Justin Bieber is laying it all out on the table and he is winning the hearts of America once again as he promotes his “bad boy gone good” persona and upcoming Purpose album.
As he prepares to release his new album on Friday, November 13, the 21-year-old singer graces the cover of i-D magazine’s winter 2015 issue, where he shows off his abs, his tattoos, and his freshly-dyed platinum blonde hair.
Justin flaunted his best model smoulders in a series of color, black-and-white, and multicolored pics for the mag. He gives a swoon-worthy wink in the cover shot, and in another pic, he flexes his manly muscles. As if that’s not enough to make Beliebers go crazy, the Biebs is rocking some rugged scruff that just adds to the sexiness.
Among the pink-and-yellow tinted shots is a pose that looks very similar to JB’s Purpose cover where he has his hands pressed together in a pray-like pose. It’s certainly a great reminder that his new album drops just a few days after these pics were revealed.
Justin sat down with i-D magazine for an intimate interview. In it, he spoke about his new sound, his bleached blonde hair, Kendall Jenner, Selena Gomez, and much more.
In the interview, the chart topper discusses his “comeback” year: “People are really interested because of the transition from boy to man. It was tough because I had to really stick to my guns. I was like, ‘I’m going to fight it. I’m going to fight what you say, even if you guys are going to stop pushing my project. I would rather not be successful than let you steal this from me.’"
"Finally, I’d pushed for so long and been so consistent," he added. "‘It’s either this way or it’s no way, you let me do this or nothing’ — that they let me do what I wanted to do.”
On his new sound: “I think it’s more relatable now. When I had that young voice it was hard for people to connect. Dudes can listen to it now and say, ‘Yeah, I like that new Bieber song.'”
