Justin Bieber sounds like he’s getting closer to releasing new music for the first time in over three years … because he’s been hitting the studio with a guitar hero.
Fresh off becoming a first-time father, Justin is collaborating with highly regarded indie musician Mk.gee.
The breakout artist is the subject of a new New York Times profile, where he’s hailed as an “unlikely guitar God” chasing the “promise of pop” … and in the interview, Mk.gee reveals he’s working with the Biebs.
Mk.gee says he’s been writing and recording new music with Justin, who he says is “searching” for a new sound.
It’s been three years since Justin last released music, with his 2021 album “Justice” … and Mk.gee says of JB, “Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music.”
Justin and Mk.gee sound like they’re cooking up some jams … Mk.gee says they’re working on some “pretty wild stuff” … though there’s no word on a possible release date.
Justin’s collaborator here is already stamped in the music industry … with Eric Clapton even going so far as to compare Mk.gee to a young Prince.
