    Es un álbum muy bueno, pero quizá algo diferente a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados, por eso puede no gustarle al resto de personas. Personalmente este álbum me gusta mucho, el ritmo y todas las canciones en todo en general son arte.

    There's a totally different vibe than the one we are used from JB, however that doesn't mean that it's bad. In fact, I loved it. Justin is finally exploring his vocals more. On every song we can feel what he is saying because his voice is just everything! A 9 because maybe I'm not so used to R&B.

    Tbh r&b is not my cup of tea. But i love his previous album, Journals. Its really beautiful. And for this album, im kinda sad because i dont really like yummy. But then get me and intention got me smiling! Its so good. And so does the rest of the album. His voice is amazing, beautiful lyric and melodies. Give it 9/10 because 10/10 is for Journals!!!!

    Changes pays homage undoubtably to Justin Bieber's old style but also transition nicely into a new and mature sound! With Changes they found a balance of Fun and Mature. This album oozes Love and Happiness! Great album. Possibly one of his best!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First thing I'd like to say about this album is that it really surprised me. After the singles I was kinda ify that it was gonna sound basic I don't know... It just didn't hyped me up. Now... This is an R&B album so this won't probably be everyone's cup of tea. But it's very refreshing from all the bubblegum pop on the radio. The first song 'all around me' is a perfect intro it sets the tone for what you can expect from the rest of the album. Great lyrically and vocally (btw this counts for all the songs). The baby sound at the end was a little confusing but we'll look past that haha. Habitual: loved the pre chorus. Very beautiful love song.
    Intentions: one of the singles. Don't get me wrong it is a cute song. I just wished that it had a difference beat between the chorus and the verses. That would have made it better. But still it's good. Justin can't make anything bad to be honest. Yummy: It's good. It's cute. it's fun. I find it a feel good song. Not all songs need to be taken so seriously. Catchy. Forever: I'm gonna be honest I listened to the demo version with only Justin on it. I can see this being a single. I had and still have high hopes for this one. I adored the demo so I thought with Post Malone on it it would be a smash hit. Look I like the collab with Post but I wished they would sing both on the chorus they don't really interact on the track and it kinda bothers me. It's just people waiting for their turn to sing. If it doesn't make the track better then I don't see the necessity for a collab. I also don't really know how to feel bout clever's feature. It's not my fave but still I see it growing on me. But again very catchy song. I can see it playing on the radio.
    Running over: Again don't know how to feel about this feature. I adore Justin's parts, I really do. I think I need to listen to this one a few times. Lil Dicky's rap could have been better. Take it out on me: love it. It's a vibe. Getting down to this
    Second emotion : the first time I listened to this It was my favorite, I loved it. Can't really explain it, the beat is just

    RnB Masterpiece, the production and vocal range in this album is insane! It mainly showcases what he can do with his vocals and the vocal maturity from years ago to now is amazing. He taps in to rnb roots, sort of mature version of Journals.

    Changes is completely different than any album he's released before. This album shows off his vocal skills, his falsettos are flawless throughout the whole album. This isn't his best album, people are being too harsh when it isn't a terrible album.

    Many fandoms have raided the ratings not just on metacritic but on itunes aswell. Anyways, this isnt a terrible album and some of y'all gotta stop pretending its awful when its not.

    Not too bad. Justin Bieber's newest LP, "Changes" has catchy tunes, but just doesn't have that magic touch like on his previous albums. Nothing impressive is present, unfortunately. At least the music is good to chill out to. Hopefully, the Biebs tackles something different in the future.

    Após cinco anos de seu dançante e contagiante álbum Purpose, Bieber retorna em ritmo mais lento. Intitulado "Changes", o quinto álbum do Canadense tenta mudanças trazendo batidas que flertam com o trap e vocais afinados. O cantor enquadra Changes no estilo r&bieber propondo a quem ouve uma expectativa ao estilo.

    Os acertos ficam por conta das faixas "Habitual" e "Get Me", que fazem jus ao estilo proposto e seguem uma inteligente linha exploratória musical do cantor, com pano de fundo bem construído e química de acertos nos vocais. Mesmo na ausência de melismas, a linha mais romântica do álbum não decepciona, "All Around Me", "E.T.A" e "Confirmation", trazem um instrumental simples e bem enquadrado com os agudos elevados a excelência pelo cantor, e por fim "That's What Love Is" que passa pela mesma construção das músicas anteriores demonstrando influência de cantores noventista do estilo. Embora tudo isso, o álbum perde força com, "Forever" "Intentions" "Running Over", "Second Emotion" todas em colaboração, que despencam sobre o trap contemporâneo, que em sub-graves não apresentam o tempero necessário para elevar o quinto trabalho do cantor.

