Justin Bieber’s record label, refers to the 18-year-old phenom as “the Prince of Pop” as they announce a new acoustic album to be released later this month.
Believe Acoustic, a stripped-down version of Bieber’s multi-platinum album Believe, is due out on Jan. 29, just before Bieber is scheduled to host and perform on Saturday Night Live on Feb. 9. Believe Acoustic will feature new renditions of Bieber’s hits “As Long As You Love Me,”“Boyfriend” and “Beauty and a Beat,” as well as a special live version of “Fall” and three previously unreleased tracks: “Yellow Raincoat,” “I Would” and “Nothing Like Us.”
“Fans of the Prince of Pop should flock to Believe Acoustic,” reads the release.
While the unofficial title has been occasionally referenced in the past (including on the cover of V Magazine last January), Bieber’s label is undoubtedly hoping to help the name stick — much like the late Jackson is considered “the King of Pop.”
