WATCH: Justin Timberlake releases bizarre new music video for 'Filthy'

'Filthy' shows Timberlake in full Steve Jobs mode, in control of an iRobot-style android and making it dance on stage in front of a group of tech experts, before moving it into some truly bizarre sex positions with a group of female dancers.

Filthy was produced by Timberlake, alongside Danja and Timbaland - who between them have previously worked with the likes Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Madonna, Sam Smith as well as having a long relationship with Timberlake himself.

Many people had expected a more country-tinged lead single, after it was announced that country titan Chris Stapleton would appear on Timberlake's latest album. However, 'Filthy' leans more towards electro and R'n'B. Typically, it's been getting a mixed reaction from fans.

Justin Timberlake teasing us with a country album and releasing a sex song for robots is why I have trust issues.
