Justin Bieber’s manager has revealed that the star’s next album, titled Believe, will be released next summer.

Manager Scooter Braun said the Baby singer has been hard at work in the studio and that his voice is sounding better than ever. “I'm really excited for him. This kid can sing his ass off. He's coming into his own,” he said, but added that the LP would not be released until it was absolutely perfect.

JB’s manager said that Justin was keen to show off his songwriting abilities on the follow-up to My World 2.0. “He is pretty adamant about writing most of the album,” Scooter revealed. “And he played me some stuff that he's been doing on his own. He wrote this amazing song that sounds like a Jodeci record.”

As previously reported on MTV, the U Smile hitmaker [uuid=2f693bd2-3f23-4bc5-9293-a9048984d245]has got inspiration for the album[/uuid]from Justin Timberlake. “I'm trying to create a new sound that people aren't really used to hearing, so it might sound weird at first, but it's going to be like when Justin Timberlake did FutureSex/LoveSounds,” he explained.

“It was a new sound ... acoustic guitar over hard drums. I want to find something that's going to suit me and my fans are going to love and older people will like and younger people will like.”
