After the slightly nauseating 'Live Your Life', 'Dead And Gone' offers a welcome break from the Europop sound that's infiltrated one too many hip-hop songs of late. Securing Timberlake on this track is the real winner though. His polished, distinctive R&B vocals are seeped with emotion as he despairs about "trying to find his way back home", neatly reminding us that his next album can't be far off now. As for T.I., well, he does an alright job here too.
