I hope it's ok to start a new thread since Scooter his manager teased a new album last week and I'll outline below that it's been in the making for some time A brief timeline to album (will update when possible) 2nd half 2019: From his youtube docuseries, there are boards of song titles and most are not on Changes. He has been working on 2 albums simultaneously (Changes is supposed to be a project similar to his 2013 r&b mixtape called Journals) Nov 2019: Scooter said in an interview that he told Justin his next album (Changes) is "no pressure", Scooter knew it's not for charts and Justin shouldn't worry Jan 2020 interview: Zane Lowe asked Justin "if he's closer to making that album that picks up where Purpose left off but goes even further" Justin said yes and he already came up with the title and that Changes is for his wife Apr 2020 in quarantine: Justin said he has been in studio everyday, Scooter likes tweets that it's a pop album Scooter quickly puts together "Stuck with U" according to Gian Stone's instagram (one of the writers). The collab with J Balvin which has a music video shot in February is apparently scrapped. July 2020 Scooter tweets + dm fans that "new era is coming" Attachment Deleted Aug 2020 music video + photoshoots completed Sep 18 2020 "Holy" released Oct 16, 2020 "Lonely" released Nov 20, 2020 "Monster" released (it is the 2nd single from Shawn's album "Wonder" but follows the narrative of Lonely so I include it here)

I'd give him another chance as long as the lead single is better than yummy

Ready for it. People just don't like R&Bieber, but the naysayers didn't affect him at all!

I feel like this next album will be good. His last one was pretty bad, so I expect Scooter to come through with an image and sound change. Plus the tour was flopping so thanks to Covid, a new era might put him on the right track to selling out his next tour.

I think most people didn't want r&b and expected pop. I could see interest dwindling from when Justin first teased with "r&bieber" to announcing yummy to releasing yummy. After yummy it was disaster, the tour was going on sale, the album was set for release 6 weeks later, there was little time to turn things around. Luckily Intentions managed to save the era, 19 weeks in top 10 on hot 100 is pretty good recovery
I don't think Changes is that bad it wasn't meant to be a commercial album, but yummy should never been released that was a huge mistake. Anyway Justin knows he messed up and will try harder

Pop Bieber is always welcome. I get really bored while listening to Changes.

I'm interested to see where he goes with this next album. Changes was... a choice, but it definitely wasn't the career-ender some made it out to be.
I wish him the best of luck.
EDIT: No, I don't. Fuck him.

Just an update
The rescheduled tour because of Covid starts June 2, 2021 and it's no longer called "Changes Tour" just "World Tour" so a new album will definitely come before June
Justin on instagram: "just keepin u up to date as I rest and prepare for this next season! Really excited for this next chapter!"
Since he's still on his road trip, my guess is lead single mid Sep-early Oct, album Mar/Apr

Imagine him releasing a Gospel album instead of the Pop we've been waiting for since Purpose.

Justin was baptized in 2014, I guess he wanted to do it again as a couple. Not to worry the new album is definitely not gospel, Scooter and his label won't let him do that. Also recently Scooter liked another tweet that it's pop.
However I don't think it will be pure pop, Justin is aware pop doesn't stream that well in the US. I think album is either like Purpose with some r&b tracks or it's all pop with at least the singles urban infused pop.

I'm all for this, but is it too much to ask for my signed Yummy cds I paid for in January?

I don't think people don't like R&Bieber, Changes just happened to be a bad album period, nothing to do with the genre. Had it been good, it would've been a different story.

Justin is back in LA after a month and half. This from his story last time, the paps are always around his house. He tries to stay away so a shoot should be happening in the next 2 weeks Attachment Deleted

Justin already shot 2 things in the past week. The first was at Shrine Auditorium, my guess is he performed for the Emmys. If I got it right, that will kickstart the era then he announces the single and counts down. The 2nd thing is a photo shoot or could be music video. I think there are more shoots in the coming weeks, exciting for fans this era will have lot more happening!

A lot has happened! 1) Justin did a 2 day shoot pretty sure it's for a music video, the Popstar video was on different day a one day shoot 2) Scooter tweets "And so it begins", he also comments "new era" on Justin's instagram. Justin removed Changes from his twitter header 3) Justin posted 2 pics from one of his photoshoots, here is one. I guess his single is coming early October https://www.instagram.com/p/CE0LuZLHrkk

^^Back in May Justin posted this on instagram of him signing. The email from UMG (Universal Music Group) said they will be shipped in August but nothing. UMG is very slow, someone told me she still hasn't received her Ariana merch from last year!!
Fans have complained to Scooter that he didn't do enough for Changes era, I thought he did enough they can't expect him to spend knowing the payout. Anyway this new era is getting the Purpose treatment and I'm excited

Here for it but damn rip my signed Yummy singles (and no I will NOT let that go!) Don't stop sending e-mails to his team/company. I never received my Future Nostalgia signed card from Dua's store so about a month ago I sent them an e-mail expressing my disappointment and they immediately placed a new order for me. I received the autograph a week later. Of course, I doubt it was a "new order" and they were probably hoping that fans will forget about their orders so the same thing might be happening with the "Yummy" CDs.

Remember Journals didn't even chart on Billboard 200? It did 100k but his label didn't submit the data apparently they don't want him to do r&b. Everyone said he was over. The good thing about Changes is expectations for JB6 is lowered. Considering how yummy was disliked, Changes did pretty good chartwise. Now that the era is over I just want to do a quick wrapup:
-Over 1.6 billion spotify streams, all from this year
-Two top 5 on Hot 100 (yummy #2, Intentions #5 - 19 weeks in top 10)
-Changes is very close to platinum, was 900k in late July
