That's one of the songs from Swag, 7 00:00:45,693 --> 00:00:50,213 Speaker 4: the freshly released album from Justin Bieber, his seventh album 8 00:00:50,373 --> 00:00:53,053 Speaker 4: released overnight. That had been rumored it was coming for 9 00:00:53,133 --> 00:00:56,573 Speaker 4: some time, but Justin just dropped it, which meant Estelle Clifford, 10 00:00:57,173 --> 00:00:59,653 Speaker 4: our music reviewer, had to drop everything she was doing 11 00:00:59,973 --> 00:01:02,653 Speaker 4: so she could go and listen to the Beabes. Hey, 12 00:01:02,893 --> 00:01:03,533 Speaker 4: good to see. 13 00:01:03,413 --> 00:01:07,413 Speaker 5: You, Hello, Hi Big Big Friday night at Mine at night, 14 00:01:07,773 --> 00:01:11,813 Speaker 5: Hello Swag? What are you all about? And So this 15 00:01:11,853 --> 00:01:14,613 Speaker 5: song here has caused a little bit of mystery around 16 00:01:15,293 --> 00:01:15,973 Speaker 5: who sings it? 17 00:01:16,213 --> 00:01:18,013 Speaker 4: Yeah? Is that him? 18 00:01:18,253 --> 00:01:20,933 Speaker 5: So well, lots of rumor around it being Scissor or 19 00:01:20,973 --> 00:01:23,933 Speaker 5: someone like that. There's nothing in the credits that suggests so. 20 00:01:23,933 --> 00:01:27,213 Speaker 5: So yes, this is the consensus. This is the Bebes, 21 00:01:27,853 --> 00:01:31,893 Speaker 5: this is him, Yeah, yeah yeah. And then he does 22 00:01:31,893 --> 00:01:34,453 Speaker 5: the backing vocals in his normal voice that you recognize 23 00:01:35,173 --> 00:01:36,853 Speaker 5: and I must have. When I've listened to the song 24 00:01:36,893 --> 00:01:38,933 Speaker 5: a couple of times, I'm like, it's definitely the way 25 00:01:38,973 --> 00:01:41,653 Speaker 5: he sings, and I think that's kind of clever, Like 26 00:01:41,733 --> 00:01:45,293 Speaker 5: I like that he's sort of disguised himself but doing 27 00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:50,493 Speaker 5: something a little bit different. Yeah, And that's kind of 28 00:01:50,493 --> 00:01:52,813 Speaker 5: how the whole album sort of is. There's these moments 29 00:01:52,813 --> 00:01:55,453 Speaker 5: that are quite it's quite intimate in regards to how 30 00:01:55,493 --> 00:01:59,493 Speaker 5: it's been recorded, and it's not necessarily big and showy, 31 00:02:00,093 --> 00:02:02,293 Speaker 5: like a lot of the vocals have that more closer 32 00:02:03,053 --> 00:02:04,693 Speaker 5: you sort of lean into it a little bit more. 33 00:02:04,733 --> 00:02:06,653 Speaker 5: Like I feel like the whole album is like that. 34 00:02:07,053 --> 00:02:09,493 Speaker 5: I mean, there's lots of rumors around him having jam 35 00:02:09,573 --> 00:02:12,373 Speaker 5: sessions and all that kind of stuff leading into writing 36 00:02:12,373 --> 00:02:14,333 Speaker 5: new music, and he's pretty much just put it on 37 00:02:14,373 --> 00:02:18,493 Speaker 5: the album, I think as it has been, Like there's 38 00:02:18,533 --> 00:02:21,453 Speaker 5: beautiful production and beautiful musicality, but again, I think it's 39 00:02:21,493 --> 00:02:24,173 Speaker 5: just kind of almost on the fly, on the spot 40 00:02:24,653 --> 00:02:26,693 Speaker 5: and then added some things to it. There's actually also 41 00:02:26,693 --> 00:02:28,693 Speaker 5: a couple of songs on here, like twenty one songs 42 00:02:28,693 --> 00:02:33,733 Speaker 5: on the album, but a couple of those like voice memos, right, interesting, 43 00:02:33,733 --> 00:02:35,773 Speaker 5: so one is a yeah, one is a voice memo 44 00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:38,293 Speaker 5: jam session. So I would kind of love to see 45 00:02:38,333 --> 00:02:40,773 Speaker 5: the behind the scenes footage of how they put that together. 46 00:02:41,293 --> 00:02:43,693 Speaker 5: And another one is legit just him and his guitar, 47 00:02:44,813 --> 00:02:47,533 Speaker 5: Zoomer House, it's called and it's like a minute twenty 48 00:02:47,733 --> 00:02:50,493 Speaker 5: of just like you almost feel like you're snooping a 49 00:02:50,493 --> 00:02:53,493 Speaker 5: little bit, like you're seeing him maybe talking or singing 50 00:02:53,493 --> 00:02:55,533 Speaker 5: to his kid. You know, like he's kind of got 51 00:02:55,573 --> 00:02:57,133 Speaker 5: that sort of vibe about it, like a dude and 52 00:02:57,213 --> 00:03:01,093 Speaker 5: his guitar just sounding out something that he kind of likes. 