Justin Bieber
My World 2.0

The album begins with a very relaxing Hawaiian guitar, Justin's sad-puppy voice, and then the song picks up, has a relentless rhythm, a brief interlude by Akon, and fades out. This is how My World 2.0 begins, the first album (after an EP) by the sixteen-year-old prodigy Justin Bieber.

I would have never expected it, this album is so fresh and new, you can feel the impending revolution, this boy is destined to change the face of pop music.

Somebody to Love is another excellent electronic music track that seems to pass through the years unscathed by trends and changes, with a background sound that reminds one of the ethnic and hyper-spatial rhythms of Brian Eno. An ever-moving spiral that sucks in the mind.
It continues with Stuck in the Moment, an unending march that also showcases the singer’s extreme sensitivity with very subtle and at times effeminate vocalizations. A person now, who needs love, has grown up too soon.
U Smile, a beautiful piano jingle ballad with highlighted percussion and modified voice. All the songs are excellent pop such as we haven't seen in a long time (except for Eenie Meenie). And this Bieber, whose soul surfaces in different moments even with an effeminate voice.

The album started without too many pretensions, a bit demoralized, but picks up again with Runaway Love, Grand Hotel muffled atmospheres and nothing...

Two more tracks of music that harken back to the '80s, Never Let You Go which reeks of cosmic emptiness and Overboard, the album’s masterpiece (a slowed-down rap with the crystal voice of Jessica Jarrell and a choir of violins and piano, something celestial) before reaching the album's weakest track, yet also one of Bieber’s most famous, a nursery rhyme paired with Sean Kingston that truly embarrasses the listener.

Up is more or less the same as the others except for a church organ that is present in the background for the whole duration of the song, sometimes rising to create otherworldly metallic atmospheres.

And it concludes quietly with That Should Be Me, a ballad for classical guitar that brings the goodbye of this fantastic singing revelation. An album that didn’t want to attract attention but achieved great success. It seemed right to point it out to you. An excellent Christmas gift for your girlfriend, but only if you’re under 16 years old, because although the album is good/excellent, it remains a childish and very naive work.

An album to be listened to passively, offering many dreamlike landscapes.

Keep it up, Justin, we're all with you!
