Pop pin-up Justin Bieber continues his foray into the world of R&B with new song ‘PYD’. So what better way to validate his new musical agenda than calling on the King of R&B, R. Kelly for the latest release in his Music Monday series.
The Pied Piper joins the purveyor of “Bieber Fever” on the slow-burning cut, with surprisingly refreshing results. Take a listen below…
We like. Although, we’re trying to wash the taste of “contrived” out of our mouths, so as to truly enjoy the surprisingly solid Urban efforts Bieber has been brewing of late.
Why are we cautious? Well, in a Pop landscape dominated by the likes of Miley Cyrus and her antics (which are bordering on blaxploitation at this point), it’s almost necessary to be.
In any case; whichever way it’s diced or sliced, it’s hard to deny that JB has been delivering the goods with his new material – ‘PYD’ included. We just wish his new R&B sound wasn’t so obviously paired with the “bad boy persona” he’s pushing these days. Too many covert connotations.
Anyway, that’s a conversation for another day. In there here and now…