53 00:03:01,733 --> 00:03:04,573 Speaker 5: And again so you're like, oh, okay, now where in 54 00:03:04,653 --> 00:03:06,733 Speaker 5: this really intimate should we be listening to this or not? 55 00:03:06,773 --> 00:03:08,213 Speaker 5: And is it a full song or not? Like it 56 00:03:08,253 --> 00:03:11,493 Speaker 5: just kind of ends there you go, that's it was 57 00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:13,173 Speaker 5: holding the guitar for a minute twenty and now I'm 58 00:03:13,173 --> 00:03:15,013 Speaker 5: done with it, you know, like in just moving through, 59 00:03:15,613 --> 00:03:18,293 Speaker 5: I think that he's definitely decided to take control of 60 00:03:18,333 --> 00:03:23,453 Speaker 5: his narrative, which because there's always stories and gossip around 61 00:03:23,493 --> 00:03:25,613 Speaker 5: these kind of especially when they're sort of kept to 62 00:03:25,613 --> 00:03:27,853 Speaker 5: themselves for a few years, and then people being like, 63 00:03:27,933 --> 00:03:31,093 Speaker 5: are we worried about him? He's acting all strange? I reckon, 64 00:03:31,133 --> 00:03:33,213 Speaker 5: he's just a dude who's well tired because he's got 65 00:03:33,213 --> 00:03:35,853 Speaker 5: a baby, and he's also trying to write some new 66 00:03:35,933 --> 00:03:38,453 Speaker 5: music and then the peppo are always in his face, 67 00:03:39,693 --> 00:03:40,933 Speaker 5: but now always. 68 00:03:41,413 --> 00:03:43,773 Speaker 4: I mean I don't I don't envy his life at all. 69 00:03:43,813 --> 00:03:45,613 Speaker 4: I mean, you know he's yeah, I mean some people 70 00:03:45,653 --> 00:03:48,573 Speaker 4: say he's got a pretty good life. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 71 00:03:48,613 --> 00:03:51,813 Speaker 4: But I mean there was there's been a lot of 72 00:03:51,893 --> 00:03:54,613 Speaker 4: speculation right about, like if he's in a good place 73 00:03:54,613 --> 00:03:55,093 Speaker 4: and that kind of. 74 00:03:55,133 --> 00:03:57,253 Speaker 5: Thing, and not when the pepperazzs are in his face. 75 00:03:57,333 --> 00:03:59,973 Speaker 5: There's actually a song on the album called Butterflies. We've 76 00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,213 Speaker 5: got a little sample here because it does sample one 77 00:04:02,213 --> 00:04:04,333 Speaker 5: of his confrontations he had only about a month or 78 00:04:04,373 --> 00:04:07,453 Speaker 5: so ago. If you want to listen to butterflies. 79 00:04:07,733 --> 00:04:30,293 Speaker 3: Money money, money, money, money, money, money, money. 80 00:04:20,933 --> 00:04:23,453 Speaker 5: I mean I kind of find it funny that's something 81 00:04:23,493 --> 00:04:25,453 Speaker 5: that really only happened about a month ago. He's already 82 00:04:25,533 --> 00:04:30,013 Speaker 5: sampled and put into the start of Interesting. If it's 83 00:04:30,013 --> 00:04:32,573 Speaker 5: going to be a global speculation, then why not just 84 00:04:33,773 --> 00:04:35,573 Speaker 5: why not just add it to your own album and 85 00:04:36,213 --> 00:04:38,093 Speaker 5: that means it lives forever, which I think is kind 86 00:04:38,133 --> 00:04:40,693 Speaker 5: of interesting that he's decided to then put it into 87 00:04:40,733 --> 00:04:43,773 Speaker 5: a song. But it's a murky track too, Like it's 88 00:04:43,813 --> 00:04:46,973 Speaker 5: got this really heavy bass drum line, which I guess 89 00:04:47,013 --> 00:04:49,773 Speaker 5: the experience of having someone constantly outside your window or 90 00:04:49,813 --> 00:04:51,573 Speaker 5: every time you try and hop in a car or something, 91 00:04:51,853 --> 00:04:53,653 Speaker 5: and your face is a murky kind of dark s 92 00:04:53,773 --> 00:04:57,653 Speaker 5: a place to be. But then singing about butterflies, which 93 00:04:57,733 --> 00:05:01,933 Speaker 5: is like a beautiful, letting go flyaway kind of thing. 