Objective by Justin Bieber, Made in the AM by One Direction

“Purpose” is about as loaded as album titles get.

The launch of the iTunes pre-order last month saw “Purpose” shoot to number one on the iTunes Top Album chart in over 90 countries. Among his most infamous non-musical moments, Bieber was caught racing a Lamborghini in Miami Beach while under the influence and without a license. Whose bright idea was it to go against Bieber anyway?

And just how sorry is Bieber? Bieber teams up with yet another teen sensation turned adult, Ariana Grande, on an acoustic version of “What Do You Mean?“.

Say what you will about Kanye, but that’s actually pretty good advice, and given what we’ve heard from Bieber 2.0, it seems to be advice Bieber has closely followed. Bieber’s breathy track “Children” consists of unlikely, if unspecific, social activism as he sings, “What about the children?” Earlier this week, the 21-year-old announced his goal tour, a 58-date trip across North America.

The two broke up in 2012, but Bieber still considers his first love to be The One – and it’s something he freely admits. I’m self-expressing with this album – I can’t skip on the moments that were dark, the moments that were happy, the ex-girlfriend stuff.

“I’m not made out of steel”, he goes on to assert in the chorus. For their perhaps final album, the young men who had become so synonymous with light pop chose to rock out.

Although a recent report by the Hollywood Life notes that Justin is determined to out-promote Niall Horan of One Direction, a few of the Biebs fans noted their disappointment with Justin’s decision to seemingly exploit the terrorist attack in Paris to promote a goal related event.

He is hoping to find somewhere to call home with the help of road manager Corey Gamble, who works for Justin’s manager Scooter Braun, but he is struggling to find a place where he can make as much noise as he wants without causing problems.

The What Do You Mean? singer sold his mansion in Calabasas, California in 2014 after getting into a number of disputes with fellow residents for throwing wild bashes and speeding his auto around the gated community.
