One of the most appreciated contemporary music artists of our times – Justin Timberlake, brings in front of you today one of his most loved songs ever - Cry Me a River.
Justin Timberlake debuted in 1992 and became one of the world’s best-selling music artists, selling over 88 million records worldwide up to date.
Timberlake has won many awards and accolades, for example, ten Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, nine Billboard Music Awards, and many others.
We thought that the free Cry Me a River piano sheet music is a great choice to interpret at your piano at home, as everyone who hears it, will for sure not only recognize it but also love it.
The song was released as part of Justin Timberlake’s debut solo album titled Justified, in November 2002.
It was released through Jive Records and it is considered a contemporary hit and part of the R&B music genre.
Cry Me a River was written by Timberlake, Timothy Mosley, and Scott Storch and it was produced by Timbaland and Scott Storch.
The story behind the lyrics of the free Cry Me a River piano sheets is known to be about the artist’s relationship and break up with Britney Spears.
Cry Me a River has a great composition, having a length of 4:50 minutes, including elements like electric piano, beatbox, guitars, Arabian riffs, and Gregorian chants.
It was praised by the music critics and it won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, it was certified double platinum by the ARIA and platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.
The music video accompanying the song was directed by Francis Lawrence and it is considered controversial, as it features the main character invading the home of his ex-lover and films himself having sexual activity with another woman.
Cry Me a River remains one of a kind, as it has been covered by many other artists, but never had chart success as the original version, by Justin Timberlake.
