Justin Bieber released his seventh album “Swag” only a few hours after announcing the project and its tracklist.
The album is 21 tracks, showing guests of a multitude of artists, including Gunna, Sexyy Red, Dijon, Dijon, Lil B, Cash Cobain, Eddie Benjamin and Marvin Winans on the closer “forgiveness”, an interpretation of “Lord, I raise your name on High”. Bieber managed production on “Swag” alongside Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Daniel Caesar, Mk.Gee, Daniel Chetrit, Knox Fortune and more.
Earlier in the day, fans around the world took note of the display panels in Iceland, Atlanta and Los Angeles representing an image of Bieber accompanied by the word “Swag”, suggesting that a record was on the way.
Bieber confirmed that the display panels were in fact real by republishing them to his Instagram and, shortly after, published a video taken in Times Square in New York which praised a tracklist of 20 songs. He also included images taken from what seemed to be filming the album’s cover, representing Bieber images holding his son Jack Blues and accompanied by his wife Hailey.
In the months preceding “Swag”, Bieber shared snapshots from the studio on social networks, suggesting that he was working on new music. According to information, he had organized Jam sessions in his house in Los Angeles with appearances by Carter Lang, Eddie Benjamin and Tay James.
“Swag” is the follow -up of Bieber to “Justice”, released in 2021. This album made its debut at N ° 1 on the Billboard 200 and gave birth to the successes “Anyy”, “Hold on” and the biggest Smash “Peaches” of the decor with Daniel Caesar and Giveon.
After the release of “justice”, Bieber launched his world tour of justice in February 2022. Although the dates were scheduled for March 2023, he interrupted the visit to prioritize his health in September 2022, and then canceled the postponed dates. Since then, Bieber has been relatively silent on the music front, returning on stage earlier this year as a guest during Sza’s performance at the Sofi Angeles stadium for an interpretation of their “snooze” collaboration.
