“Journals” (also known as “Complete my journals”) is the second compilation album by canadian recording artist Justin Bieber, released on December 23, 2013 by Island Records. A ten-week digital download campaign entitled “Music Mondays”, in which one new song was released every monday night, was held from October 7, 2013 to December 9, 2013. “Journals” includes five previously unreleased songs in addition to the ten “Music Mondays” releases. Despite promotions of the album that helped Bieber reach number one on the Social 50 chart and the release planned to capitalize the sales rush before Christmas, the album did not fare well commercially, and was met with mixed reviews from critics.
TTM opinion
Yes…Bieber is here!
So much different to “Believe”. Last album was great; this falls a little scanty. All the promo with “Music Mondays” campaign is absolutely great, a brilliant idea. Inside, content is flat. Same stuff all over the LP.
There’s no electro beats and dance-pop tunes on “Journals”. JB takes his guitar and a piano for production, but the problem is that many songs are quite rhytmically equal.
TTM recommends…
- “Heartbreaker” (track 1)
- “Hold tight” (track 3)
- “PYD” (track 7 -with R. Kelly-)
- “Roller coaster” (track 8)
- “Swap it out” (track 14)
