\u201cSwag\u2019s\u201d sequel is upon us.<\/p>\n
Justin Bieber released the pink-jacketed \u201cSwag II\u201d early Friday morning, less than two months after he dropped its black-jacketed predecessor in mid-July. (On X, the singer posted that meme of the goth and Barbie houses sitting side by side in Santa Monica.)<\/p>\n
Like the first \u201cSwag<\/a>,\u201d the 23-track \u201cSwag II\u201d arrived with only about a day\u2019s notice; like the earlier collection, the new one \u2014 Bieber\u2019s eighth studio LP if you don\u2019t count it as merely a deluxe edition of \u201cSwag\u201d \u2014 is sure to rack up millions of streams over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/picture> <\/svg> <\/button> <\/ps-youtubeplayer> <\/div><\/div><\/div>\nHere are five things to know about \u201cSwag II\u201d:<\/p>\n1. New album, (mostly) same swag<\/h3>\nBieber\u2019s in more or less the same sound world he was in last time, laying his cooing vocals over squeaky, scratchy arrangements that pull from indie rock and \u201980s R&B. It\u2019s a dramatic shift from the glistening teen-pop production of his early hits and from the high-gloss EDM beats of his collabs with the likes of Diplo and DJ Snake. But veteran Beliebers know he\u2019s got a soft spot for this type of music: \u201cSwag\u201d and \u201cSwag II\u201d are in a lineage with 2013\u2019s cult-fave \u201cJournals\u201d and 2020\u2019s underrated \u201cChanges.\u201d<\/p>\n2. Same swaggy team of producers<\/h3>\nThough streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music didn\u2019t immediately publish the album\u2019s credits, a press release from Bieber\u2019s label Def Jam said he made \u201cSwag II\u201d with much of the same team behind \u201cSwag,\u201d including Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Dijon, Mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit and Eddie Benjamin. Also in the mix this time: Mike Will (better known as Mike Will Made It).<\/p>\n3. The features? Swag-tastic<\/h3>\nGuest appearances on the album come from Benjamin; Bakar; Lil B, who also made a cameo on \u201cSwag\u201d; the Nigerian singer Tems, with whom Bieber teamed in 2021 for a remix of Wizkid\u2019s \u201cEssence\u201d; and Hurricane Chris, the Southern rapper known for his 2007 teen-rap hit \u201cA Bay Bay.\u201d<\/p>\n4. His skit swag is missing<\/h3>\nNo Druski! The internet comedian appeared in a handful of very cringe skits on \u201cSwag\u201d in which he encourages Bieber to smoke Black & Mild cigars and tells the singer that, although his skin is white, his soul is Black. (\u201cThank you,\u201d Bieber responds.) This time he went without.<\/p>\n5. His family man swag is still strong<\/h3>\nAs on \u201cSwag,\u201d Bieber has marriage, fatherhood and religion on his mind here. In \u201cBetter Man,\u201d he offers up a horny Spider-Man reference to match the one in the earlier album\u2019s \u201c405,\u201d while \u201cMother in You\u201d recounts the wee-hours moment when his young son \u201clooked right through me like you really knew me.\u201d \u201cSwag II\u201d closes with \u201cStory of God,\u201d a nearly 8-minute track in which Bieber narrates the tale of the Garden of Eden against a backing of churchy keyboards and reverbed gospel wailing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.latimes.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSwag\u2019s\u201d sequel is upon us.
