Self Titled

Self-titled is the second studio album by American-Serbian singer. It was released on October 14, 2016 through Columbia Records. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of his earlier album Oops!... I Did It Again (2015), hr began to embrace a significantly more mature sound with Self-titled. Its music incorporates genres of pop and R&B with influences of dance and occasionally dips into elements of disco, hip hop, rock, and electronica. Its lyrics address the subjects of reaching adulthood and sexuality. Contributions to its production came from a variety of collaborators, including Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. He himself assumed a more prominent role in the album's development, co-writing 12 of its tracks and co-producing 2 of its tracks
Upon its release, Self-titled received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented the progression from his earlier works, but criticized his increasingly provocative image. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 300,750 album-equivalent units. To promote the album, he embarked on his second concert tour, the Dream Within a Dream Tour, which began in November 2016 and continued until July 2017. The album received two Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards (2018).
