    Bieber's album is generic, which means that on the fourth track you already want to stop listening, nothing new, the only relevant thing on this album is the name of the artist who once did something memorable.

    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.

    Pésima música de alguien que aún no madura ni personal ni musicalmente, no vale la pena escucharlo para nada. Muy bien considerado contaminación auditiva. Si no quieren arruinar sus oídos no lo hagan. Música de un machito que trata a las mujeres como objetos no vale la pena ser escuchada ni apoyada.

    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.

    The issue with Changes is that it doesn’t meet to the expectations that we (as the world) expected as an album from Mr Bieber.

Whether it is that Justin has been out the reality of being a musician, or the basic lyrics claiming his love for Hailey Baldwin. The over-usage of trap-beats and trying to meet the standards of R&B is where Justin fails to produce an album, I would label as ‘worth the wait’. Moving forward, I think Justin should re-consider who he has as a muse for his future work. Previous albums and collections of songs such as Purpose and Journals, showed us the love and the begging for forgiveness that he had for previous relationships with other celebrities such as Selena Gomez, and the effort he put into those songs. Compared to Changes... I don’t see the love that Justin has for Hailey. He just wants to show the world that he is having intercourse with his wife. Expand

We all knew Justin bieber is the industry plant who can only sing, like many other guys you see in IDOL competitions. His previous records were as good as the real artists involved in it aka the songwriters, the producers. This record just exposes Justin Bieber for the talent he is, he is no artist, neither unique. With that youthful teenage charm wiped out of his face, and since he is no artist, he needs to be careful with the producers and songwriters so he can ride on the success of their backs. Just follow Ariana Grande or Jenifer lopez, but not artistically. In fact, there is so much of thank you next and sweeteners resonance in this. Although at 25, justin feels like he has been in this industry since forever. He honestly needs to reinvent himself. Reinvention is not just reserved for female artists, with ever growing demand and need for innovation he can only survive the flooding new talent with renunciation of entitlement and constant hardwork else, Purpose will always be his best . Justin, just keep in mind no age, no disease, playing victim, opening on drug issues, marriage, depression , struggles with fame...all these cannot make a music lover to listen your album. people , I mean real people like who are non bielebers will only listen if its good, if theres substance...times have changed man.

    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.

    There is no heart and it is a very disconnected album. Everything sounds the same. Everything on this album is a repeat of the previous tracks!

    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.
