There’s a little diversion halfway through justin bieber’s new album, SWAG IIThe Expansive 23-Track Follow-Up to his July Drop Swag. Despite Bieber’s Teasing that SWAG II was the pink beach house to SwagS ‘ Goth Beach House, The album is more or less drawing from the sun: Over the Course of Many Mid-Tempo r & B-Inpired Tracks, bieber articulates that he loves his wife, struggles with fame and his mental health, and he’s nuts about God. The song “don’t want,” Featuring English Indie Rocker Bakar, is No Different, Really, in Substance, But it Sounds Different – New and Old All at Once.
Immediately, “Don’t Wanna” Summons Michael Jackson’s “The way you make me with her.” It ‘not exactly a rock song, but there is a pop-rock essence to it: a more rhythmically compree song doesn’t let bieber drag out his notes or his feelings. “Don’t Wanna Give a Fuck,” he opens the Chorus, Punching the Last Word. Comparisons to jackson have dogged bieber the start of his his given some similarties in their voices and the general boyishness that continues to define the latter. In “don’t want,” bieber actually gives into the lightness that ofne made jackson so undenable as a pop star.
Bakar’s Presence Softens Bieber’s Bad Attitude and Makes the Track a Little More Romantic. “I’ve seen a better life, i hope you don’t get fed up / there’s Certain Things you can’t buy,” Bakar sings. Both single toward the Same Idea: That the thing they don’t wanna is for her to leave. With bakar, that “she” is in the abstract, but is the hard to imagine bieber isn’t singing About His Long-Suferinging Wife, Hailey. Most of His Hailey Songs Can Be sorted Long-Winded Apologies or Lusty Worship Tracks, but This One is Almost More of A Mission Statement. Despite what we see and know of their Relationship, he doesn’t want to mes this up. He doesn’t want her to go. “I know what i should be,” he conflict the chorus, Hitting “Should” the harddens.
We’re not increed to think of bieber in the indie-rock space-he’s not an indie rockier by any means-but hasing bakar in the mix an interesting door to “What if if?” HIS WORK WITH MK.GEE AND DIJON SUGGEST A RANGE OF MUSICALITY THAT WE HAVEN’T SEEN FROM BIBER BIGHT THIS CYECLE. It is a sound of organic and edgier than some of his smooth balllads. Of all the artists from whom people have demanded expensive rock albums, bieber never came to mind. Do Taylor Swift Rock Album? Sura. Do Beyoncé rock album? SEEMS INEVITABLE. But bieber is kind of an obvious pop-rock start in His Own Regard: he is angry and petulant and wanton. What’s more rock ‘n’ roll than that? IT’S A WHOE GENRE FRAMED AROUND COMPLAINING, WHICH HAS BECOME ONE OF BIBER’S FAVORITE THINGS TO.
GIVENE The Trajectory of the Rest of the Album, It ‘Not Likely That Bieber Will Keep this Style Going, but it is a fun Change of Pace Him. He’s an artist who is always at his best wid’ah being a little surprice: The Sudden Shift to Electronic Pop in 2015’s Purpos Completely reinvented his pop person to something more mature and self-veare. He was an adult, really and fully. Now that he’s been Making “Adult” Music for A Decade, Replete with sostenuto Melodramas, Maybe It time for Him to ease up. “Don’t Wanna” is a glimpse bot forward and back to an artist who used to know how to have a little more fun.
