Justin Timberlake has a new album coming out Feb. 2 called Man of the Woods, and it looks like this time around he's been inspired by mountains, wind-swept plains, and horses.

In the above teaser, Timberlake broods in various rugged jackets while hanging out by campfires and steeds with a bit of one of his new songs playing throughout. The whole thing feels more like a perfume commercial than a preview for a new album, but hey, who are we to tell the former NSYNC star what to do.

In the video, Timberlake says Man of the Woods is inspired by where he's from (Tennessee) and his family, specifically mentioning his son and his wife. His wife, Jessica Biel, gives her two cents about what Man of the Woods sounds like to her.

"It feels like mountains, trees, campfires, like Wild West but now," she says in a voice over.

Sounds like it might be pretty country. We'll know for sure when something drops Friday -- presumably a lead single. Expect to hear many of the songs when Timberlake performs at the Super Bowl Feb 4.
