Justice for the Justice Album

If you were to choose one artist whose music revolutionized the pop genre through the 2010s, who would it be? There is only one right answer: Justin Bieber. Beginning with the Never Say Never era, Justin Bieber has managed to produce hit after hit, his music played in radio stations everywhere. He has sold out thousands of stadiums all over the world, cementing himself as one of the most talented musicians of our generation. This was further proven with the release of his most recent album: Justice.

Consisting of 16 songs, Justice has established itself as an unstoppable force within the music industry. Inspired by his wife, Hailey, the album personifies the unbreakable bond that the newlyweds share, along with his spiritual journey in discovering his newfound religious faith. The carefully crafted track list includes both up-tempo, electronic anthems and more stripped down, acoustic recordings. Although they are all classified as “pop,” each track consists of instrumentals characteristic of R&B/soul music. Together, they form a cohesive album that all listeners can enjoy.

As of recent, Justice was nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2022 Grammy Awards. This is credited to the various singles on the album, all of which play a fundamental role in the global success of the record. To name just a few, the lyrics of “Holy,” “Unstable,” and “Lonely,” live rent free in the minds of the public. Additionally, “Peaches,” was nominated for both Song and Record of the Year, validating its title as a #1 hit. On top of this already monumental feat, the album consists of numerous collaborations that elevate the music to a whole new level. Some of these artists include Daniel Caesar, Giveon, The Kid LAROI, Chance the Rapper, and Benny Blanco. It is gifted performers like these who help to bring Bieber’s vision to life.

Ultimately, it is albums like Justice that keep the so-called Beliebers coming back for more. Every song is a smash hit, heard on radios all over the world. This is credited to the countless hours spent in the studio, working tirelessly to perfect his craft. Just as the song, “Holy,” says, “Runnin’ to the altar like a track star,” fans will be running to the altar of his next Justice performance.
