SWAG

To have your whole career be propped up by having a certain pop image, covered in glitz and glam. Choreographed performances on stage and to strip it all away to reflect this next chapter in his life.

I think that’s what stands out is this maturity into marriage, life, fatherhood and the way he was able to do it through great songwriting and not being cheesy. It’s also such an intentionally great album about California as most of these songs sound like they were written under palm trees during the golden hour and of course the geographic refrences.

I think the album could have done without a few songs to flow better but overall my favorite album from Bieber.

even though i felt like everyone was hating at first saying they wanted his old sound back i rly rocked w this album from the jump. i feel like this album really reflects where he is in life and captures those themes of marriage, love, fatherhood, and adulthood in general so so well. the druski skits weren’t really doing it for me (and i’m a druski fan) but i get that bieber wanted to respond to a few things in a casual / creative way. very very few skips outside of those
