Justin Timberlake says he plans to release new music in the near future: a second volume to his just-released album “The 20/20 Experience.”

During an album release party in Los Angeles on Monday, Mr. Timberlake confirmed reports that he plans to put out another album this year. He said the album released last week was “only the first part.”

“There is another half,” he said. “I’m not giving you a release date.”

Questlove, the Roots drummer who has worked closely with Mr. Timberlake over the last week on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,” said in comments posted on the Web site Okayplayer that Mr. Timberlake, 32, intended to put out a second album of 10 songs in November.

The new album marks the return of Mr. Timberlake to the world of pop music after six years in which he focused on his acting career, appearing in films like “The Social Network” and “Friends With Benefits.” It has been at the top of the iTunes album chart since it became available to stream last week and is likely to top the Billboard 200 chart next week.
