Justin Timberlake & Adam Driver's Duet
The Coen brothers’ upcoming film,
Inside Llewyn Davis, is not only getting Oscar buzz, but it has one of the most talked-about soundtracks in recent memory. The story follows the trajectory of Llewyn Davis, a fictional folk hero unabashedly inspired by Bob Dylan, with a little of Lou Reed’s piss-n-vinegar thrown in, too. Set amid NYC’s midcentury cultural renaissance, also a pivotal time for pop music, the movie features a contemporary music icon influenced by the era: Justin Timberlake. The singer-songwriter/actor not only stars as Jim Berkey, but he's all over the "T Bone" Burnett-produced soundtrack. As he well should be. Is there any greater modern-day renaissance man than JT?
Girls star Adam Driver shows off his singing chops, too, and even joins Timberlake on the Velvet Underground-lite track “Please Mr. Kennedy.” Their spot, which also features Oscar Isaac, is a witty and raucous highlight of the film.
Inside Llewyn Davis will be in theaters on December 6. Until then, enjoy Timberlake and Driver’s surprisingly raw and thoroughly impressive performance below. (
