Every half-decade or so, Justin Bieber sloughs off the callused skin of the pop superstar he became at age 15 to reveal the tender and quirky R&B singer he’s always been at heart. He did it in 2013 with his album “Journals,” then in 2020 with “Changes.”

Justin Bieber is about to drop a new album, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Def Jam will release his long-awaited seventh album on Friday, July 11, sources reveal. A representative for Bieber didn’t reply to request for comment. Def Jam declined to comment.

Justin Bieber addressed his instantly memed paparazzi moment on his new album 'Swag,' as well as sings about his devotion to wife Hailey and son Jack.
