Around this time last year, Justin Bieber put out his fifth album, ‘Changes’. It was meant to pick up where the hugely successful ‘Purpose’ had left off five years earlier, while also ushering in a new era for the Canadian pop star. But it failed to live up to expectations, lacking the passion, direction and individualism that his previous effort had thrived upon. Bieber’s sense of self had been lost and replaced with bubblegum bangers with little heart.
But life’s about trial and error, and with new album ‘Justice’, Bieber appears to have rediscovered his mojo, resulting in one of his most focused projects to date.
