After his successful performance with Chris Stapleton at the CMA's, Justin Timberlake is releasing 'Drink You Away' as a country single.

I never thought I would be talking about Justin Timberlake in country music news, but now that the time is here, I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited. JT can do no wrong. His sound definitely isn't conventional country, but it is comparable to Hunter Hayes, Sam Hunt, and even some of Keith Urban's newer music.

If Justin teamed up with Chris Stapleton for a bluesy 'Drink You Away' duet I would probably lose my mind. That would be incredible, and I think it would help ease the blow for country music fans. I mean, let's be honest, their performance at the CMA's was perfection and they are really good friends, so a collaboration seems like a natural next time if Justin is serious about this whole country music thing.

So, are you excited about Justin Timberlake breaking into the country music scene? Listen to  "Drink You Away" and let us know!
