Justin Timberlake has always been a snazzy dresser.

And what better way for the R&B star to celebrate the release of his first single in nearly six years—"Suit & Tie," featuring Jay-Z—than by starring in the song's new lyric music video, a stylish 30-second preview of which is now in the wild courtesy of MTV.

The black and white clip kicks off with a subtle tribute to his hero, Michael Jackson, as Timberlake pulls up his socks and clicks his black loafers together, after which, he puts on a perfectly tailored Tom Ford vest and tie.

"As long as I got my suit and tie/I'm a leave it all on the floor tonight/And you got fixed up to the nines/Let me show you a few things," croons J.T.

Love is swingin' in the air tonight indeed.

The full lyric video premieres on MTV and its sister channels on Thursday at 6 a.m. ET.

No doubt, it'll continue to stoke excitement over Timberlake's long-awaited third studio album, The 20/20 Experience, due out later this year.

The "Sexy Back" singer also dropped some sexy new pics on his website yesterday showing him in the studio getting back to his musical roots after a six-year break to pursue a successful big screen career.

And if that's not enough for Justin's fans, Billboard reports that Timberlake is also set to perform Super Bowl weekend at the DIRECTV Super Saturday Night event on Feb. 2 in New Orleans, the night before the big game.