    O retorno da estrela global que detinha alta expectativa sofreu um banho de água fria, muito em função de sua tentativa de emplacar hits como em seu último álbum.

    Bieber tenta monstrar seu amadurecimento direcionando cem por cento de cada faixas a sua esposa, com letras românticas e que revelam seu incontestável amor a senhora Bieber. Entretanto, a repetição do início ao fim do mesmo tópico acaba limitando o álbum à nichos que estejam na mesma situação do cantor o que para alguns pode se tornar repetitivo.

    Há preciosidade em Changes, mas no meio de tanto "mais do mesmo", você terá que separar as jóias do álbum em uma playlist se quiser ter uma boa bieber experience.

Now , for Biebers voice it is very good. He sounds perfect and his vocals are amazing. But the problem with this album is that has a very sweetener sound. All the songs are about love and his romance with his wife. There are not so many people that can identify with these songs. Especially the more young fans that JB has. It is monotonic and boring some time.
    After all these years you expect from Bieber to show in his music all the struggles he had in the past 2-3 years and meanwhile the found of happiness with his marriage and all this stuff. You expect feelings , passion , pain in the music. Songs that gonna make history. And not necessary hits. Instead of this we hear a full happy Justin talk about his romance all over again.
    Last point i have to mark is that JB has changed his style in 2020 to a more slow and smoother sound , more balads, more low tempo. No hits in the album. Not a song that will make a significant difference. We were used from Biebs to break every single record with his hits. Thats not gonna happen now and its not bad. Just we have to adapt to his new style. He expresss his shelf better that way so just move on and lets enjoy the new chapter... Anyways i dont think that Justin will not make hits anymore. He will team up with some big name or he will release a single out of nowhere and its gonna break records for the radios..
    Overall , i think that its not a bad album. Its a nice album that you can hear while chilling. JB didnt fail. Just didnt make the difference. He had the chance to create a masterpeace , but he chose the safe way. A way that can easily keep him in the spotlightand make his career more sustainable. Good album capable of bringing him some awards and records but not something special. Keep it up BIEBS!!.

    In the first songs, the melody is nice to hear, but when the 4 song passes, the whole album starts to feel the same. Bieber failed to mature as an artist, vague lyrics and generic beat, it is by far one of the worst jobs of 2020. Good luck next time.

    This album lacks the killer voice and arrangement layers from the previous album. Nor does he has the raw talent in beginning of his career. Now, the dance is in slow motion. The most minimalist production confirms that all this softness is an aesthetic option, not pure lack of desire.

    The album is good for his fans but for the common people is boring, he uses the same trap beat over and over in the album, there are exceptions of course. The songs feel like they never develop and are hard to identify the structures of the songs, makes me feel the songs never have a chorus, making them weak, easy to lost and to get bored.
    I think there is no grow since Purpose, the album

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Album was just average. Nothing great. Best track was Yummy which is sad. I was expecting quite a bit after a long layoff and was really disappointed. Expand

    Es un álbum básico y repetitivo, con un concepto que no termina de concretar este disco. Tiene tracks que se salvan pero en su mayoría es decepcionante si tomamos en cuenta el trabajo discográfico antecesor. La lírica en su mayoría va dedicada hacia una persona lo que hace un álbum un tanto aburrido.

    Some of the songs are bops! but compared to all of his other albums this one is poor. a lot of the songs sound the same, and are very repetitive.

    sorry Justin, i didn´t even want to be here saying bad things about this album, but i know that if you see these comments you´ll want to make you´re music even better. you have a such a good voice, if someone says that you voice isn´t rare, they´re lying, you have potential and we believe in you. i won´t say anything else, but i know you can do so much better than this. as a fan andsorry Justin, i didn´t even want to be here saying bad things about this album, but i know that if you see these comments you´ll want to make you´re music even better. you have a such a good voice, if someone says that you voice isn´t rare, they´re lying, you have potential and we believe in you. i won´t say anything else, but i know you can do so much better than this. as a fan and someone who believes in your talent as a singer i´ll give you 5 and i hope you never come back with something like this again. anyway, congratulations.

