    Com 'Purpose', Bieber direcionou o seu foco ao EDM, estilo que não utiliza desde o ''Believe''. Porém, de maneira mais aproveitada. Diferente do anterior, Purpose é um álbum coeso e contagiante. O samba no One Erection só começou né amores, já que essa bandinha de garagem re-utiliza a fórmula de criar albuns desde 2013. Eu não apoio as fifth harmony de forma alguma...

    The best work from him. Fav songs: Sorry, Company, The Feeling and Children. Hit the Ground is f*ck good. The best of deluxe version. Poor songs: Been You, Purpose and Life Is Worth Living.

    I'm a 21 year old guy who has never actually clicked with JB's tunes in the past AT ALL, and to be honest, this album is really, really great. The production includes electro, trap and synth beats, and this album contains some great features like Nas, Travis Scott, Big Sean and Skrillex.

    This is the best album from Bieber. More personal, great lyrics, great sounds, good vocals. He changed and for better. My favorites songs on Purpose are "I'll Show You", "No Pressure feat. Big Sean", "No Sense feat. Travis Scott", "The Feeling feat. Halsey", "Company" and "Love Yourself".

    Justin has proved himself worthy of a true artist (for me, that was 2013's Journals album, but I think a lot more people will be impressed by Purpose and he will earn the respect he deserves.) It's time for Justin Bieber to stop being a punchline to a joke in peoples eyes and to take him seriously as a musician. He has shown his perseverance in song writing and also turning his life around for the better. There are the typical JB love songs but a lot more inspiring songs this time around. I'm proud of Justin and how hes changed for the better. I think a lot of the negative comments about the album are instant reactions...give it time! people will see how wonderful this album. Bieber is the new-school MJ. That might sound crazy but think about it.

Sonoridade madura marca a nova fase de Bieber, letras sentimentais, muitas claramente escritas para Selena e outras como uma forma de "redenção", Justin mostra arrependimento pelo passado de polêmicas e pelo monstro criado pela mídia. As parcerias com Skrillex e Diplo elevaram a qualidade do seu novo material.

And you guys haven't even realized it, or did you? I guess you haven't been able to escape from him in 2015/2016, and I gotta tell you these songs will be still playing in the upcoming years. This album contains "Where Are Ü Now" (which itself already won a Grammy), "What Do You Mean" (straight #1 debut, a trendsetter), "Sorry" (excessively streamed song and of course #1, probably gonna end up as #2 song of the year 2016) and "Love Yourself" (complete masterpiece, the #1 song of the year and totally deserved). "Love Yourself" needs to win Grammy for Song of the year, Record of the year and Best Pop Solo performance, or that ceremony would be just a farce. Are you really going to tell me there was a better song this year? "Purpose" is mandatory to be nominated for Album of the year.
    Even with all the bad attention on him and the negative press, he still managed to take it all in and prove everybody wrong. But not only that, his music was so powerful that there is no other artist on the world bigger than him right now. And I gotta tell you, I think is harder to do it that way that he did not blew the chance he was given. Or I would honestly say, there is no other artist this year whose songs I have enjoyed more, sincerely he is the number 1. Yes, he has the #1 and #2 biggest songs of the year, when has this happened before? I don't know, I guess you were witnessing an unprecedented feat here and you'll only find out at the end of the year. "Mark my words"
    And all those ideas and concepts for the mentioned songs inspire and make this album, all the life tribulations and staged comeback contribute to make musical history here! All that blown out of proportion fame of his finally make real impact, This is what is all about. Come on, are you missing this? I'm already telling you, in a few months y'all read back on this and agree with me.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O que eu mais amo no Purpose é que o Justin não abandonou o R&B, como eu achei que ele faria depois do Journals. Todos sabem, ou deveriam saber, que a gravadora não apoia o Justin no R&B porque vende menos que o Pop. Enfim, minhas músicas favoritas são: All In It, We Are, No Pressure, No Sense e Trust. TODAS R&Bs. A ''zona de conforto'' do Justin é o R&B, onde você que a voz dele está completamente mais relaxada e livre para usar notas mais altas e os falsetos -os maravilhosos falsetos. Me sinto orgulhosa de ser belieber, me sinto orgulhosa desse novo propósito do Justin. Quando estava ouvindo o álbum e Mark My Words começou a tocar, eu tava tipo: ''vamos lá Justin, cadê a batida? Cadê?'' e então a música acabou e eu confesso que fiquei decepcionada, então I'll Show You surgiu e trouxe TODAS as batidas de que eu estava sentindo falta. Ou seja, o álbum se completa e se encaixa perfeitamente, você sente que as músicas são bastantes conectadas e que elas têm um sentimento muito forte entre si. Você percebe a conexão quando o R&B lento e poderoso de No Pressure acaba e começa o MARAVILHOSO e gracioso Hip-Hop com um pouco de trap music -por que não?- No Sense. E o album acaba com com o riff de All In It, é como se ele tivesse dito tudo o que tinha pra dizer, o seu propósito e tals... e quando AIT começa você já sente a 'despedida'. Na verdade, não foi despedida pra mim porque eu repeti umas 500x KKKKKKKKKKK. Aprendi o album inteiro em 1 semana. Então... e agora tá vendendo 5M WW. QUE ORGULHO JUSTIN! Expand

