Justin Bieber's "Justice"

-

 

H E L L O ! Welcome back to another week of this juicy blogging. Today I’m going over an album that came out this week, Justin Bieber’s “Justice”. At first, I didn’t see this album as a big deal but if there’s one thing I know about today’s pop culture, it’s that Justin Bieber has constantly been on the icon list ever since his “Baby, Baby” song came out back when I was in the 5th grade (I graduated college this year so it’s been a while). That being said, I wanted to check out this album because I wanted to tune in on how Justin’s music has changed with the situation revolving COVID and lockdown. What I got in this project as actually a good time with a good amount of songs being groovy and when it felt repetitive, I was given a good amount of guest features that brought back the energy.

                This album mostly revolves around love and Justin’s relationship with his wife, Hailey Bieber. Right from the get-go with the first song “2 Much”, Justin opens his heart and expresses all the things he sees in his wife that he cherishes and adores. This vibe continues for the next two songs, having the third song “As I Am” use Khalid to bring some flavor to this theme of love. From these three songs, we get the formula for the rest of the project. The songs from here on out suffer from a case of repetition as the lyrics of Justin’s love and faith in his relationships seem to wear out quickly. While it is nice to hear Justin’s voice on some chill, 80s inspired sounds, this album suffers monotony as a whole.  This is where the artist features come in. There are a good number of features on this album, most notably being Khalid, The Kid LAROI, Chance the Rapper, Dominic Fike, and Daniel Caesar. This is what gives the listeners breaths of fresh air as we delve into the same concepts from Justin but given different sounds through the amazing artists that are on this project. And to Justin’s credit, he definitely has a good sense of knowing what songs with which artist because each song with a feature does an amazing job at capturing the unique sound each feature makes.

                Besides that, there’s not much to say. I do sense a much more mature Justin that has moved on from the troubles of his past and is looking forward to a much peaceful and productive future. His music reflects a lot of his values he’s treasured through these last couple of years and it’s cool o`f him to create something that reflects that. Overall, the album isn’t anything too special, but if you’re looking to listen to some new songs to just vibe to, I’d recommend this album. That’s all for now folks, take care.

Interview with Harry Katz and the Pistachios

-
          What’s up raDEO fans, today I get to share with you all another interview with our third artist for the blog. Before we get started, I want to give thanks again to Harry Katz for sitting down and talking with me as well as Vince from 4AM Indie Publicity for making this all happen. With that all being said, let’s just get into it! Finding Your Voice Getting ready to interview Harry Katz, there were a lot of different factors to take into consideration before hopping on the phone with him. This was my first interview with an artist that was part of the band, and this wasn’t just any band. Harry Katz and the Pistachios is a 10-man band that is composed of brass instrumentalists, piano players, and a whole bunch of amazing singers. Not only that, I had the opportunity to interview Harry after the band dropped their debut project, “Scared of Romance”. This gave me a lot more material to look over and use to create questions that would allow me to get...

Kendrick Lamar's Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers Pt.1 and My Thoughts on Zoe Gabrielle's Copy Video

-
                 Hey guys what’s up and welcome back to my blog for my thoughts on the new Kendrick Lamar album “Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers”. It’s been about two months since my last post where I interviewed amazing artist Zoe Gabrielle so let’s hope I’m not too rusty. I remember when Kendrick’s last album “DAMN.” came out, I was in my senior year of high school. I actually had the amazing opportunity that year to not only listen to the album but to visit Compton to see TDE’s Christmas Drive Fundraiser concert as well as had the chance to shake Kendrick’s hand and have him sign my “DAMN.” CD. That was a really special time for me and seeing how it’s been around six years since then, I’m excited to see how Kendrick has changed just as I have over the years. That being said, let’s just get into this. (For my thoughts on Zoe Gabrielle’s music video, just scroll down!)             ...

Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights"

-
                  What’s up guys. Welcome to a new week where I talk about a project I haven’t listened to before. This week I’m going to be talking about an album that’s been out for a while, but I haven’t had a chance to delve into this particular artist. The artist is Interpol and the album will be their debut album “Turn on the Bright Lights” that came out in 2002. The reason I wanted to listen to them was due to my newfound love for the Strokes. I started getting really into alternative rock, and I remember that one song that I associated to my college years was “Rest My Chemistry”. I remember first listening to it from the speaker of my roommates, and when I asked who this was, he told me “Interpol, they’re fire.” So here I am, and I gotta say that this band is indeed fire.                 The album starts off with a great int...
