NEW YORK: Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has released his first solo single in four years making a career comeback that will see him release a new album, go on tour and star in a documentary series this year.
The 25-year-old told fans last month he would release his fifth studio album in 2020, his first since ‘Purpose’ in 2015.
Bieber’s new single ‘Yummy’ appears to pay tribute to his model wife Hailey Baldwin with lyrics such as “I’m elated that you are my lady” and “You got that yummy-yum”.
Last year Bieber took to Instagram to talk about his struggles with “deep-rooted issues” saying he was putting new music on hold. He also pulled out of his 2017 ‘Purpose’ world tour saying he needed rest,
“As humans we are imperfect. My past, my mistakes, all the things that I’ve been through, I believe that I’m right where I’m supposed to be and God has me right where he wants me,” Bieber said in a video last week.
“I feel like this is different than the previous albums just because of where I’m at in my life.”
Bieber has collaborated DJ Khaled and Ed Sheeran on different records in the last few years. He has also listed dates for a North American tour.
Earlier this week, YouTube said a 10-part documentary series “Justin Bieber: Seasons”, in which the “Sorry” singer talks about his new album and personal life, would launch on the video platform on January 27.
