Review
Justin Bieber really brought his A-game with his fourth studio album, "Purpose," released back in November 2015. This album isn't just another chart-topper, which it absolutely is, by the way—breaking a Beatles record that stood unchallenged for over half a century. It's a deep dive into Bieber's personal experiences and shows off his reflective side across a variety of genres like pop, R&B, soul, and a dash of EDM. Tracks like "What Do You Mean?" and "Sorry" probably kept your dance shoes busy, while "Love Yourself" might have had you in your feels.
The creation of "Purpose" was nothing short of a musical extravaganza with contributions from stars across the spectrum including Big Sean, Halsey, and even a touch of Skrillex and Diplo, ensuring nobody missed the beat drops. This blend of talents introduced a refreshing mix of tropical house vibes and smooth acoustic notes, making the album a feast for the ears. Bieber's vocals glide through each track, really packing a punch of emotion and sincerity, making you feel every word. Plus, with such polished production, every song seamlessly transitions into the next, keeping you hooked from start to finish. So, it's safe to say, "Purpose" really shows how much Justin has matured, both as a musician and in his high tops! - Bianca
