'Beautiful Soul' singer Jesse McCartney has announced details of his forthcoming fourth studio album, which is called 'In Technicolor'. 

The record has now been confirmed as having a release date of July 22 and he explained to MTV News that the offering is "by far my proudest musical achievement to date". 

Pre-orders for the album will begin tomorrow, June 10, and McCartney added that he knew which direction this record's sound was about to go in after writing the song 'Back Together':

"We wrote a song that – somewhat accidentally – nailed a sound I was searching for for myself. It was retro, it was contemporary. I envisioned real horns, real instruments, syncopated and tight. That song ‘Back Together,’ was really the start of this album. After that, my direction was really clear to me and I knew exactly what I wanted."
