We are now less than a month away from The BRIT Awards, and performance announcements have been coming thick and fast since the beginning of the year. The latest huge name to be added to the already bulging list of performers is the fantastic Justin Timberlake.

Justin is a three-time BRIT Award winner and has recently enjoyed comeback success with the release of three singles from his forthcoming fifth, solo, studio album 'Man of the Woods'.

After much anticipation Justin's collaboration with country singer Chris Stapleton 'Say Something' dropped last week and we have been playing it on heat.

The video features both singers in a deserted building. Using a continuous shot the camera follows Justin as he walks through the corridors of a huge building and eventually comes across Chris and other members of the band.

Watch the music video for 'Say Something' below:

Last week, it was announced that Rita Ora would also be performing at this year's BRITs. With four previous BRIT nominations, Rita is no stranger to the annual music awards. In recent years the 'Anywhere' singer has had 11 top ten singles and a number 1 album, she has also become one of the most successful UK pop acts from the last decade.

Justin and Rita will join the line-up which also includes Foo Fighters, Rag’n’Bone Man, Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Dua Lipa and Sam Smith who will also perform on the night.

This year's Critics' Choice winner, Jorja Smith, will also be taking to the stage to perform with the 2017 winner, Rag'n'Bone Man. Jorja was announced as the winner of the Critics' Choice in December 2017 and awarded the prestigious award at** The BRITs Are Coming** event, presented by Emma Willis earlier this year.
