Three years after the arrival of Justin Bieber‘s last studio album, the hitmaker is back in the recording studio with new music on the horizon!
The 30-year-old “Peaches” crooner and new dad hasn’t unleased an album since 2021′s Justice. In the years since, he’s hopped on a few collaborations but has largely taken a break from the recording industry.
In a new interview, one of Justin‘s collaborators confirmed that they were working on new music and reflected on the process.
Speaking to The New York Times, writer and producer Mk.gee said that he and Justin were collaborating.
“He’s searching,” he said about the hitmaker. “Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music. You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.”
It’s unclear if Justin is working on a follow-up to Justice or something else. However, it’s good to know that something is in the works.
Mk.gee did make it clear that he was about pushing boundaries in the recording studio.
“Experimentalism has no meaning unless it’s done on the grandest scale,” he said. “I just don’t want to join somebody else’s citadel. I want to build my own thing. My own castle with my friends, because that’s what’s needed. And if people want to come, they can come.”
If you missed it, over the summer Justin performed a very rare concert at a high-profile wedding. It was one of his first live shows since he was diagnosed with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome in late 2022 and had to cancel his Justice World Tour.
