Justin Bieber has sprung a surprise on fans – releasing his first new studio album in four years. “SWAG,” the Canadian singer’s seventh studio album, features 21 tracks, including collaborations with rap artist Gunna, gospel singer Dijon, rapper Lil B, comedian Druski, rapper Sexyy Red, musician Cash Cobain and singer-songwriter Eddie Benjamin. The album’s final song, “Forgiveness,” is performed not by Bieber but by pastor and gospel singer Marvin Winans. “Congratulations @lilbieber for making a wild and deeply inspiring record,” Dijon wrote in a post on Instagram Friday in which he shared the album, along with images of what appear to be recording sessions. “Grateful to have been able to witness and be a tiny part of a beautiful thing. Humbled!” he added. The album from Bieber, who in March shared a social media post about feeling “unworthy,” and in June posted on Instagram about being “broken,” is infused with a tone of vulnerability.
