Awwww yeah, J-Biebs. Get it, boy. GET ITTT.

1994 was a good time to be alive. Grunge saturated the New York scene. NAFTA was established. And Justin Bieber was born. The musical messiah and Usher protégé known as Justin Drew Bieber was given to the world in March 1, 1994. I am not drunk.

Lil’ JB became an internet sensation via YouTube in 2007. Scooter Braun, a former marketing executive for So So Def, was essentially like, “dayum boi,” and then Bieber’s career took off like whoa. And then he began shopping at American Apparel. JB has an affinity for wearing Am Appy cardigans in size XXS. This is his signature style, and what makes all the young fly honeys love him so. Also his hair. His hair is voluminously luscious and probably wonderful to run through with reverent fingers, but we must remember he is only 15.

Anyway. His album. My World 2.0 is really good. Better than My World, even. Holistically, the album feels more life-affirming, with power-pop dance jams but also really sad stuff, too. Bieber’s voice is beautiful like the sound of angels softly crying in falsetto after a thunderstorm. Although one might think Canada and R&B music are mutually exclusive, Bieber’s genius allows him to combine his Canadian heritage with soulful R&B sounds. By the way, there is a website called Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber, which is a tribute to Bieber’s ability to reach out across all demographics. Canadians, R&B people, lesbians. Also many more.

The star-studded album features R&B heavyweights like Sean Kingston and Ludacris. This helps Bieber establish street cred, which is often difficult for small children. His features are cherubic, and he has pillowy lips. But listeners must not get too carried away, because … well, I’m getting carried away.

Distorted vocals, accompanied by urgent reverb-drenched guitars and a heavy dash of synth and dubstep rhythm, are not found on this album. This album is much better than that. The best song on My World 2.0, though all of them are perfect, is lead single “Baby,” which features Ludacris. The music video is sick, or ill, which means it’s very, very good. It features JB wooing a preteen in the bowling alley, which is a popular location to find young love. Teen dream.

J-Nasty is a young rising star for sure. His youthful vibrancy is very appealing. He is a beacon of hope for music. Long live Justin Bieber.
