Justin Bieber

did anyone listen to the new album?
it's more close to journals, but it's sounding very samey overall.

I had stopped listening to him after “Yummy”, but “Peaches” sounds good at least. he’s bought all the r&b, rap and even afropop (Burna Boy on a so-so track) collabs money can buy, but I’m not sure I’m keen to indulge him and his “MLK Interlude”s.

it’s hard to keep up with the guy (if you would want to). I see that apart from a Deluxe version of the album he has now also dropped a new EP which has him channeling Wizkid of all people on the title track:

i can't stand "peaches"

i have more patience for Bieber than I probably should but even I think there needs to be legislation against him starting a song "BIG UP TO MY BRUDDA"

i dislike "peaches" also, no idea how it's become his most effortless hit since purpose

well it's easily the best single he's released since purpose... the other singles off this album are just totally dire, yummy was a pretty big hit despite being deathly corny, the quavo one i can barely remember how it goes. "peaches" is an up tempo summer song with a memorable chorus, i'm surprised it took them this long to find a song even this good

"yummy" and the quavo song were from the last album not this one, which kinda underscores how indistinctive his music has been and still is in these past couple years

you said since purpose tho

sorry i misunderstood what you wrote

i don't hate "peaches" but bieber's presence on it is clearly the worst part and while pleasant otherwise it's pretty blandly forgettable

I live about 20 minutes from Stratford. He's home today for some event, so much posting in the Stratford Life Facebook group. St. Marys, where I am, relatively quiet.
