Justin Bieber–the 27-year old pop star himself–just released a sixth album, Justice on march 19th, 2021.

Justice reflects on the fact that Bieber is a true adult. Biber’s journey with spirituality over the course of his life is celebrated in “Holy,” which expresses his earthly love and features big-time marriage fan Chance the Rapper. The uplifting “Hold On” is a vow from somebody who “knows how it feels to be someone who loses their way” to other lost souls.

“Unstable” includes an impassioned verse from TikTok star and Juice WRLD protégé the Kid Laroi in morose chords that don’t go anywhere. “As I Am” tricks you into thinking it’s another muted ballad before knocking you over the head with a massive drop. In the middle of “Ghost,” the tune spontaneously breaks into an acoustic singalong, contributing to the joyful emotions that lace the album.

Bieber expresses his grappling with the disparities of who he once was, who he is now, and who he aspires to be. He’s reflecting on an unusual childhood, vowing not to replicate the mistakes he made as he grows older, and now in his late twenties, he fantasizes about how happy his thirties will be if he continues to focus on himself. Justice is darker and more intimate than the previous album’s largely carnal issues, but it is no less widely relatable.
