NSYNC unveil first single in over 20 years with "Better Place"
Iconic boy band NSYNC have unleashed their first single in over 20 years today.
The song “Better Place” was written for the forthcoming Trolls Band Together film, which will be released on November 17. In the film, Justin Timberlake reprises the role of Branch. In 2017, the singer was nominated for an Oscar with "Can't Stop the Feeling!" from the first film in the Trolls series. A lyric video for “Better Place,” which is available on digital services right now, can be seen below.
A synopsis for Trolls Band Together reads:
After two films of true friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Justin Timberlake) are now officially, finally, a couple (#broppy)! As they grow closer, Poppy discovers that Branch has a secret past. He was once part of her favorite boyband phenomenon, BroZone, with his four brothers: Floyd (Golden Globe nominated electropop sensation Troye Sivan), John Dory (Eric André; Sing 2), Spruce (Grammy winner Daveed Diggs; Hamilton) and Clay (Grammy winner Kid Cudi; Don’t Look Up). BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hasn’t seen his brothers since.
But when Branch’s bro Floyd is kidnapped for his musical talents by a pair of nefarious pop-star villains—Velvet (Emmy winner Amy Schumer; Trainwreck) and Veneer (Grammy winner and Tony nominee Andrew Rannells; The Book of Mormon)—Branch and Poppy embark on a harrowing and emotional journey to reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate even worse than pop-culture obscurity.
NSYNC announced “Better Place” shortly after reuniting at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
