Bieber hoping to work with himself on new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 28 June 2011
For someone so young, Justin Bieber has collaborated with an impressive range of artists. But for his next album, he’s hoping to work with himself. I think he meant in an emotional sense, but it’s funnier if we all pretend he meant he wants a solo collaboration. Bieber told MTV: “I want to work a lot with myself. And [I want to] write a lot myself. I will be working with a lot of other producers and stuff like that, but I’m just writing a lot, writing on tour”.
He added that he’s already got some ideas recorded, saying: “[I’m] writing about how I feel. I’ve been producing on my laptop and on my computer. I’ve been really into it and, hopefully, this next album will be huge. I’ve done a lot on my acoustic guitar, so it’s gonna have that vibe. I’m not gonna really limit myself. I think music is music, and genre – I mean, I know there’s country music, there’s rock music, but my music is different. My voice is not meant for any style. I just want to make music”.
We’d try to find the energy to mock that quote a bit, but look, Justin’s been mocking himself with a spoof of his recent vomit-inducing perfume ad (see that below). I do hope he hasn’t been advised to go the Justin Timberlake ‘mock yourself until people get bored of mocking you’ route, that’ll be no fun.
