background

My World 2.0 is Bieber's debut album and was dubbed the “second part of his debut” by himself. The reason he cited was that “people don't want to wait over a year and a half for new music. Therefore it would have been decided to split it into two parts ”. His first release and thus the first part was the EP My World , which was released in November 2009.

success

reception

My Worlds received mixed reviews:

“Unlike usual in the industry, Justin Bieber co-wrote many of the songs himself, which puts the whole album in a different light. In addition to the well-known single releases, there is another song that pop music fans may well know. Track 7 Love Me contains elements from Lovefool . The 1996 hit by The Cardigans provides the refrain for Justin Bieber's song. On My Worlds , happy and danceable songs alternate with calm ballads. Nevertheless, the album remains fairly manageable and mainly revolves around the worries and incidents of a teen "

The online magazine Laut.de named the album the worst album of 2010. The album received only one of five possible points in its review. In the review of the album, laut.de u. a .:

“And what about Justin's musical world? As you would expect for a tender age, it is quite manageable. In addition to the first dance in the school ( First Dance ), the smile of his adored ( U Smile ) and his very dearest girl ( Favorite Girl ), everything now revolves around the worries and incidents of a teen in the school yard and around. "
