November 13, 2015 had quite a few album releases. There was Justin Bieber, One Direction, Hailee Steinfeld, Jeezy, Alessia Cara, Ty Dolla $ign, and Logic, to name a few. If you haven’t taken the chance to check them out, whether you weren’t sure they were worth your time or any other reason, I’ve got you covered.
Justin Bieber’s album, named Purpose, is the number one downloaded album on iTunes. This was Bieber’s fourth album. The album had 14 songs on it, and the deluxe edition had five extra songs, the Wal-mart edition had two extra songs, and if you pre-ordered the album on iTunes then there was a bonus track, which was a remix of “What Do You Mean” with Ariana Grande. The album was somewhat a comeback album. After taking some time off and headlining most tabloids with nothing but negative things about him for the past three or four years, Bieber came back to writing and recording new music. Some of the songs on the album were about his past relationship with Selena Gomez, others were about finding his “purpose” in life. In his Instagram posts, he claims that his fans gave him “purpose” in life. He believes everyone should find their purpose and it’s important, so he basically made a whole album for it.
Critics thought that the album was mediocre, but fans claim the album went above and beyond. Bieber co-wrote all of his songs and Skrillex produced quite a bit of songs on his album. Skrillex and Bieber collaborated on a track, “Where are U Now,” and liked how they meshed together. The songs that weren’t produced by Skrillex sounded a lot like the old Justin Bieber music, which is by no means an insult. My favorites on the album were “Purpose” and “Life is Worth Living.” They’re motivational songs and produced very well. The songs I absolutely loved were “No Sense” ft Travis Scott, “No Pressure” ft Big Sean (IT MENTIONS EMPIRE), “Love Yourself”, “Sorry”, “We Are” ft Nas, “Company”, and “Been You.” Those songs are FIRE. The rest of the songs on the album are all right. I didn’t exactly prefer them, but they’re not completely bad. He released dance videos to all of his songs from the album the next day on his YouTube channel.

I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn’t where I saw myself going.
