Never Say Never: The Remixes was released a few days after the documentary Justin Bieber: Never Say Never hit movie screens. It†s less an album of remixes and much more like a brief collection of alternate versions designed to maximize Bieber†s appeal across genres, with appearances from major R&B, rap, country, and pop artists. The title song was originally featured in the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid and features guest MC†ing from the movie†s star, Jaden Smith (nearly a dead ringer for Kriss Kross' Mack Daddy, as some parents might notice). The ballad "†That Should Be Me†" gets an unsurprisingly natural-sounding country overhaul with Rascal Flatts. Chris Brown is added as a background vocalist to "†Up†"; otherwise, the song is identical to the original version on My World 2.0. A †live† version of "†Overboard†" is a duet with Miley Cyrus. There†s one new song, a lukewarm inspirational ballad. Overall, the release won†t add much to a Bieber fan†s collection, unless it develops into a gateway to the rich discography of Raekwon, who appears with Kanye West on "†Runaway Love.†"
Condition: NEW.
