Ceci est la traduction adaptée d’un article de Nancy Dillon, originalement publié par Rolling Stone le 4 septembre 2025. Nous republions l'article originalement intitulé Justin Bieber Surprise Announces ‘Swag II’ avec la permission de son autrice. Notez que certaines subtilités et nuances peuvent différer de la version originale.

Justin Bieber a annoncé la sortie d’un nouvel album, Swag II, qui paraîtra ce soir à minuit.


Le chanteur a dévoilé la nouvelle jeudi sur Instagram, reprenant la stratégie employée pour Swag. Il a publié une série de photos montrant des bâtiments et des panneaux publicitaires où le titre Swag II est projeté, avant de révéler une pochette entièrement rose, sans autre élément que le nom de l’album. Certains panneaux numériques affichent aussi une image de Bieber avec sa femme, Hailey, et leur fils.

Pour l’instant, il n’a ni partagé la liste des pièces ni confirmé d’éventuelles collaborations. Si l’annonce suit le même modèle que celle de Swag, plus de détails devraient être révélés progressivement sur Instagram au cours de la journée.

Sorti en juillet, Swag était son premier album en quatre ans et avait été dévoilé par surprise. Réalisé avec des producteurs comme Dijon, Mk.gee et Carter Lang, il réunissait des invités tels que Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Gunna, Lil B, Druski et d’autres. L’album abordait la vie familiale de Bieber et ses hauts et bas. Il est entré en deuxième position au Billboard 200, mettant fin à une série de six albums numéro un, mais a connu la plus grosse semaine de streaming de la carrière du chanteur avec près de 200 millions d’écoutes à la demande. Son extrait principal, Daisies, avait également débuté au deuxième rang du Hot 100.

Depuis Justice en 2021, Bieber avait traversé une période difficile marquée par un diagnostic du syndrome de Ramsay Hunt qui avait forcé l’arrêt puis l’annulation de sa tournée, ainsi que par sa séparation d’avec Scooter Braun, son manager de longue date.

Miley Cyrus Signs to Atlantic Records

Miley Cyrus is ushering in a new era of her music career, signing with Atlantic Records, label home to Bruno Mars, Charli XCX, Cardi B, Kehlani, and many others, Rolling Stone has confirmed. It marks Cyrus’ exit from Columbia Records, the label she joined in 2021, with whom she released a string of hit singles including “Jaded” and “Flowers,” which won Cyrus her first Grammy Award in 2024.

Cyrus has never quite operated the way a typical pop star might be expected to, and this label switch is the latest example. Cyrus started out as a Disney artist, where her character Hannah Montana doubled as a springboard for her own pop stardom. The Disney chapter yielded one of her most iconic songs, 2009’s “Party in the U.S.A.,” whose popularity has seen several resurgences in the decade-plus since its release.

Trump Finds Consolation in Posting Dozens of AI Slop Delusions

If you want to get an inside view into Donald Trump’s accelerating, public detachment from reality, all you need to do is scroll through his posting diary on Truth Social. The president spent the weekend feverishly sharing a deluge of AI Slop about the Iran war, his critics, and his own self delusions.

The barrage began Sunday morning, when Trump shared an image of CNN host Kaitlan Collins edited to look like trangender influencer Dylan Mulvaney — a frequent target of right-wing attacks. The image was a reference to comments the president made during Friday night’s re-do of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which was rescheduled from April after a gunman attempted to force entry into the venue.

Admit It: ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Is the Song of the Summer

It’s late July, the time of year when the days are long, the parents are restless, and everyone is consumed with a seasonal debate: What exactly is the Song of the Summer? Though this amorphous title isn’t usually anointed until around Labor Day, the chatter starts almost as soon as the season heats up. In today’s social media-centric, algorithm-driven market, however, it’s harder than ever to reach consensus. Still, one thing seems pretty clear to me — Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” is hands down the song of Summer 2026.

So, why aren’t we admitting it yet?

25 Years of ‘Bleed American’ and ‘The Middle’: Jimmy Eat World Look Back

When Jimmy Eat World‘s Jim Adkins wrote one of the greatest-ever musical pep talks, “The Middle,” he might as well have been talking to himself. His Tempe, Arizona band had just been dropped from Capitol Records, and they recorded their fourth album with no new deal in sight. But the 11 lean, hook-packed songs that became 2001’s Bleed American were so strong that they sparked a major-label bidding war, and the band signed to the now-defunct Dreamworks Records.

The album, and the still-ubiquitous “The Middle” in particular, ended up defining Jimmy Eat World’s career. They’re out on tour now marking its 25th anniversary by playing it in full, including at all five dates of the revived Warped Tour. Frontman Jim Adkins jumped on a Zoom with Rolling Stone to talk about making the album, the underwear-party video for “The Middle,” the influence of Bruce Springsteen, and much more.
