January 4, 20205 yr Pretty gross. I don't want to know about Justin's sex life with his wife (!) in the first place, never mind using words a five year old might feel embarrassed about going with. Christians be freaky.
January 4, 20205 yr Extremely catchy but I’m kinda underwhelmed. This sounds like an album track at best. I kinda have a feeling that this era will be similar to JT’s Man Of The Woods era: divisive and polarizing lead single but then smashes it out of the park with a second single that does nothing, and then the third single smashes lol ?? That whole album and every single song from it flopped though?? This is also atrocious. Pop Brat Justin Bibber is woeful and always has been. People rushed to like him due to some cheap beats and became sheep. That's it.
January 4, 20205 yr ?? That whole album and every single song from it flopped though?? I agree the era and album itself was a massive tumbleweed, but surely 'Say Something' is considered a sizeable hit?
January 4, 20205 yr I actually think it's kinda catchy lol. He's capable of better and I can see why people expected more, but I went into listening to this thinking it would be career-suicide. It's not much different to the music of any other faceless trap artist and I can see this being a hit, in fact I could have seen this being a hit for anyone that makes this sort of music. My thoughts exactly too. Although the backlash he's getting might be bigger for him than for some faceless artists without past success.
January 4, 20205 yr Im surprised his label has green light such a poor song, they've had ages to shop for songs last time around with Purpose they managed to shop some great songs ie Sorry from Julia Michaels so they should have done the same now
January 4, 20205 yr Pitchfork review: Justin Bieber’s “Yummy” Is Dead on Arrival Was any other pop star’s decade in the spotlight as chaotic as Justin Bieber’s? Mop-bucket piss and police charges aside, he’s certainly the only heartthrob that the Obama administration formally dunked on when a White House petition to revoke his green card garnered over 273,000 signatures in 2014. Through all the turmoil, Bieber’s music became a more gainful way to shed his tween image: Adopting the Y2K handbook of cribbing elements from rap and R&B hits, he cooked up his own wildly successful whitebread version, with his share of peaks and flops throughout. Please toss “Yummy,” Bieber’s first single since 2015’s Purpose, in with the flops. In the trailer for a docuseries about his upcoming fifth album, Bieber and his crew speak in platitudes that suggest he’s in a healthier, more creatively fulfilling place now that he’s “found his wife,” model Hailey Baldwin. If that’s so, “Yummy” makes a compelling case for staying single: Shamelessly engineered for the truncated attention span of TikTok (he joined the service just for the occasion), it’s a bloodless shell of an R&B song crippled by asinine lyrics and a tired, syncopated backdrop. The song plateaus as soon as it starts, never inching past the toddler-like repetition of “yummy-yum” in its chorus. The problem isn’t even that a 25-year-old is employing baby talk as a squicky come-on—that’s been done better. “Yummy” is a dead-on-arrival return that even Bieber sounds bored with.
January 4, 20205 yr To be fair, JB is one of those artists that P4K essentially hates unless he releases something super brilliant and even then they don't even bother to listen to the albums properly.
January 4, 20205 yr I imagine this will do slightly better than 'Strip That Down' did for Liam P (ie. higher peak and bigger impact due to it being Biebs but ultimately it'll end up selling roughly the same). I think the public in general are getting kinda bored of this sound, as we saw with Ariana's songs which faded out slowly after each release, recently.
January 4, 20205 yr I agree the era and album itself was a massive tumbleweed, but surely 'Say Something' is considered a sizeable hit? No, everything from it flopped. It was the biggest flop in memory. And r.e this awful song: if we wanted a food-pun sexy song, we would go and listen to the FAR superior Bone Apple Teeth!!
January 4, 20205 yr Say Something wasn’t Can’t Stop The Feeling big but definitely a big hit nonetheless
January 4, 20205 yr Author Another song 'Forever' has been leaked - and apparently it's just as bad! It's fine as long as people aren't expecting What Do You Mean or Sorry which seems to be the whole issue with this era so far.
January 4, 20205 yr Just listened to 30 seconds - won’t be repeating that again :lol: What a terrible comeback :drama:
