( EW.com ) -- As a star birthed by YouTube and raised by Twitter , Justin Bieber has never had the luxury of growing up outside the public eye . In the two years between his breakout 2010 LP , `` My World 2.0 , '' and `` Believe , '' his second proper full-length , Bieber has had to go through cultural puberty and actual puberty â€ ” a tough gauntlet by any measure . Luckily , his instincts ( or at least the instincts of the small republic of people employed to steer the USS Bieber ) are strong , and Believe works surprisingly well as a reinvention and a reintroduction . It 's the rare album that tries to be everything to everyone and largely succeeds . Like his mentor Usher , Bieber fully embraces both Ibiza beats ( see dubsteppy bangers `` All Around the World '' and `` Take You '' ) and urban swagger ( Drake and Nicki Minaj each drop by ) . Believe also updates his signature sounds . ''Catching Feelings '' would have been a smooth spoonful of radio sugar on his debut , but the new Bieber turns it into a soulful R & B campfire jam . Biology has robbed him of some of his range , but he makes up for it in confidence : First-gen Bieber could n't have handled the goosebumpy swoop of `` Fall , '' but this JB turns it into the album 's profound emotional climax . It 's a prime showcase for his new voice and burgeoning mettle , proving that Bieber is n't just maturing , he 's evolving . B+ . Best Tracks : . Syncopated Boyfriend . Blustery ballad Fall .
