For Believe Acoustic, however, the song is given room to breathe Bieber more than demonstrates he can hold the tune – and it’s all the better for it. On the jittery “As Long As You Love Me” original, rapper Big Sean added R&B ballast to a lighter pop track largely pumped up by some extreme production trickery. Here, however, layers of the Max Martin-assisted dance track are peeled away to reveal a lighter, more satisfying melody. “Beauty And A Beat,” a hit duet with Nicki Minaj from the previous autumn (it made the US Top 5 and went Top 20 across Europe), had been the single that hinted most strongly at the direction Bieber would take on 2015’s Purpose. Most startling, the R&B tumble of “Boyfriend” – a No.2 hit in both the US and the UK – was reimagined as a tender acoustic ballad with Bieber’s assured vocal accompanied by a solitary guitar. Instead of taking the easy route of hiring remixers to add new elements to familiar hits, Bieber decided to reinterpret his material in a loose, stripped-back style.