94 00:05:03,053 --> 00:05:04,413 Speaker 5: Interesting kind of contrast. 95 00:05:05,573 --> 00:05:07,533 Speaker 4: You're right, yeah, yeah, and then. 96 00:05:07,493 --> 00:05:11,093 Speaker 5: And yeah, this is this album. I mean, I like 97 00:05:11,133 --> 00:05:13,293 Speaker 5: that he's kind of done the Beyonce thing and just gone, oh, well, 98 00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:15,453 Speaker 5: here's the album. Then yeah, but again, I think that's 99 00:05:15,493 --> 00:05:18,213 Speaker 5: part of him having control of his own narrative, and 100 00:05:18,453 --> 00:05:20,093 Speaker 5: there is some real I feel like it's a very 101 00:05:20,253 --> 00:05:24,613 Speaker 5: nineties sounding album, some synth and pop and R and 102 00:05:24,653 --> 00:05:27,093 Speaker 5: B that I'm really digging. I think the collabs he's 103 00:05:27,093 --> 00:05:31,333 Speaker 5: done are really great, great vocalists. It's like I've said, 104 00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:33,773 Speaker 5: some of the some of the tracks are actually just 105 00:05:33,893 --> 00:05:37,493 Speaker 5: him having chats about his life with Drewski, who's like 106 00:05:37,533 --> 00:05:42,093 Speaker 5: a comedian actor, social media dude. Yes, sort of talking 107 00:05:42,133 --> 00:05:44,253 Speaker 5: through where his headspace is at, and then just actually 108 00:05:44,333 --> 00:05:46,773 Speaker 5: leaving there on the album, I think like some interesting 109 00:05:46,893 --> 00:05:49,293 Speaker 5: choices to say this is where I'm at, this is 110 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:53,013 Speaker 5: where I'm moving forward. Definitely loves his wife, definitely loves 111 00:05:53,013 --> 00:05:55,253 Speaker 5: his kid, and I guess just saying I'm human and 112 00:05:55,253 --> 00:05:56,613 Speaker 5: I'm trying to do the best I can and move 113 00:05:56,653 --> 00:05:59,333 Speaker 5: forward with that. Yeah, nothing too deep in some of 114 00:05:59,333 --> 00:06:02,093 Speaker 5: the lyrics, though, very repetitive like they he just says 115 00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:04,933 Speaker 5: things over and over again and isn't going too deep 116 00:06:04,933 --> 00:06:08,053 Speaker 5: about it or anything, but I think still him having control. 117 00:06:08,653 --> 00:06:11,733 Speaker 5: Daisy's is one of my favorite tracks, which we're going 118 00:06:11,813 --> 00:06:14,573 Speaker 5: to play a little bit later. I reckon this could 119 00:06:14,613 --> 00:06:17,533 Speaker 5: be the big radio play. It's quite poppy. It's got 120 00:06:17,533 --> 00:06:21,053 Speaker 5: that real cool lo fi guitar riff intro that then 121 00:06:21,093 --> 00:06:23,413 Speaker 5: carries on through the rest of the tune. His vocals 122 00:06:23,453 --> 00:06:25,333 Speaker 5: are quite four front, which I think has always worked 123 00:06:25,333 --> 00:06:28,373 Speaker 5: for him in those big pop songs that have then 124 00:06:28,413 --> 00:06:29,813 Speaker 5: become kind of radio hits. 125 00:06:29,853 --> 00:06:30,053 Speaker 2: Yeah. 126 00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:33,573 Speaker 5: Yeah, and sort of a little bit of a hazy, 127 00:06:34,533 --> 00:06:36,653 Speaker 5: kind of oh my summary sort of sound to it 128 00:06:36,693 --> 00:06:38,293 Speaker 5: as well, which I think will actually do quite well. 129 00:06:38,293 --> 00:06:39,933 Speaker 5: But it's actually one that's just really stood out to me. 130 00:06:40,053 --> 00:06:41,853 Speaker 5: So yeah, when I have a lot of listen to 131 00:06:41,853 --> 00:06:42,253 Speaker 5: that as well. 132 00:06:43,213 --> 00:06:43,413 Speaker 2: Nice. 133 00:06:43,453 --> 00:06:44,373 Speaker 4: Okay, what'd you give it? 134 00:06:44,253 --> 00:06:46,853 Speaker 5: It's an eight out of ten for me, very good. 135 00:06:46,933 --> 00:06:49,173 Speaker 5: I'm not sure if I'm into the random chat stuff, 136 00:06:49,173 --> 00:06:50,893 Speaker 5: but you know, it's there and it's got a post. 137 00:06:50,933 --> 00:06:51,453 Speaker 2: I don't like that. 138 00:06:51,853 --> 00:06:54,333 Speaker 4: Yeah, it does have a purpose.
