MUMBAI: After spending most of the past three years in tabloids and paparazzi cover photos, BRIT Award winner Justin Bieber might finally release his much awaited fourth album in 2015. The 'Baby' hitmaker dropped a major hint in a Twitter conversation with MTV, responding to a tweet by MTV which asked Bieber to release some new music this coming year. MTV tweeted, "Hi, Rihanna and Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. Please bless us with new albums in 2015." And Bieber replied, "No problem."

It may not be a definitive conformation, but it is most certainly close to it. Recently, he uploaded a photo on his Instagram explaining his long absence from making music. He said, "My break is for a reason. U will soon see J thank u for your patience." (sic)

Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, also uploaded a photo on Instagram with a quote stating, "2013 was practice, 2014 was the warm up, 2015 is game time." The 20 year old's music producer SoundZ (real name Kenneth Cobe) also tweeted saying, "this new jb album, not that is something I am gonna be able to brag about! Still working, it is just getting warm. We got too much material." (sic)

@MTV no problem

Bieber topped Forbes' annual list of highest earning celebrities under 30, for which he reportedly earned around $80 million over a 12-month period. He is also ranked third on Billboard's 30 Most Anticipated Albums of 2015. Business Insider also included him as one of "The 7 Biggest Comeback Brands of 2015."

Bieber's last studio album was 2012's 'Believe'. In late 2013, he released a string of new songs during a 10-week campaign called Music Mondays. The tracks appeared as 'Journals' and were made available for digital download on iTunes.
