Justin Bieber released a new album just in time for Christmas as a special treat for his fans. His latest album, "Complete my Journals" is now available on iTunes.
Promoting his album in his Music Mondays series, 19-year-old Bieber included recent singles in his newest album, including "Heartbreaker," "Hold Tight," "All Bad," "Rollercoaster," and "All That Matters."
The album also includes new tracks featuring rappers Lil Wayne, Big Sean, and Future. Production from Diplo also adds to former collaborators that include R. Kelly and Chance the Rapper.
With encouragement from the Biebs for his fans to support the new album, he explained how the record is close to his heart. He tweeted, "It's all about the music. Complete the #Journals. This music means everything to me."
Bieber worried his fans last week when he announced on Twitter his retirement from music. It turned out to be a joke, however, and his manager, Scooter Braun, confirmed that Bieber will only be taking a break from the spotlight.
At the Believe premiere, Scooter said, "He said in the interview that he was kidding two seconds later. Next year he is just taking a break to just make music and relax and take time to himself. It's the first time [he's had a break] since he was 12."
According to MusicTimes, if Bieber was serious about his retirement from the music industry, he "would be setting a high standard even compared to Jay Z. The rapper released eight albums before beginning an unusually short hiatus, whereas Bieber has only released five (including one Christmas LP). Jay was also 34 when he claimed retirement (still awfully early to call it quits), whereas Bieber is 19. "
"Complete My Journals" was released on December 23, and you can download the entire aalbum over at iTunes, and listen to the tracks for free on YouTube at Bieber's Music Mondays Page.
