Seemingly out of nowhere, Lil Wayne's jam "How To Love" has become the hottest cover song for like, every popular, attractive important teen pop star. Yesterday we told you about Demi Lovato's INSANELY GREAT R&B-tinged take on Wayne's record, and today, we bring you yet another cover by none other than Demi's BFF's boyfriend Justin Bieber. You guys get that? Good.
Justin's studio-recorded take on Lil Wayne's "How To Love" features some silky smooth and sexy pop vocals. (Wait, is that weird to say "sexy"? He's still like, 17.) Like Demi Lovato's, Justin's approach to the song features a more acoustic vibe, which we think suits the original gritty record really well. The instrumentation is simple -- all we hear is the clear strum of an acoustic guitar and layers upon layers of Justin's like, million-part vocal harmony.
That is of course until Shawty Mane (Bieber's rapping alter ego) makes a short but extremely sweet cameo. With a laid-back swag reminiscent of say, well, Lil Wayne, Shawty Mane raps: "I just wanna take my time/I just wanna do my thing/Maybe we press rewind/I just wanna buy that ring."
Doing his THING?? Buying a RING?? Hold up a sec there, Shawty. It's not quite time to throw down "A Milli" for a ring yet, but renting out the Staples Center to give your GF Selena Gomez a private screening of "Titanic" is definitely a great temporary solution.
