Justin Bieber is moving past his naked photo scandal and directs the attention to his upcoming release. The pop star unveiled the cover art of his new album "Purpose" via Instagram on Friday, October 9.
The artwork was first released bit by bit to make one giant collage. It's a picture of shirtless Bieber facing the ground and fixing his hands in near-prayer. The art splashed all over the cover was created by Los Angeles street artist Retna who is known for his graffiti art.
Just a week ago, little was known about details of the album. Bieber then tattooed "Purpose" on his torso, prompting rumors that it would be the title. The effort is expected to be released on November 13 with "What Do You Mean?" as the first single.
Earlier this year, Bieber told USA Today that the album would be about "growing, being in touch with yourself...Hope and faith, that's what's gotten me through this too, my faith. What I believe in. You're around some people sometimes and it might taint what you believe. I think that's what happened with me, I lowered my beliefs."