He had 3 #1s on the billboard hot 100 just from this album alone, with what do you mean debuting at #1. Purpose is certified 4x platinum in North America, Austria, Canada and the United Kingdom. It was the fourth best selling album of 2015, selling over 1 million copies.

    The opening track "mark my words" talks about his relationship with a love interest, however it's an off and on relationship. Hes losing trust, trying to fix the relationship, but their both unhappy and stuck. He shows off his healthy falsetto, with his smooth vocals.
    His second track "I'll show you" is all about being imperfect, he's so pressured by being in the spotlight, causing him to make mistakes without thinking. He learns from his mistakes and fixes himself.
    What do you mean is simple, he talks about how his relationship is confusing, his partner doesn't know what they wanna do.
    Sorry is about well, being sorry.
    Love yourself is about cutting off an ex who's manipulative, and uses him.
    Company is about a one night stand.
    No pressure, is about being surprisingly in love, the love is trying to leave but he won't let go.
    No sense is about justin wanting the person he was in relationship with.
    The feeling is about questioning love, are they really in love, or is it just the feeling?
    Life is worth living is about the worst in relationships, fighting, depression, and separation.
    Where are U now is about needing support from that one person, hes not getting that even when he supported that person.
    Children, "Justin Bieber reaches back to the perfect biggest heart that he wishes he still had. That's the ideal. That's what we all wish we could recover... or at least imitate. And that's what we have to defend and protect in the hearts of our children."
    Last but not least, Purpose, the album name. This song is simply about his relationship with "God".

    Justin also released, "been you","get used to it","we are","trust" and "all in it" on the deluxe version. Usually when an artist release extra songs on their deluxe album, their not good. This is not the case with purpose deluxe. Every one of these songs should've been on purpose, there was no need for a deluxe version.

    Purpose is well produced. You cannot deny that. The lyrics are amazing especially in his more ballad like songs. This is one of those albums I don't skip through. There is no song I dislike off of purpose. Life is worth living is my favorite, also no pressure>no sense.

    It’s when Bieber’s honesty feels less-than-honest and the tracks feel less-than-groundbreaking that this album falls short of the heights it should by all means be capable of reaching.

    It's full of motivational Bieb-talk about the realness of the Bieb-struggle.

    You can’t hear The Feeling in his voice, which is still one of the most infectiously beautiful in the industry, because as his faith has saved him from his pain, his production team has saved his voice from Justin. It makes for a series of unbeatable mainstream and crossover singles, and a desensitized, unnerving album.
