Justin Bieber surprised fans today by releasing 'Swag', his seventh studio album, hours after he teased it on billboards and social media posts.
It is his first album since 2021’s 'Justice' and his first since becoming a father last year.
“Inspired by his devotion as a husband and father, this new era of music has fueled a deeper perspective and more reflective sound, resulting in some of his most personal music yet,” Def Jam Recordings said of the 21-track album.
Bieber, the two-time Grammy Award winning singer and Canadian pop idol who revolutionized teen pop and social media fame, is best known for his silky R&B pop lyric tenor.
In 2023, Bieber sold the rights to his music - all six of his albums, including hits like 'Sorry' and 'Baby' - to Hipgnosis, a UK-based music investment company. The deal’s financial details were not disclosed, but Billboard Magazine reports that the sale was worth an estimated $200 million.
In August 2024, Bieber and his wife, the model Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin), announced the birth of their first child, Jack Blues Bieber.
