“Swag,” his seventh studio album, doesn’t sound like the singer’s usual swing-for-the-fences pop production. Instead, Bieber embraces reverent R&B and tranquil soft rock, an unexpected turn that has drawn applause around the music industry.

His latest album is his seventh. He became the youngest solo artist to have 100 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 list in 2021, according to billboard, and last year he sold the rights to all six of his previous albums to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for $200 million, according to Al-Jazeera .

Bieber previously canceled a world tour in 2022 due to health issues, and he has not released new music since.
