Song of the week: "Boyfriend", Justin Bieber


The problem with being Justin Bieber is that eventually you have to grow. All these children who went crazy for "Baby" and "U Smile" in 2010 are two years of increasingly demanding and finally, they will be down to the college radio station run wild and Flag Beach House, aggressively deny their preteen madness. How an artist who specializes in the businesses of love harmless puppy stay relevant as its ages fan base with him? Has the time come for Justin Bieber to get sexy?

Bieber, who just turned 18, decided that the answer is yes. "Boyfriend," the first single from her upcoming "believe" does not change the formula too lyrical, but delivery of the star - much of the song is struck in a hoarse whisper - is much more suggestive than it ever summer. Bieber has always made hip-hop, but for "Boyfriend", he jumped into the deep end, adding a woofer-shaking bass to the track and boast of his booty and all the money he was obtained. (He also mentions eating fondue, which is a head-scratcher, but you can not expect him to turn into Soulja Boy at night.) "Tell me what you like, tell me what you n not like it, "he coos to the object of affection, sounding like the raunchy randy emcees in the Ying-Yang Twins on the quasi-pornographic" Wait. "Then, in the same harsh breath, he compares himself to Buzz Lightyear. Yup, this awkward intermediate step might take a little getting used to.

Like other newly minted teen heartthrobs - Joe Jonas Brothers, for example - Bieber decided to model his first shots shy of the adult market on those made by Justin Timberlake, after her breakup with * NSYNC. As the last man to escape the cellblock boy band, Justin Timberlake is held in high esteem by all the young pop stars who seek to bring the next big thing in a career-hysteria mainstream sustainable. It's hard to remember now, but JT was once "Star Search" hopeful and a founding member of the Mickey Mouse Club. He, like Bieber, was properly rejected as prefabricated light, even in * NSYNC, he was often losing out to JC Chasez and Lance Bass. Timberlake has beaten the odds many seconds of jumping ship before the renaissance boy band has grown stale - and by hiring hip-hop producers to tighten and tone to make her look more adult. The Neptunes worked on his first single, Timbaland and his protégé Nate "Danga" Hills were responsible for most of his greatest hits. Timberlake let the producers go wild on "FutureSex / LoveSounds," his second album, not everyone loved the experience of aggressive pop album, but it completed the transition of the star from a novice on the chains puppets ambitious artist with a long future in the showcase.

The "Boyfriend", Justin Bieber uses a rap producer-friendly, too: He hired Mike Posner, the smooth singer's provocative club hit "Cooler Than Me" and "Looks Like Sex." Posner, too, has modeled his career on Timberlake writes songs hip-hop inflected synthpop that emphasize his boastfulness and sexuality. Posner, who co-wrote "Boyfriend", keeps opening to the track as spare as possible: It's just a trap again, some synthesized tom drums, a whistle and rap Justin Bieber. Thirty seconds before the guitar brand Bieber and stroke in falsetto, and even these are boldly chopped by Posner, whose skill at handling digital has been shown on its own records. Posner has not the imagination of Timbaland, and is basically clumsy Bieber miles removed from suave Justin Timberlake. But look at the maps: "Boyfriend" is already No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. For now, his audience remains in suspense, and everything he does will attract widespread attention. This means that his stumbles toward adulthood will happen with the eyes of the world, which will be painful at times. But he still had a very good chance of making the sudden transition from kid star real star with her art - and sanity - intact.
