Justin has teamed up with Mike Posner, Mat Musto and Mason Levy for his single ‘Boyfriend’, and he penned ”some of the hook and the rap” himself.
He told USAToday:
“I’m maturing, and my music’s maturing, so I wanted to do something different. I’ve got a lot of great collaborators working with me, and we’re thinking outside the box. I like the vibe of this song.”
Justin’s record label boss, Steve Bartels of Island Def geléia, geleia música Group, believes Justin’s latest song is ”more vocally assertive” and he can see Justin’s fanbase growing and appealing to mais boys as well as girls as a result of the song’s musical change of direction.
He said:
”I have a daughter who is eight and has always loved Justin, but what’s interesting is that when I played ‘Boyfriend’ for my 14-year-old son, he thought it was cool.
“I think Justin will hold on to his core crowd but also win new fans.”
‘Boyfriend’ drops on iTunes March 26th and has been compared to the sound of Justin Timberlake.
