Hosts
An R&B and soul album, "Journals" steps away from Bieber's more teen-pop sound of his previous efforts, while also having pop influences. As claimed by "Spin" Brandon Soderberg, "[s]onically, it’s up there with "Beyoncé" in terms of holding tight to the patience of ’80s and ’90s R&B while never forgetting the sugar-rush rewards of pop." Soderberg also reflected that Bieber was inspired by many R&B artists such as "Aaliyah, Drake, Maxwell, Miguel, Sade, and Usher out of EDM mode." According to one of its producers, Jason Boyd, "Justin grew up listening to R&B. Journals was trying because it was going against the grain [of what he had been doing sonically], but it served so much of a purpose in him growing up." Chris Martins of "Billboard" also noted that the album "drew on Boyd’s experience writing for 112, Usher and Chris Brown."
