Justin Bieber has spent nearly a decade at the forefront of pop culture. Many assumed he’d never break out of the sea of YouTube cams-stars, but he’s never stopped entertaining his following of fans and the rest of the globe with a mix of his uncannily catchy pop tunes and his never-ending supply of tabloid fodder.
Justin Bieber is at a pretty comfortable spot in his professional trajectory; he’s seen it all, done it all, and surely spoken it all after rocketing to popularity as a minor, dropping as low as peeing in a mop bucket, then rocketing right back up in a redemption arc straight out of a Disney channel film.
What’s left is a startlingly diverse catalog of songs, including some of the finest pop tunes of this age, which is all the more remarkable considering that he’s just a quarter-century old.
1.”Eenie Meenie” ft. Sean Kingston
Biebz teamed up with Sean Kingston, aka Mr. ‘Shawty Fire Burning on the Dance Floor,’ just as the former’s popularity was peaking and the latter’s popularity was waning.
2. “Company”
What is it about “Company” that you don’t like? There’s a lot going on in terms of production in a positive sense, and the lyrics, in our opinion, are just the right amount of corny. Purpose’s immediate classic, but less evident.
3.”2U” (David Guetta ft. Justin Bieber)
JBiebz once again steals the show on an otherwise forgettable David Guetta single, one of the numerous excellent guest features he delivered in 2017. “2U,” which sounds similar to his ground-breaking collaborations with Skrillex and Diplo, is more proof that Bieber’s voice works best with dubstep-oriented, pummeling electronics, even if it doesn’t quite reach the sonic heights of the aforementioned Jack Ü outings.
4. “All That Matters”
The Timbaland and Missy Elliott era Aaliyah groove covered with guitar shine out on its own, but Bieber’s lyrics, particularly “What’s a king, honey, without a queen?” make this a must-hear, easygoing Bieber jam.
