Justin Bieber announces upcoming Swag II album, shares family photo - here are the details
Justin Bieber has surprised fans with the announcement of his eighth studio album, Swag II. The pop sensation made the announcement on Instagram, sharing a family snapshot and minimalist artwork for the upcoming release.
The caption for the post reads, "Swag II Tonight Midnight". The album is set to drop at midnight on Friday, following the stealth release of Swag in July.
Swag II is a sequel to Bieber's seventh studio album, which had 21 songs exploring themes of love, fatherhood, and life. The tracklist for Swag II remains undisclosed, but fans can expect to hear "Daisies," a dreamy alt-R&B ballad, and "Go Baby," inspired by his wife Hailey Bieber.
One of the highlights of Swag was the soulful collaboration with R&B artist Dijon, titled "Devotion." The track is expected to feature in Swag II as well.
Justin Bieber sold the rights to his six previous albums to U.K.-based music investment firm Hipgnosis in a deal whose price tag remains undisclosed. Scooter Braun acquired the rights to Bieber's albums after his last re-release in 2021.
The release of Swag II marks Bieber's first new music since 2021's album, Justice. The cover of Swag II features a pale pink backdrop, contrasting with the black cover of Swag.
The Instagram post for Swag II includes a family snapshot of Bieber, his wife Hailey Bieber, and their infant son, Jack Blues Bieber. Fans are eagerly awaiting the midnight release of Swag II, which will be available on all major streaming platforms.
