SLMR: Heartbreaker and All That Matters

Today I've decided that, for--what the hell, let's get into this.

Aahh, Justin Bieber. As you all have known, this guy is currently on a maturity roller-coaster going from pretty-boy pop heartthrob
to cocky, daddy-mack pop-R&B panty-melter.
And apparently his music changed too, as seen by his recently-released single from his single-release campaign "Music Mondays". Hmm, seems catchy, doesn't it?

Let's start with what I thought was Bieber's first ever break-up songs after so many make-up ones, "Heartbreaker".

This was literally from Wikipedia when I was making this review:

Heartbreaker was released on October 7th because it was he's official date with Selena Gomez Heartbraker is for any one whos going through a heart break just as he was when he wrote the song

WOW. Thanks for the info, dumbass.

Well, it seems like for the sake of maturing his sound, it looks like he's going to the direction of Justin Timberlake, as it sound like here, especially during the chorus. I really like the beat; sounds very 90s. But the spoken word part sounds like a fail to me as Justin here tries to be like JT or Childish Gambino. Okay, in this song, Bieber is whinn--confessing that he feels that his lover is giving him the 3rd degree because she feels he isn't giving his all in their relationship. He wants her to feel the same way. Oh boo hoo, Justin Drew Bieber!! She is breaking up with you. You shouldn't try chasing after her. You gave it your best, but she wasn't buying that. Now leave her and go someplace else. It's not like she loved you anyway. Okay, I barely got what he's saying because he sounds like he's singing through a fan, so I'm standing by what I wrote.


I actually wanted to hate this song because of the nice and not-at-all foolish decisions good old Biebs has been doing for the past few years
>
but as soon as I heard it, I thought, hmm, this could be interesting. And interesting it was, as we head over to "All That Matters".

Okay, is this Justin Bieber or Jesse McCartney? I'm definitely hearing the latter with a touch of Drake, or vise versa. Okay, I really like the beat. Nice mix of pop, R&B, and a little hint of hip-hop inside. It "Matters", Justin tells a hope-to-be-future lover that she is the only thing that matters to him...and that's it. Nothing else does. Like food, water, heat, music, hearing, a comb, or of course, anyone else. At first that's what I thought it was about...until I watched the lyric video, as I barely gone through the song proper. It's about cheating on his lover with some other girl, I think. Yikes! Probably the other girl was the girl in Heartbreaker. While I like the music, I certainly hate the words. It sounds like Bieber's trying so hard to be Ginuwine, Usher and Chris Brown, but sounds mediocre.

Oh, also there's some really corny lines such as "What's a King bed without a Queen" and "There ain't no I in Team". Ugh. I've never heard Lil Wayne say any lines more cornier than that. Well, if he makes more songs like this, he could become the next Ginuwine or Usher or Keith Sweat or, God forbid, Chris Brown. Sweet God Justin, choose wisely.

Okay I admit, I can't make out what the hell Justin's saying. This is the first time I've ever been stumped making this review; I've never tried so hard to hear and understand what an artist said because everyone else spoke clearly. Even Justin himself sang clearly in his older songs. If he wants be make more sensual songs about taking it to the next level, at least stand in front of the microphone and scream at it, then wait for the results.

And there they are: two songs I didn't have to review but I did, because-well-someone had to. But it's up to you if you want to listen. And it's also up to you like this guy, but if you don't, you've certainly made better life choices than I have.
Next time I will be back to find another song to review (I hope it's good; who am I kidding, it's probably bad).
See you next time.
