Justin Bieber

i imagine the realization that they shd prob not really push the project came some time after the recording of it, like they were trying to make a grown n sexy justin a la jt timberlake but it kinda went off the rails

does bieber have a new album in the can, did they get diplo to be in charge of it, cause

the diplo track was one of the stronger ones from believe

Journals was great though.

also 10 songs from that album charted on the hot 100 based on itunes sales alone

seems to me like they wanted to throw some music out there just to satiate his fans but w/o rolling out a whole album. maybe they were testing the r&b waters too.

i think if it was a scrapped new direction the list of people who worked on it would look a lot different. the most famous person who produced on that record aside from blackchild was t-minus/

i like this song too. i didn't plan on liking it, but i like it and think it is good.

Bieber's gonna get praise for undersinging for the kind of post-house track that would've been all the rage by Gorgon City two years ago.

i don't think y'all need to worry about bieber 'getting praised' (by ppl whose opinions are seen as more legitimate/valid than his fans') lol

What Gorgon City song does it sound like?( serious question)

i wish the video was daytime beach instead of nighttime noir tbh...doesn't fit the ~vibe~

I'm always surprised when I like anything of this nature, but I like "What Do You Mean?"

I really like that Jack U track that he's on

have come around hard on "what," one of the stronger singles of the year for sure

I love this song.

OMG YES UNICORN KID

Molanphy looks at the stats and the music and more of "What Do You Mean" plus "Where Are U Now"

Re: the Slate article, it seems clear already that the song is reaching a wider audience than just his fanbase. His fanbase almost certainly turned out in huge numbers in the first week, but the song was still #1 in sales in its second week despite the typical decline, and though it fell in the second week on the Hot 100, it only fell to #3. For comparison, any given One Direction lead single debuts high in the top 3 in the first week due to their fans and then almost completely vacates the top 10 by the second week due to a huge sales decline and no radio support. On that note, "What Do You Mean" is currently top 15 on radio overall less than a month after it's release to any major radio format. So I think it's safe to say "What Do You Mean?" is appealing to more than just his fanbase.

Sounded really great on Fallon. Whoever the sound engineer is for that show should win some kind of award every year.

Or go work for SNL.

ha yeeeah

love this song

I've learned to love "What Do You Mean." Nice to know incessant radio play can do this.

New single:

sorta falling into a more recognizable stylistic groove now
fun video

I liked the last one but this one sounds indistinguishable to me idk

great song imo

loving nu beebz

i think i like "sorry" more than "what do you mean," love how measured the production is

sick

can't wait to hear Sorry in a club, kudos to Skrillex for the production

kudos to Blood Diamonds also. its a collab.

of course these guys are gonna be on fucking hoverboards all the goddamn time

v disappointed in this era compared to believe, these songs are so wet

i dunno what 'wet' means in this context but i agree, they're wet as shit

Enjoying his current grooves, as is Em. Liked the TFI appearance, having hated the video for WDYM. This is fine too.

we've only heard 3 songs and 2/3 are far better than "boyfriend" at least so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"wet" like dipped in formaldehyde and dopey?

wet is that confusing an adjective? drippy and bland

"boyfriend" is probably his second best ever song

"what do u mean" is obviously his best single by a mile
