Justin Bieber's "Stress-Free" Music Sessions: A New Creative Chapter
Los Angeles, California – Justin Bieber's recent music sessions have been described as "mad cool" and remarkably "stress-free" by rising drill artist Cash Cobain, offering a revealing glimpse into the pop superstar's creative process. This newfound relaxed atmosphere is largely attributed to Bieber's recent separation from his longtime manager, Scooter Braun.
Inside the "Swag" Sessions
In an interview with GQ, Cash Cobain detailed how their collaboration for Bieber's surprise album, "Swag," came to fruition. After Bieber expressed appreciation for Cobain's track "Trippin on a Yacht," Cobain reached out via direct message, suggesting they work together. The actual sessions, which reportedly also included Hailey Bieber and Jack Blues (Bieber's son), were informal jam sessions held at Bieber's home.
Cobain recounted, "We were just sitting in a circle, passing the mic and just saying s--- on the beat. I was just saying mad dumb s---." He praised Bieber's down-to-earth demeanor, remarking, "You might think Justin Bieber would be on some other s---, but bro is mad cool. It was just natural…" The title track of Bieber's new album, "Swag," directly resulted from one of these spontaneous ad-libbing sessions.
The Impact of the Scooter Braun Split
A significant factor in this shift, as highlighted by Cobain and other sources, is Bieber's newfound creative freedom following his official split from Scooter Braun in 2023. A source quoted by Rolling Stone noted, "Breaking away from Scooter Braun and his team has been something that Justin has wanted for so long, and now that he's fully free, he could finally share this album with his fans and with the world." This liberation has enabled Bieber to explore new musical avenues without the pressure of crafting a "perfect" single or album, leading to what many are calling a more authentic and vulnerable sound.
Financial Resolution
The separation from Braun also involved a notable financial dispute, which has now reportedly been settled. Bieber reportedly agreed to pay Braun over $30 million. This sum includes approximately $26 million related to an advance for his canceled 2022 "Justice" tour and an additional $5.5 million for unpaid commissions. This settlement appears to have cleared the way for Bieber to fully own his masters, beginning with the "Swag" album.
"Swag": A Surprise Album and New Collaborations
Justin Bieber surprised fans by releasing his new album, "Swag," on July 11, 2025. This marks his first full-length project since 2021's "Justice." The 21-track album showcases a diverse lineup of collaborators, including Cash Cobain, Gunna, Sexyy Red, Mk.gee, Lil B, and Dijon, among others. Reports also indicate that Hailey Bieber provided significant support throughout the album's creation, helping her husband "follow his artistic instincts."
