Most headlines about Justin Bieber lately have had to do with his ex Kylie Jenner, But this week Justin dropped something that we were all waiting for.
Completing a comeback arc that has included Jack Ü’s summer smash “Where Are Ü Now” and a seemingly endless series of contrite public appearances alone and with his ex, Mr. Bieber opened at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart with “Purpose”, which sold 522,000 copies and had a remarkable 100 million streams in the United States, according to Nielsen data released Monday. And we can already feel this album being a success.

Going from a teen star to a serious recording artist is anything but easy. Just ask anyone who isn't Justin Timberlake. But Justin Bieber is certainly giving it his best shot on his first album since entering his 20s. It seems to be working; despite his huge profile, lead single 'What Do You Mean?' was actually his first #1 hit in this country.
It would've been easy for Bieber to release a record of pure EDM bangers that were entirely devoid of personality, but he's actually been a lot more canny than that. 'Purpose' puts a lot of faith in the strength of the melodies underpinning the tracks and, for the most part, it's a smart move. Tracks like 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself' are deftly understated and certainly demonstrate that Bieber realises his core audience are maturing as he is.
In fact, paradoxically, because of how un-bold the tracks on 'Purpose' are, that in itself makes it a very bold album. It's sensual night music, taking its cues from 1990s R&B and the singer-songwriter confessional style of Ed Sheeran. Even Bieber's guest spot on the Skrillex and Diplo song 'Where Are Ü Now" somehow fits in with the overall introspective aesthetic. The fact that 'Purpose' features some of the hottest writers and producers in the game right now means there's enough going on to hold your interest throughout.

For his first album in over three years, it's difficult to see how this could have gone any better for Bieber We can deffinetly see his recent love and heartbreak throughout his album about on and off Girlfriend Kylie Jenner who just released her album "King Kylie" a few months ago who is still crushing the charts and it up for a few awards so far...Jenner has said that her album was mostly about her relationship with now Ex Justin Bieber, And we can totally feel that Justin has pulled another stunt, writing an album about Kylie

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
