Justin Bieber Explains Himself In A Remarkable Zane Lowe Interview

By FYI Staff

Friday, Justin Bieber released Chances, his fifth studio album and the first since Purpose in 2015.

Needless to say, interest in it is explosive. The two teaser singles have both been massive hits for him. Simultaneous with the 17-track album’s release, all tickets for his lengthy 45-date tour went on sale.

Below, his interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. It’s a remarkable conversation that finds the 25-year-old candid about his past, the significance of Jesus in his life today, how his wife Haley has turned his life around, what it’s like to live a life where people have told him he is “awesome” since his discovery in his teens, and how trust, acceptance and his relationship with his father have started to become staples in a life that has had its stormy weather. Towards the end of the interview, he discusses his own personal pain and the suffering of the many in this world. He comes close to shedding tears. Not the usual celebrity interview, but then Justin has forever proven himself to be anything but ordinary when it comes to sharing his life with fans.

Read Lucian Grainge’s Memo on UMG-TikTok Deal: ‘Entire Music Ecosystem’ Will Benefit

The new agreement, announced in the early morning, addresses "key changes in several critical areas," Grainge said in outlining what UMG achieved in negotiations.

Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge penned a memo to staff, obtained by Billboard, about the music company’s new licensing agreement with TikTok that ended a three-month standoff between the two entities, saying the deal ended with “a decidedly positive outcome,” with TikTok agreeing “to key changes in several critical areas.”

The announcement of the new deal, which came after a high-profile dispute between the world’s largest music company and one of the current premier social media platforms in the world that first erupted in late January, was announced early this morning (May 2). The agreement will see UMG’s millions of compositions and songs, both from its recorded divisions and its publishing company, return to the platform “in due course.” The feud has been one of the biggest talking points in the music business for the better part of this year, with artists and songwriters caught in the middle of the corporate standoff and looking for alternate ways to promote and market their music beyond the parameters of TikTok.
