Justin Bieber and Chris Brown have hit the studio again and penned a song together “for the fans.” It’s anyone’s guess what the meeting of these two R&B devotees have brewed up, but a lot of people are excited.
Justin Bieber and Chris Brown rocked a certain part of the Internet Monday after the Biebs posted an Instagram photo of himself and Breezy in a studio looking like they know they’re sitting on a hit .
Justin’s caption, as usual gloriously non-grammatical, read: “Studio, me and CB did 1 for the fans.”
The new photo comes after Bieber’s Saturday snap of Brown, Akon and others taken during a session in a Los Angeles recording studio on Friday, and Brown’s pictures with Lil Boosie, Tyga, producer/songwriter RoccStar, and Latin star Prince Royce.
To say Bieber’s fans — Beliebers — and Brown’s — Team Breezy – are excited about what sound, lyric and mood the two cooked up musically together is an understatement. There’s also the question of the creative space the pair are coming from.
From the black and white photo of Brown and Bieber , the vibe isn’t apparent. But, we know both have serious legal challenges going on in their lives.

Brown was released from jail on June 2 after serving 108 days for breaching his Rihanna-assault probation with a new assault charge, for which a Washington D.C. trial is pending. There were also rumors of abuse suffered in jail by the singer.
For Bieber, having avoided a trial in his Miami DUI with a plea deal and amid news that the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office rejected a charge of felony attempted robbery, Monday revealed the 20-year-old will be charged as either felony or criminal vandalism over a house-egging of which he is accused.
Justin is also coming off a two weeks of largely damning and exploitative coverage of videos from several years ago, in which he used the the N-word and racially insensitive language.
Resulting media and public comment called a youngster who has reportedly now embraced the African American culture “a racist” on the basis of rubbish uttered as a child/young teen, while limited attention was given to probes into TMZ’s alleged access for suppression deal with Bieber’s team and what the ramifications of a few, ignorant moments would mean for a kid caught up in alleged corrupted journalism .
How deep Brown and Bieber dug from their respective wells of emotion, if at all, on their new song remains to be heard. They may want to give fans a party. They might be singing about women. Who knows?
Previous collaborations – 2011’s “Next to You” and “Ladies Love Me” – weren’t classics. But, is something different this time?
New music “for the fans” is coming from the Biebs and Breezy, and the feeling of excitement is real.
