"I'M 18 years old and I’m a swaggy adult!”

That was Justin Bieber’s proclamation to  GQ magazine in an interview published in this month’s issue. But is he, really?

In April, The New Paper got a preview of his upcoming album, Believe, out here on June 18.

Musically, the Canadian music sensation seems to be keen to move from sugary teen pop to a more R&B and dance-heavy sound akin to another Justin – Timberlake, that is.

But of late, his headline-grabbing antics point to a young superstar who is still having a little trouble finding his footing.

Of course, there are some clear signs that Bieber is relishing his coming-of-age rite of passage and doing his own thing.
