    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

    People forget Justin switched from Pop to R&B with pop influence.
    The opening 4 tracks are hits, who get followed up by nice tracks like Available, Second Emotion, ETA, Confirmation, That's What Love Is and At Least for Now.
    Forever is probably the biggest hit of the album and should've been the lead single, Changes would've been an amazing follow up single with Intentions as the second

    Forever is probably the biggest hit of the album and should've been the lead single, Changes would've been an amazing follow up single with Intentions as the second music video instead of Yummy, Get Me, Yummy Remix.
    Honestly take away the 2 Yummy's and bring in Drake on ETA and the album would've been an 11/10.

    Yummy will always feel as more of a promo song to get hype, instead it got very critical on a catchy song, but the lyrics are way down to what else is on the album, Summer Walker would've done better on another track with Justin instead of the remix.

    Justin really knows how to crossover to R&B, Trap & Pop.

Extremely talented and with an extraordinary voice, I really loved it and I hope other people like it too. A new phase for Justin, I hope he continues on this good, patient path and that nothing affects his emotional as before, that this phase is the best of his career. God bless Justin, you are amazing and I believe you are an amazing person. Expand

    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.

Apaixonado diria. Justin trabalhou duro, perfeitamente e incrivelmente bem nesse álbum. Você sente a emoção dele nas músicas, você se apaixona por elas também. É tudo interligado. Bieber quis nos mostrar o amor dele lá Hails e conseguiu!!!!!! Foi como entrar no mundo Jailey e depois que se entra, não quer mais sair. A O remix e os feats deram o ar a mais! É um álbum que supera expectativas e deixa qualquer um no chinelo! É por isso que é dono de mais 78 #1 no mundo inteiro! Apenas Bieber consegue tantos feitos após mais de 4 anos sem um álbum.

    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.
