Regardless of how you feel about Justin Bieber, as a person, there is no denying that the kid's got talent. And unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably seen all the buzz surrounding his new video series for his new album, Purpose.
Justin Bieber Music Videos Broken Down:
Purpose: The Movement is a huge deal for the dance world. Not only for its artistic forwardness, but because several of Justin Bieber's music videos feature dancers that we know, recognize, learn from, and work with. To see such familiar faces in a major recording artist's work is overwhelmingly refreshing.Are we seeing a revival of music videos? Will they inspire millions more to start dancing as did ABDC and SYTYCD? Choreographer, dancer, and director of ReQuest Dance Crew, the one and only Parris Goebel oversaw the entire project, collaborating with different artists and dancers, including Keone and Mari, Lyle Beniga, Ian Eastwood, and more. And her take is nothing short of amazing. But we aren't surprised- after all, we've been fans for years. The tracklist is addictive, as it is, but it's even more epic when you watch the visuals in succession.
