Cody Simpson on Justin Bieber duet record: 'We have put those songs away'

'Flower' hitmaker Cody Simpson has revealed that the music he worked on with Canadian superstar Justin Bieber won't be released in the near future as they're both currently trying to establish themselves in their own genres. 

He recently told MTV News that the right time for their collaborative album is yet to come around so for now, the joint project won't be seeing the light of day:

"We worked on a bunch of other songs, but then we decided to put them away, because we both had different directions we wanted to go in. Not because we didn't want to be friends - I just wanted to truck as much as I can down this way and he wanted to reestablish himself in this world over here, so we didn't want to release something where people are like, 'Oh, these two kids are just the same'."

Simpson, meanwhile, explained to Yahoo! Style earlier this week that he gets tired of reading strange things about himself online:  just because I haven't tweeted for the past ten minutes doesn't mean I'm dead. Seriously... I hear a lot of weird stuff about myself."
