McKinley Franklin editor Fresh off a headline-making reunion, NSYNC is back with its first release in nearly 20 years, “Better Place.” The single was released on Friday as part of the “Trolls Band Together” soundtrack. With 19 years passing since Justin Timberlake left the group and 10 since their last group performance, rumors about NSYNC reuniting at the VMAs came with reports of the group recording their now-revealed “Better Place” track part of the third “Trolls” installment. The film will follow Poppy (Anna Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake), who are officially a couple.
Poppy quickly realizes that Branch has a hidden past as a member of the boy band BroZone with his four brothers who seemingly reunite in the film’s trailer. Noticeably, the trailer, too, includes references to Timberlake’s boy band roots: “Branch, we’re out of synch. We’ve gone from boys to men, and now there’s only one direction for us to go: The backstreets!” The boy band confirmed their musical reunion in a behind-the-scenes look clip showcasing each member recording their individual parts of the track.
“Wait, that’s the first NSYNC song finished in 23 years?” Lance Bass asked at the end of the track. Timberlake replied: “Listen man, I love you guys. That shit is … that shit is epic, man.” Along with stars Timberlake and Anna Kendrick, the film also features Camila Cabello, Troye Sivan, Kid Cudi, Daveed Diggs, Amy Schumer, Andrew Rannells, RuPaul Charles, Zosia Mamet, Zooey Deschanel, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Icona Pop duo Aino Jawo and Caroline Hjelt, Anderson .Paak, Ron Funches, Kunal Nayyar and Kenan Thompson.
“Trolls Band Together” will premiere in theaters on Nov. 17. The film is directed by Walt Dohrn and Tim Heltz while Gina Shay

“Better Place,” and now, Joey Fatone is revealing how the 2000’s heartthrobs have transformed into esteemed gentlemen. “There’s more depth to the conversation. Let’s go there,” Fatone, 46, told The Post on Monday of his formerly spiky, frosted-tipped counterparts’ more mischievous days.

“Bye Bye Bye” to us as a recording act.But the wait for the boy band’s much-anticipated reunion is finally over with Friday’s release of “Better Place,” the group’s first single since 2002’s “Girlfriend.”And Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick sound just in sync as ever on this buoyant bop from the “Trolls Band Together” soundtrack, which indeed takes you to a “Better Place.”After a whistling intro — a hook that repeats throughout the song — it opens with what could be a statement about how they’re still better together after all these years: “It’s some kind of love, it’s some kind of fire/I’m already up, but you lift me higher.”While other members of the group sing lead in the verses, it’s Timberlake who owns the chorus with his familiar falsetto. And when he sings “I’m so excited to see you excited” over the bass-bumping disco groove, it’s as if he knows exactly how giddy this track is making *NSYNC fans all around the world.Timberlake, who also voices the character of Branch in “Trolls Band Together,” co-wrote and co-produced “Better Place” with Shellback, and the track is a satisfying sequel to their previous collaboration on the 2016 “Trolls” smash “Can’t Stop the Feeling!”Like it’s predecessor, it’s the perfect summer song — except it’s arriving at the beginning of fall.But there’s no denying the sunny pop sheen of “Better Place.” And though it feels more like a Timberlake song than an *NSYNC one, it’s not all about the “SexyBack” singer — as those creamy harmonies attest.The tune previews the “Trolls Band Together” soundtrack” — with Timberlake returning as executive music producer — which will be released on Oct.
