Justin Bieber drops surprise new album, ‘SWAG’

Justin Bieber has sprung a surprise on fans – releasing his first new studio album in four years.

“SWAG,” the Canadian singer’s seventh studio album, features 21 tracks, including collaborations with rap artist Gunna, gospel singer Dijon, rapper Lil B, comedian Druski, rapper Sexyy Red, musician Cash Cobain and singer-songwriter Eddie Benjamin. The album’s final song, “Forgiveness,” is performed not by Bieber but by pastor and gospel singer Marvin Winans.

In the 14th track, “Therapy Session,” Bieber tells Druski, “I think that’s been a tough thing for me recently is feeling like, you know, I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly. And so people are always asking if I’m okay, and that starts to really weigh on me.”

Another track with Druski, “Standing on Business,” makes light of a video of the singer that went viral in June, in which he goes on a rant at paparazzi whom he said were trying to provoke him while he was at the beach.

In the track, Druski mocks the way Bieber maintains his flawless pronunciation of the word “business” while haranguing the paparazzi.
