Justin Bieber

… ‘Being human is challenging.’ Photograph: Jon Kopaloff/Getty

Connoisseurs of documentaries that reveal the full horror of becoming famous – particularly at a young age – are currently spoilt for choice. Over on Netflix, there’s Taylor Swift’s Miss Americana

,

a film that makes 21st-century celebrity look like something you’d mete out as a last-ditch punishment: a lonely, exhausting world of constant scrutiny, unending bullshit and dealings with people ostensibly on your side whose commitment to your best interests looks shaky to say the least. Meanwhile, on YouTube, there’s Justin Bieber’s Seasons . The latter isn’t intended as a cautionary tale. Quite the opposite. It’s a 10-part puff piece, the ruthlessly clear-eyed, non-partisan tone of which can be gleaned from the titles of its episodes: Making Magic, Bieber’s Back. It’s designed to assure all and sundry that its star is recovered from mental and physical illness, and years of drug use that apparently began when he was 13. But an ineffable unease oozes from the screen. If Bieber appears better than he was during the tour for his 2015 album Purpose

– during the

London shows, he stood miserably on stage, unable to muster the enthusiasm even to mime to a backing track – he still seems fragile and troubled, talking with his head in his hands about the effort it takes him to get out of bed in the morning, explaining how the oxygen chamber he keeps in the studio “decreases anxiety”. “Being human,” he says at one point, “is challenging”.

Facebook

Twitter

Pinterest

For all the onscreen captions giving viewers details of how to contact mental health and substance abuse helplines, the documentaries are patently not a philanthropic exercise: they’ve been made to promote Bieber’s new album. It arrived heralded by the single Yummy, which if nothing else, offered a stark indicator of the point pop music has reached in 2020. It was apparently designed with the intention of becoming a sensation on TikTok, the vastly popular social network where kids post short video clips. The chorus – “you’ve got that yummy yum” – was meme-able nonsense, the rest went in one ear and out the other. That was the point. On its own terms, it worked a treat – TikTok ubiquity followed – although the question of whether pop music might be better off setting its artistic sights a fraction higher than coming up with a memorable 10-second jingle, a tricked-out 21st-century equivalent of “For mash, get Smash”, or “Washing machines live longer with Calgon”, hung rather heavily over the

enterprise.

Justin Bieber: Changes If Yummy seemed cynical – bolstered by instructions to fans on how to game the streaming services and get it to No 1 – then at least that’s not an accusation you can level at the rest of Changes. Indeed, listening to it after watching the first few episodes of Seasons, you find yourself wondering if the man behind it really wants to be as successful as he was. The kind of big-name songwriters and producers whose efforts boosted Purpose to multi-platinum success – BloodPop, Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco – are noticeable by their absence. Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels, who co-wrote the squillion-selling Sorry, were last spotted writing for the ex-girlfriend who inspired it, Selena Gomez. Also absent are sure-fire

smash hits.

Instead, it deals largely in low-key, short, floaty paeans to Bieber’s wife, Hailey Baldwin – “it’s a blessing that you’re in my life”, “you make sure I’m comfortable”, “what are our kids going to be like?”, etc – and to his faith. The title track is over almost before it begins, unexpectedly grinding to a halt with a spoken-word section: “People change, circumstances change, but God always stays the same.” > It feels subdued and unassuming, which are curious things for > mainstream pop to be You get an occasional whiff of mumble rap in the vocal delivery of Forever, which comes with a guest appearance from Post Malone, and a hint of R&B grind on Take It Out On Me, but its primary sounds are pillowy electronics and acoustic ballads. It isn’t entirely devoid of hooks – the chorus of Running Over sticks fast – and nor is it badly done: the dense mesh of synths on Second Emotion is suitably heady, the effects-laden guitar on closer At Least For Now has an intriguingly psychedelic tint. And Bieber sings it all beautifully enough to make you wish they’d dispensed with the liberal slathering of Auto-Tune that has the side-effect of rendering evidently heartfelt sentiments and performances distant and faintly robotic. It just feels subdued and unassuming, which are curious things for mainstream pop to be. It’s a tentative, rather than all-guns-blazing, return, with a by-any-means-necessary bubblegum single dutifully tacked on to throw his record label a bone. In fact, it feels exactly like the kind of album that the clearly damaged man at the centre of the Seasons documentary would make. And, like the Seasons documentary, it makes you wonder what the future holds for

Justin Bieber .

THIS WEEK ALEXIS LISTENED TO Jacky Clark-Chisholm: Feel Good

Blige and Tia P)

It’s difficult to imagine pop music having anything more joy-inducing to offer this week than the sound of Mary J Blige trading vocals with the oldest member of gospel legends the Clark Sisters

AMERICA FACES AN EPIC CHOICE... ... in the coming year, and the results will define the country for a generation. These are perilous times. Over the last three years, much of what the Guardian holds dear has been threatened – democracy, civility, truth. This US administration is establishing new norms of behaviour. Anger and cruelty disfigure public discourse and lying is commonplace. Truth is being chased away. But with your help we can continue to put it center stage. Rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of fake news is no basis on which to inform the American public in 2020. The need for a robust, independent press has never been greater, and with your support we can continue to provide fact-based reporting that offers public scrutiny and oversight. Our journalism is free and open for all, but it's made possible thanks to the support we receive from readers like you across America in all 50

states.

On the occasion of its 100th birthday in 1921 the editor of the Guardian said, "Perhaps the chief virtue of a newspaper is its independence. It should have a soul of its own." That is more true than ever. Freed from the influence of an owner or shareholders, the Guardian's editorial independence is our unique driving force and

guiding principle.

JB no longer wants to dominate the charts or be so readily famous apparently.....umm, yeah, right!. Constantly updating on social media, even telling everyone about how epic his sex life is with his wife (very Christian JB). Obviously with his fame and vast wealth, doesn’t actually need to sell his craft constantly, so can sit back and bemoan his lot.

He's had every opportunity and he just shits on everything constantly, he has talent but always aims at mediocrity, and he's just substituted drugs with a christian cult. I generally don't like to talk badly of celebrities, but the way he squanders what he has is so annoying.

Recovered? Of course he has, now that he has joined the Hillsong

Church.

It's just another religious cult that teaches the oh so neo-liberal 'prosperity doctrine'.

The humour in your comment tells a great truth. The Guardian used to have really exceptional music coverage with a great slate of top writers. Its coverage was both wide and deep. If a really cool or much admired gig or music event was happening, you could be sure the The Guardian (along with Time Out magazine) would either preview it, report on it or both. Today that is no longer the case. These days its writers seem take their cues regarding what is cool and important from the PR agencies and press releases of the industry. It isn't just music. Starry eyed TV previews must be written up for everything new that appears on Netflix or similar. Terrestrial TV is now far too unhip for The Guardian to spend much time on. So you are right. If today's pervading ethos had been in place decades ago we would have been treated to treatises on the likes of Middle of the Road's new opus, alongside how Chas and Dave are the most profound songwriters of a generation.

Some of his stuff especially with Ed Sheehan is quite catchy. But Justin Bieber has been doing this since he was just a little boy and seems lost and directionless. He has been a cash cow for many especially his mum. When children are the main breadwinner in a family like Justin and the likes of Britney Spears no wonder they end up damaged. Children should be allowed to be children with boundaries and rules. He probably has his every whim catered but never really had a

childhood.

The album cover, the hair dye, the earnest r&b — it’s all such painfully blatant attempt to copy Frank Ocean’s vibe. I don’t think Bieber’s a bad guy, he just seems so lost.
