LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There are music artists who seem to drop albums the way Mickey D's churns out hamburgers. Then, there's Justin Timberlake. He says he isn't one to rush the process just to have a new project out. He says his music making comes from experiences he has in life -- so deciding to make an album "is a really big deal" for him. Timberlake's last album was in 2006, when he dropped "FutureSex/LoveSounds." He's since done songs with other acts and has done some movies. But when it comes to releasing music constantly, he says he doesn't think he can "pump them out every year."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Is Justin Timberlake bringing his music career back?
 
The 31-year-old superstar has concentrated almost exclusively on his acting career over the last few years. But on Thursday, he posted a video on his website that showed him walking into a studio, putting on headphones and saying: "I'm ready."
 
Timberlake hasn't made an album since 2006's Grammy-winning "FutureSex/LoveSounds." In the video, Timberlake is also heard saying that he obsesses over his music and doesn't want to put music out that he doesn't love -- and that you have to wait for music you love.
 
The video ends with a countdown to midnight Sunday.
 
Timberlake -- who recently married longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel -- has been in several movies, including "The Social Network," "Bad Teacher," "Friends With Benefits" and last year's "Trouble With the Curve."
 
"FutureSex/LoveSounds," which won four Grammy Awards, launched three No. 1 hits and sold more than 4 million units in the United States.
