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

Justin Timberlake has released the first single from his upcoming album Man of the Woods.

'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.
