-heavy film to the poignant hit single “Mirrors.” Following a love story which outlasts the test of time through good and bad, the eight-minute video is a moving testament to his grandparents, William and Sadie who play strong characters in this short, ending with an appearance from JT himself who dances through a room of mirrors in high falsetto. The video reveals a number of personal references, including William’s failing health in preventing him from attending JT’s wedding, a scene captured by his grandparents’ wedding ring falling, only to be caught by JT. If the leaks of the LP and his performances on Jimmy Fallon haven’t caught your attention, then this latest dispatch will no doubt dispel any doubts that Justin Timberlake is back in a big way, and is here to stay.
