Scooter Braun Responds to Justin Bieber's Latest Album

Liputan6.com, Jakarta The launch of Justin Bieber's new album, "SWAG", has caught the attention of many people, including his former long-time manager, Scooter Braun.

As is known, Bieber has surprisingly officially launched his seventh studio album on Friday, July 11, last week. The album features the star relying on a more introspective sound, which results in some of his most personal material.

"SWAG" features 21 new songs, but the total duration is less than an hour. Musicians were involved as collaborators, including Dijon, Lil B, Sexyy Red, Gunna, Cash Cobain, 2 Chainz, and many more.

In response to the surprising album release, Braun shared his thoughts through an Instagram Story upload.

"It's been a beautiful start to the weekend and I've been getting a lot of text messages about how I feel about Justin's new album," Braun wrote, beginning his response.

"So, I'll just stop here... This is, without a doubt, Justin Bieber's most authentic album to date. It's beautiful, it's real, and it truly reflects him. And that's important."

Braun continued: "I've had the honor of watching his development over nearly two decades. In every journey, there comes a time when an artist truly finds himself-and that's exactly what he's done here. He poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every piece."

Braun says Bieber's surprising way of releasing his album is as intentional as his music.

"And I'm happy to see him do it this way. I didn't play any role in this song, but as someone who has always believed in him, I am very proud, impressed, and really enjoy his music," he said.

Furthermore, Braun said "DAISIES" was his favorite track for the album. "Stream the swag and support the authentic sound."

For information, Braun's statement comes after several reports in recent days stated that he and Bieber reached a settlement worth millions of US dollars after a financial dispute.
