“I feel like we should talk about how fire your album is,” Chance says before adding: “I would say, I’m gonna, this is no cap at all and I said this to you in Chicago, it’s some of the best music I’ve ever heard, period, it reminds me of when Michael Jackson made ‘Off The Wall’.

He continued: “Everybody that’s listening…I promise you it is literally groundbreaking music. Stuff that’s like, it’s just hard to explain and I don’t want to give away, like, the genres and all that stuff. But you went crazy and I already told you that. But, like, I’m just excited that everybody’s gonna get to hear that.”

‘Off The Wall’ was released in 1979 and spawned a number of classic hits including ‘Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough’, ‘Rock with You’, ‘Girlfriend’ and the album’s title track.

Bieber is set to head out on a ‘Changes’ North American tour in 2021, which was recently rescheduled due to the coronavirus crisis.
