美國(guó)五人男子演唱團(tuán)體*NSYNC與流行歌手“Better Place”重聚——他們20多年來的第一首歌：LISTEN

*NSYNC正式回歸！

The pop band featuring Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Justin Timberlake and Lance Bass have released “Better Place,” their first song together in over 20 years. The new song off the soundtrack for the upcoming movie Trolls Band Together finally arrived on Friday after the group began teasing it and their long-awaited reunion in August. 
由Chris Kirkpatrick、JC Chasez、Joey Fatone、Justin Timberlake和Lance Bass組成的流行樂隊(duì)發(fā)布了20多年來他們合作的第一首歌曲《Better Place》。即將上映的電影《巨魔樂隊(duì)在一起》的原聲音樂中的新歌終于在周五問世，此前該樂隊(duì)開始調(diào)侃這首歌以及他們期待已久的8月重聚。

“Better Place” is an infectious pop banger — calling back the ‘90s and ‘00s icons’ early boy band sound, while giving it a contemporary update with a disco-pop beat. Each member gets their own moment to shine, too, while Timberlake, 42, carries the chorus. “Just let me take you to a better place / I'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight / Yeah, if you let me show the way / I'm so excited to see you excited,” the hitmaker croons, taking longtime fans and new listeners alike to a dance-worthy euphoria. 
“Better Place”是一首富有感染力的流行歌曲，它喚起了90年代和00年代偶像早期男孩樂隊(duì)的聲音，同時(shí)用迪斯科流行節(jié)拍對(duì)其進(jìn)行了現(xiàn)代更新。每個(gè)成員也都有自己的閃光時(shí)刻，而42歲的Timberlake則擔(dān)任合唱。“讓我?guī)闳ヒ粋€(gè)更好的地方/我今晚會(huì)讓你親吻天空/是的，如果你讓我?guī)?看到你興奮，我很興奮，”這位熱門歌手低吟道，帶著老粉絲和新聽眾都沉浸在一種值得跳舞的喜悅中。

Although the “Bye Bye Bye” band has reunited in the past — teaming up for their Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2018 and in honor of Timberlake’s video vanguard award at the 2013 MTV VMAs — this is the first time they’ve ever dropped new music. 
盡管“Bye Bye”樂隊(duì)過去曾重聚——2018年合作參加好萊塢星光大道頒獎(jiǎng)典禮，并在2013年MTV頒獎(jiǎng)典禮上為Timberlake的視頻先鋒獎(jiǎng)?lì)C獎(jiǎng)——但這是他們第一次放棄新音樂。

The Y2K stars’ last released “Girlfriend,” off their 2001 album Celebrity as a single featuring Nelly in early 2002. It was also their last song to chart, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. 
Y2K明星上一次發(fā)行《女朋友》是在他們2001年的專輯《名人》中，2002年初以Nelly為主角的單曲。這也是他們最后一首登上排行榜的歌曲，在公告牌熱門100強(qiáng)中排名第5。

“Better Place” was confirmed when a new trailer for Trolls Band Together dropped in September, revealing clips of the track and announcing its release date. 
當(dāng)Trolls Band Together的新預(yù)告片于9月發(fā)布時(shí)，《更好的地方》得到了證實(shí)，預(yù)告片中透露了這首歌的片段并宣布了發(fā)行日期。

The fivesome officially reunited at the 2023 Video Music Awards, shocking fans as they appeared on stage together to present the award for best pop video. 
這五人在2023年音樂錄影帶大獎(jiǎng)上正式重聚，當(dāng)他們一起出現(xiàn)在舞臺(tái)上頒發(fā)最佳流行音樂錄影帶獎(jiǎng)時(shí)，震驚了歌迷。

The appearance was met by huge screams from the crowd, including Taylor Swift who later accepted the Moon Person from the band (as well as a few friendship bracelets). 
觀眾發(fā)出了巨大的尖叫聲，其中包括泰勒·斯威夫特，她后來接受了樂隊(duì)的月亮人（以及一些友誼手鐲）。

“Are you doing something? What's going to happen now?” Swift asked the “It’s Gonna Be Me” band on stage. “They're going to do something and I need to know what it is!" 
“你在做什么嗎？現(xiàn)在會(huì)發(fā)生什么？”斯威夫特在臺(tái)上問“It’s Gonna Be Me”樂隊(duì)。“他們要做點(diǎn)什么，我需要知道是什么！”

Since then, they’ve shared a handful of sweet posts on social media celebrating getting back together. 
從那以后，他們?cè)谏缃幻襟w上分享了一些甜蜜的帖子，慶祝復(fù)合。

The same day that *NSYNC confirmed “Better Place” was coming soon, Timberlake also shared a heartfelt video of the group back in the studio again on Instagram. In the caption, the “SexyBack” artist wrote, “When the stars align… got my brothers back together in the studio to work on something fun and the energy was special. Better Place is coming 9/29 LOVE Y’ALL.”
就在*NSYNC確認(rèn)《Better Place》即將上映的同一天，Timberlake還在Instagram上分享了一段團(tuán)隊(duì)再次回到工作室的感人視頻。在標(biāo)題中，這位“SexyBack”藝術(shù)家寫道：“當(dāng)星星對(duì)齊時(shí)……讓我的兄弟們回到工作室，一起做一些有趣的事情，能量很特別。Better Place將于9月29日到來。”愛你們。”
