Justin Bieber Pictured In Studio With Kanye West

Pair look like they're working on songs for Bieber's upcoming Believe album.
By Gil Kaufman

<P>Perhaps Kanye West doesn't have to sleep like the rest of us mere mortals. That might explain how the rapper is seemingly everywhere at once these days: squiring <a href="/news/articles/1683892/kim-kardashian-kanye-west-romance.jhtml">Kim Kardashian all over New York</a>, shooting a mysterious <a href="/news/articles/1683847/kanye-west-kid-cudi-video-project-middle-east.jhtml">mini-movie in Qatar</a>&#8232; and popping into a recording studio to work on tracks with pal <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a>. </P><P> </P><P>While the 18-year-old pop star has been wrapping up work on his upcoming album, <a href="/news/articles/1683335/justin-bieber-believe-the-voice.jhtml"><I>Believe</I>,</a>&#8232; due out June 19, he got a visit from West. Bieber's bodyguard Kenny Hamilton confirmed the superstar summit, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/KennyHamilton/status/196040151489724416" target="_blank">tweeting out a photo</a> of the pair working together on an unspecified song. </P><P> </P><P><embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:754722/cp~vid%3D754722%26uri%3Dmgid%3Auma%3Avideo%3Amtv.com%3A754722" width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed> </P><P> </P><P>"Putting the finishing touches on the album and it's gonna be special," he wrote while posting an Instagram pic of West tapping away on a laptop in the studio with Bieber in the background. He followed with a post that appeared to be another enthusiastic response to the studio get-down, writing, "Also witnessed a current legend and one future legend make magic once again ... I love this thing we call music!" </P><P> </P><P>Bieber's been giving his fans plenty of tantalizing sneak peeks over the past week. In addition to announcing the release date during an appearance on "The Voice," he also brought along a teaser for his as-yet-unreleased "Boyfriend" video. After that glimpse, he was spotted <a href="/news/articles/1683642/justin-bieber-boyfriend-music-video-kiss.jhtml">shooting new scenes</a>&#8232; for the highly anticipated clip in which he was kissing a mystery brunette on set. </P><P> </P><P>"The concept of this video, I mean, it's not like a steady concept," Bieber <a href="/news/articles/1682156/justin-bieber-explains-boyfriend-video.jhtml">told MTV News</a>&#8232; while shooting the video back in March. "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of amazing scenes: like a fire scene, we have an ice scene. </P><P> </P><P>"It's kind of like bouncing back and forth," he said. "And then there's scenes of me and just a bunch of girl dancers, and just some great shots, great artistic shots, great shots of me smiling. It's fun." </P><P>He also tweeted out the <a href="/news/articles/1684079/justin-bieber-believe-album-cover.jhtml">cover art</a>&#8232; on Friday, a simple black-and-white close-up of his face with the word "BELIEVE" stamped in a yellow caution-tape font underneath. The album will reportedly feature a song reacting to the <a href="/news/articles/1683857/justin-bieber-believe.jhtml">paternity suit</a>&#8232; filed by a 20-year-old California woman who claimed she became pregnant with Bieber's baby after a brief bathroom hook-up at an October 2010 concert; the suit was dropped in November. </P><P> </P><P>In addition to whatever Kanye and Bieber cooked up, the album will also feature a <a href="/news/articles/1683050/justin-bieber-taylor-swift-collaboration.jhtml">duet with Taylor Swift</a>&#8232;, as well as magic made with Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine and Drake.</p>
