My World

Donald L. Cheney says:

My World is a very good cd. Love Justin Bieber, voice, his vocals are great, the two videos, are very nice, when you play, the cd, on your computer. I can see why, the girls, would love, this 15 year old teenager. He looks great. Five star all the way. I bought nine, cd’s so far. I’ve given some cd’s away, to women friends, and the first thing, they say is how cute, and good looking, Justin is. The cd also has a poster, of Justin. Great value, a must buy. I believe Justin Bieber, will be a star , for a long time.

How fitting that this super awesome release is title “My World” because it’s as if J Biebs took the world I want to live in that I imagine while I’m working at Steak Escape and put it on a CD. Let’s get one thing straight, this kid can flat out sing! He’s got chops and if you want to argue about that, I’ll double down with 7s on it. He knows Usher! Usher was in one of his videos! How awesome is that?

So what’s my favorite song? Good grief, why don’t you ask the tough ones right off the bat why don’t ya? Just kidding. I’m going to have to say favorite girl. I think everyone has a favorite girl and mine is Danica Patrick. She drives cars in a circle for a living and drives them good. She’s also super pretty. I like to drive my car and fish for bass, so I think I’d probably be her kind of guy. I also like one less lonely girl because if Danica Patrick was single and liked me, there would be one less lonely girl in the world. She’s married, so she’s probably not lonely, but maybe she is. Why else would you spend weekends driving cars for a living?

I could go on for at least 26 minutes and several paragraphs about why this CD is awesome, but let me just give you the cliff notes version. I front a band called asschowder. We do a cover of One Time by the Biebinator and it takes the crowd to another level. Our crowd surpasses average by walking through the door. When we play One Time, our crowd is like a champion bass fisher.

It is rare that the ‘mature’ listener is truly wooed to buy an artist under the age of say 21 because the ‘maturity’ factor is often lax. Justin Bieber, obviously doesn’t try to sing songs beyond his age, but the maturity that he executes them is quite prodigious for one who is only 15 years old. From the first time I heard the Christopher “Tricky” Stewart produced “One Time”, I knew that this ‘tween’ had something special. With phenomenal pipes to back his ‘squeaky clean’ persona, Bieber is destined to be a superstar. These seven songs on My World are a fine preview of what is to come on a full length Justin Bieber album and let me tell you folks, it is very promising.

“One Time” was a brilliant choice for a first single that appeals to all ages. The songwriting is catchy, the production sound, and Bieber’s adolescent vocals are spot on. Even more perfect, the producers (one being Usher) don’t try to make Bieber out to be older than he is, which bows in his favor. Follow-up “Favorite Girl” is equally infectious, though it never trumps the valedictory “One Time”. The ballad “Down To Earth” is a big song, but Justin handles it extremely well making it sound as convincing as the two mid-tempo jams that precede it. “Bigger” is schmaltzy pop at its best, but as corny as it may be, it suits Bieber extremely well. Even better is second single “One Less Lonely Girl”, in which Bieber is paired with Stargate (at least that who it sounds like). The Usher pairing “First Dance” is beautiful by all means and the production is among the best of the entire EP. Closer “Love Me” ends the album on a fun note, again affirming that Bieber is indeed still a kid, but a kid who has a phenomenal talent. Think back to Chris Brown’s hit “Run It” when he was only 16.

No quibbles here – I think Bieber is on the right track and his EP My World confirms that notion. 4 stars.
