We had discussions along the lines of helping Justin to find his feet and direction, but a lot of what we did was just writing and recording new songs, and seeing what came out. There were some songs, mostly written by Poo Bear, that rose to the top, and we realised we had to build around them. In the end it took Justin about two years to get clear on where he wanted to go. CONOR MAYNARD CONTRAST ZIP FULLīut Justin was directly involved with the entire process of making the album and he has full accountability on this one.” Poo Bear and I knew what Justin liked, and we brought in many other songwriters, and when Skrillex came in it went one step up again. Producer, engineer and mixer Josh Gudwin has been Justin Bieber’s right-hand man for many years. Gudwin, Poo Bear and Bieber engaged a proliferation of songwriters and producers in the making of Purpose that is impressive even by the sprawling standards of 21st Century pop/R&B albums. In addition to Skrillex there were dozens of others, amongst them Diplo, Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco, Soundz, Mike Dean, Michael ‘Blood Pop’ Tucker and Ian Kirkpatric. Normally this would be indicative of a scattered and disjointed album, but in fact, Purpose hangs together pretty well, which probably contributed to the album’s remarkable commercial success.
