Don't let the flannel, the whiskey, the album art, the album teaser, the tracklist, or features fool you: Justin Timberlake's forthcoming album is definitely not a country album, according to him.

While mid-haircut, the former boyband leader hopped on Instagram to share his thoughts about his birthday and threw in a little tidbit about Man of the Woods, the album that definitely seems like a country album despite the interesting music videos he's released so far.

"By the way, the album is named after my son... so stop telling me I'm making a country album," Timberlake said on Instagram. His son, Silas Timberlake, is two years old and, well, according to a quick Google search it does mean "of the forest" in Latin.

"It feels like mountains, trees, campfires. Like Wild West... but now," explains actress (and his wife) Jessica Biel in the trailer Timberlake released in December. With that, and songs like "Breeze off the Pond," you can't fault us for thinking it's definitely not a country album—especially with Chris Stapleton featured on a track.
