The world’s most famous teenager only has a couple of years left before that title gets passed on to someone else. With his third album Believe, Justin Bieber wants to portray maturity. After the reviews came in, it seems critics are comparing Believe on Beiber’s career graph to another pop nyota namesake, Justin Timberlake.
In an barua pepe interview, Bieber repeats that his new album is not just for his dedicated shabiki base of ‘beliebers.’ “I just wanted to portray a little bit zaidi maturity in my music. I think that in addition to my young fans, the muziki in this album is something that a zaidi mature audience can appreciate as well.”
Just as his mashabiki are “beliebers”, one can’t help but speculate there’s zaidi to it than Beiber says was the thought behind his album title. “Belief has always been a central theme in my life wewe know. Whether wewe believe in God, in your dreams, in yourself – it is good to believe. It gives people hope that they can attain their dreams.”“I really wanted my mashabiki to get something new and I’ve really tried that in this album. I’ve experimented with different genres and I hope my mashabiki appreciate it,” he says. Judging kwa Bieber’s mission statement with this album, it’s evident that the album tries to push mbele to take an evolutionary step. His single ‘As Long as wewe upendo me’ was released on June 11, and has since faired moderately well on muziki charts across the globe. Bieber is excited about the track, although he seems to run out of things to say about it: “Oh I really upendo the song – it’s one of my favourites from the album just because it’s such a nice song. We also have Big Sean imba in it because he’s new and fresh and it just adds to the song.”
Pop muziki relies heavily on collaborations, and the nyota quotient on this album is not just limited to Bieber and Big Sean. His crew includes Drake, Nicki Minaj, Ludacris and lists mentor Usher as the executive producer. “I upendo all these artists and their music, so it was an amazing experience for me to record with each of them. Usher is someone that I really look up to and I’ve learnt a lot from him over the years.”
As for his wishlist for guest spots on his album, he says, “The one wish that will never be fulfilled is that I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Michael Jackson.”
But Bieber can follow in the King of Pop’s footsteps in at least one way, kwa playing a onyesha in India at the height of his career, just as Michael Jackson did in 1996. This decade’s (arguably) most maarufu singer makes no promises though: “I don’t have a visit scheduled yet but I really do want to visit India soon. I’ve heard so much about it, I really would upendo to meet all my mashabiki from India.”