    An unnecessarily long album, 16 songs that talk about how he is in love and his married life is quite disappointing, even more after a while without hearing from him except for his scandals. I think the only thing remarkable about this album is that Bieber has come a change for the better and the vocal ability of Bieber.

    in my opinion, this album has some good songs like '"Forever'', "Get me" and "Intentions". But the lead single was a awful choice. Is a shallow song with some cringe moments. But I believe that Justin will release something better next time, because he is capable

    Changes sounds like an "unsolved pop", I don't know if it's a pop / rock, a pop / electronic or if it's just a soft pop.
    Even so, "Changes" is a reasonably good album where you get some cohesive and some less so. The songs also look like sisters since the sounds are the same.

    Worst Bieber album, all songs sound the same and production was like a ringtone, Yummy is the best one even when it received lots of hate online.

    It was average to me. It sounded like I was listening to the same song over, and over again. There were definitely a couple of highlights as they gave a fresh feel to the album, but again, it felt repetitive, and uninspired.

    A promising album, but Bieber don't make a extraordinary job, the album is really confuse and tiring.
    The beginning is so good, but after 4 tracks, this become so wearing to listen.
    The "Yummy" remix is so unnecessary, I think that is just to remember how much worst that song is
    So, 4 is only for the producers hard work.

    This album is mediocre. For a body of work we waited 5 years for, it's nothing special. Lyrically it's one of his worst, and most of the songs sound the same. There are a few good songs. Not amazing, but good. It feels as if he was rushed to put out something, and came up with something quite generic.

    Justin Bieber has unquestionably been one of the biggest pop stars of this generation. Ruling the 2010s, the Canadian singer has come back to the musical scene after a long hiatus which he took advantage of to marry his fellow wife Hailey.

Ruling the 2010s, the Canadian singer has come back to the musical scene after a long hiatus which he took advantage of to marry his fellow wife Hailey. After telling the world Bieber suffers of Lyme disease, had hard-to-deal with drug addictions and promised to change his terrible teenage behaviour, we all expected a touching album filled with emotional songs that perhaps would say sorry to some people for his past mistakes, expose the exploitation he suffered stepping into the music scene being so young etc. The wise always say: don't expect anything good thus you'll be able to omit deceptions. Well, apply this lesson to this album.
    "Changes" is a 50-minute long love letter to his wife. Almost too long for her. There's no other message in the album besides this one. The songs in it sound all the same from track 1 to track 17. Bieber has always relied on amazing an production in order to hide the lack of artistry he has. Don't get me wrong, I do not hate this artist, I just focus on the product he intends to sell us. Thus, Bieber has decided to come back to the game with a non-catchy album that feels like doesn't have bridges nor choruses.
    In conclusion, this album has been a terrible move for his carrier. It feels like Bieber hasn't even tried to make a good hip-hop/pop album like he used to do. So many things to be inspired by and he's only focusing on the most common and writing this cringy too extensive love letter?
    "Changes" is definitely a retrogression in his career coming from such an amazing project that "Purpose" (2015) was.

    A simple album with repetitive melodies, getting to boring, honestly his previous works stand out more, especially "Purpose"

    all the songs have the same background beat, it's as if they were too lazy to innovate. they just played a rap beat and changed the lyrics ... at least his voice is still impeccable

    im not trynna tear him down or do anything against him but honestly this album aint it. every song has similar beat, i personally find it boring the first few listen. not so catchy compare to his previous album. and his team is too rush for this era, i do think this album need more time to be perfectly complete.

    The album doesn't bring much surprise musically, except for JB's vocal improvement. Most of the songs just sound commercialized and even vulgar. Justin could've done better than this.

    As you can see, I gave it a 4
    You may wonder why...
    It's Because that this album is just one dimensional, the lyrics sounds like it's written by a primary school student who fall in love for the first time.
    The instrumentals are just OK, nothing special but carried this album from this messy presentation.
    It's called Changes, but did something actually change in Justin's style or content? No!

    The whole album is soooooo repetitive, every song sounds unfinished, and exactly the same. Every song literally sounds identical, except mixed differently, and if it’s not that every other song sounds like a continuation of the last one. Very rudimentary, and basic, it has a very 2009/10 vibe with the pop / R&B hybrid that we saw in “My world 2.0.” In conclusion, its 2020, not 2010.

    While Bieber's voice still sounds like that of a mid- to late-teen, singing seems to come more naturally to him, and his falsetto pleas are neither bitter nor entitled, strictly genuine and adult.

    It’s a record in total lust and fealty to Hailey; you’ll probably want to duck out to use the bathroom halfway through.

    Artists can certainly grow up and mature without losing their edge or creative spark. Changes, however, is ultimately a transitional record that finds Bieber navigating how to reconcile adulthood with pop stardom—and discovering that, at least in his case, this merger is a tricky one.
