background

On October 18, 2010, Bieber announced plans for an acoustic album on his Twitter page, which would contain unplugged versions of his songs and a new song, and which would be released around Christmas time. A few days later, on October 24, 2010, he announced November 26th as the release date. The reason for the publication called Bieber that he "wanted to prove to all the haters that he could sing". After all, with an acoustic album one can hear one's voice particularly well. In addition, he wanted to prove with this publication that he “has the skills to have a long and fulfilling career”.

In order to promote this album and his upcoming movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never , Bieber shot a music video for the acoustic version of the song " Never Say Never ".

Track list

Eight of the ten songs are available in an acoustic version on the CD. The song " Favorite Girl " is a live version, the title " Pray " is a new song by the singer, which is in a conventional studio version on the album.

success

reception

The album received mostly positive reviews. For example, Lucy Jones of The Daily Telegraph said the songs were "undeniably brilliant pop songs." She also said that "the album has the ability to reach people outside of its original audience." Mikael Wood also rated the album well and was of the opinion that Bieber would not have changed his well-known style (“children's soul voice”), but the acoustic reproduction and the new song would deliver a sugar-sweet load. Ultimately, he called it "superficial". Thomas Conneron described "soothing some of the pop songs with slower melodies and patient singing" as "not bad." In addition, this contributed to the fact that the listeners could notice how Bieber's voice had matured. The Washington Post reviewer called the album "the cheesiest acoustic album in history."
