Justin Timberlake still has the music in him -- and he promises that he'll let it out one of these days.

Speaking at a re-launch event for the MySpace social network on Thursday night, Justin insisted he hasn't retired from music, no matter what the pundits tell you. He said, "You're the ones who stopped talking about me as a musician. You guys act like I said I've retired. [My music] comes from a pure place. If anything, I'm honoring it in the best way that I know how, but when it's time, I'll be ready. I'm not less inspired, I didn't give up, but until I have something to say, I was taught to keep my mouth shut. That's how my mother raised me."
