I've been a big Justin Beiber fan ever since the release of his 2009 album, My World. Before that, I really didn't understand any of his work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on My World where Beiber's presence became more apparent. I think Bigger is his undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of Beiber's preceding unreleased work. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble mixing of Beiber, Pensado, and Wuepper. You can practically hear every nuance of every reverb. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to First Dance, (featuring Usher). In this song, Justin Beiber addresses the problems of abusive political authority. One Less Lonely Girl is the most moving pop song of the decade, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. His lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Justin Beiber's solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like Bigger and First Dance (featuring usher). Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Justin Beiber works best within the confines of the studio, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Love Me, a great, great song, a personal favorite.
