Justin released his new single this morning, thoughts?

I personally really like it, sounds like something chris brown might come up with which is the direction I thought he'd go in. Where do you think this might chart what released?

I agree with you with regards to Bieber's previous image and sound maybe putting people off. This track is very different to his previous material and is obviously being marketed as his show of growth and possibly try to get him a bit of "street-cred". I think it could work, it's very interesting and I can't think of anything in the charts that sound similar to it right now.

I don't like it! I don't like Bieber that much(although he's better than One Direction ), but I preferred his voice before it broke

I can see why people prefer this to his older stuff though

I think he's going to go down the Chris Brown route. He needs to start appealing to a wider audience rather than just the 'Beliebers'

I like it first song of his I ever have done. I think his voice is maturing quite well. I loved the ''How To Love'' cover as well. I think he has good taste in music tbh. If he keeps this up I might just buy the album......

Okaaay is this Justin Bieber or Justin Timberlake? I really like it but it does sound like something Timberlake would sing.

It's a nice laid back track, but I don't think it suits him tbh. The beat is amazing, but his vocals are like Usher with no warm up...I can't say anything about the lyrics, though, because I wasn't paying much attention to them, just to protect myself

Agreed, similar to Timberlake in his Justified era.

I think he's improving, but not there yet.

I dont like it but its better than the other songs ive heard from him. The beat and production are okay but the lyrics and verses are really poor and the song just doesnt seem to really go anywhere. He's improving tho

I think it's okay but the beat could be heavier. It's mellow but could be better. His voice is very throaty and hoarse now.

I can appreciate he's very good looking but I couldn't bring myself to fancy him, it just feels very wrong

Was shocked when I first heard it, he sounds a lot older and it sounds a bit like Justin Timberlake, however I don't really like this song it's rather boring I think

Sounds like a Justin Timberlake B-side... don't see the attraction

I don't see the Justin Timberlake comparison. I think Conor Maynard is more Justin Timberlake, he even sounds like him.
This song is just plain...bad. I was willing to give him a chance because he does try but this isn't decent at all.

The verses sound really Simon Curtis come to think of it:

I thought this after listening to the song actually, the verses also sort of remind me of Chris Brown's "Look At Me Now" a bit.
